Walsall GukPT: Day 1B - At A Glance

[snoopy1239]

Paul Dobson has eliminated Dan Owston to become one of the chip leaders with 65,725.

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

Meanwhile, blondeite Chris Bruce has just received a massive double up off Rug (the youngster down to the felt as a result) after his Pocket Jacks stood up against Rug T-9 on a 9-3-4 rainbow Flop. Turn and River brought two Sixes.

[snoopy1239]

Rugster has walked away from the field of play and his 200 chips have been anted away. He is therefore OUT.

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

Jon 'Texas' Hewston is also OUT.

Three way pot (I believe there was a raise pre-flop).

Everyone checks the three diamon Flop.

Ross Boatman bets the Turn, Mateyboy folds, John moves all-in and Ross calls instantly.

Ross flopped a flush with whilst Jon had two black threes.

"He was making a move, he just did it at the wrong time," added Ross.

Jerome Bradpiece     38,500
Nick Hicks                11,200

-----------

James Browning moves all-in with against on a Flop. Turn and River bring and though for a split pot and the Late Night Poker man survives.

[snoopy1239]

A dejected Flushy is down to 15k after limp re-raising all-in with A-Q. Unfortunately he ran into Kings and 20k sailed away from his stack.

The most painful thing, however, was the Ace that hit the Flop, only for a King to arrive on the Turn.

[Djinn]

Jerome Bradpiece eliminates two short stacks, going for it preflop with and finding himself in a commanding position against and ... It only got better for him as the board came: rag rag rag (I wasn't paying any attention to the flop after the turn arrived)....

And BA Kildalen loses the lot in two goes, the first chunk hurting more, as it involved getting all in on a board of 3-6-6-T with T-T (comfortably ahead of the J-J against him) only for the river (so cruel) to bring that Jack. 
Then it was a matter of re-raising 7k from the blinds with and finding willing to gamble.  He had to wait for the painful part of the deal this time too:
Flop: 
Turn:   
River: 

The last remaining representative of the 1% of the field which was made up of Norwegians bites the dust, and may be joining us in the press room tomorrow.  Or the cash game.

[snoopy1239]

The players are currently on the last 15 minute of the day. When they return, they will complete the final level.

The blinds will be 400 and 800 with a running ante of 75. The average stack is 75.

71 players left.

Eleventh hour (literally) double up for Flushy:

All in preflop with against Adam Stoneman's (although when you look at what comes out, it would have happened anyway...)
Flop:
Turn: 
River: irrelevant

So if he doesn't do anything rash, he's going to end the day (in 15 mins) with a little over average.

[Djinn]

Also maintaining their focus in the late stages are Nick Hicks (over 25k) who was kickstarted on his chip accumulation by getting it in with A-K against A-8, and...I was just about to mention Praz but word has drifted to the Press Room that the previous GUKPT champion has just this minute gone out...

[snoopy1239]

Adam Stoneman is OUT.

Raising pre-flop, Ash Hussain called from the button before encountering a raising war on the Flop.

Adam had , Ash 

Turn =

River =

[snoopy1239]

Flushy raised under the gun with Queens, Shaf called two seats down and both players checked the Flop.

Flushy check-called 2.5k on the Turn, and then (I think) another bet on the River, only to find that he'd lost to the perhaps suprising holding of .

[Djinn]

And in the last hand of the day, Ali Woods is eliminated (very short; forced to move with J-2, taken out by Q-4) which brings the total number of players progressing to Day Two from Day 1B to 61.

And Praz apparently made a largeish bluff with the rest of his chips, and got a brave call with second pair which removed him from the tournament.

That's about it; they're racing off the orange 25 chips, and then there'll be a redraw... we'll get the full list of counts whenever they appear.
