Broadway Festival: Day 1 - At A Glance

[NoflopsHomer]

Thewy is down to 6k, he had a Jack on a J-J-x board but ended up out-kicked and had to pass A-J on a A-J-x-K-x board when he was raised on the turn and passed to a sizeable bet on the river.


Mad Turk is on 6k too, he says he hasn't had any hands all week, but Snoopy just pointed out that if he needed hands, "he wouldn't be Mad Turk then."


Last hand before the break, (blinds will be 100/200) when we come back, El Blondie moved all in for around 7k and Ian Woodley called with Queens, the blonde one had Kings and doubled up. Incidentally Woodley was apparently the one who said they had to play this one last hand before the break.

[NoflopsHomer]

Matt is down to 12k after running two pair into trips (A-J vs. 5-5 on an A-J-5 Flop).

The same player took massive pot off Martyn Cavanagh, calling his Q-Q down ALL the way, only to spike a gutshot on the River. As a result, the once chipped up Martyn is also down to 12k.

-------------------------

Simon Zach just pushed all-in against a Mateyboy bet on a board, Matey dwelt before passing his face up.

[NoflopsHomer]

Nick Slade in a pot against Mateyboy.

Board:

Matey passes his face up.


Nick shows

Nice tidy fold from Michael Greco.

Three-handed with Iwan Jones (small blind), Dave Clayton (big blind) and Michael Greco (trap 2) all reaching the River of a board.

With 2.2k in the pot, Iwan checked, Dave bet 600, Michael made it 1,600, Iwan folded, Dave moved all-in for 8,225 and Michael folded for bottom full house.

Dave revealed his hand to his next door neighbour before mucking, but Chris Gavriel asked for them to be turned over.

[NoflopsHomer]

Without the running antes, this is going to be a long one, hope you're ready for a long night, the blinds are now 150/300, avg stack is still 19.4k.

----------

Ian Woodley is OUT

----------

Chris Gavriel moves in with A-K and doubles up off Mick Fletcher's Q-Q.

5-K-9-A-8 board means Gavriel is now over 10k.

[NoflopsHomer]

Big pot developed between Steve Jelinek and Trevor Reardon, Big Trev raised preflop and Jelinek re-raised and was called,



Jelinek bet out and was called, (I missed this part of the hand) but the pot swelled to 8.5k,

Turn:



Now Jelinek bets 5k and Big Trev eventually folded Queens face up.

-----------------------

Simon Zach is now chipped up (35-40k) after eliminating Ronny Kotecha, Aces v Jacks.

[NoflopsHomer]

Julian almost doubled up...but didn't. He had A-T vs A-8 but the board came with a 7-7-J-Q-x meaning he had to split.

[snoopy1239]

Julian Thew is OUT.

All folded except a reluctant big blind (Keith Swayne) who made a smooth call with Aces.

Keith checked the Flop, Julian moved in for 3,125 and Keith called.

Julian showed , but the flush didn't come into fruition.

[snoopy1239]

Rebecca Nielsen -- 5,725

Mark Lowe has doubled up Adam Wilkinson with Tens v Ace King and a 6-K-7-6-4 board. Mark is now down to 8,525 whilst Adam jumps up to 12,500

[NoflopsHomer]

Blinds are now 200/400, there are 63 left, Average stack 22.1k.

[NoflopsHomer]

And the 6 duffs have now sounded as Michael Greco moved all-in with A-Q only to find Tim 'T8MML' Blake's A-K behind him, a 3-T-7-8-J board offered no favours and he is now OUT.

-----------

Mick McCool is fuming after his stack was sliced in half by a young Mateyboy.

Mick got his chips in (4k, 25k, call) with A-T vs. A-6 on an A-6-T-5 board.

6 on the River.

Mick down to 20k.

[NoflopsHomer]

El Blondie is OUT,

He bet 3k on a board and got set in for another 3.5k by S. Javadi (4th player she's knocked out, including cracking A-A with 8-6), he didn't like it but had to call.

Javadi:
