Cardiff GUKPT: Day 1A - Interactive

[I KNOW IT]

ok thanks anyway

I saw the very end of the Barney Boatman Triples Up hand - board was  . Barney was holding AK, Marty Wilson had AQ. Not sure who the other guy was or what he had, I'm afraid, but it wasn't as lovely looking as AK. Marty Wilson is sad now. Looks like Barney's on around 58,000 now.

With the flop  , Andrea Tommaso bets 350 and Glenn Martyn calls.

Turn -  , and here it gets exciting. Tommaso bets 2500; Martyn raises to 7000. Actually let's call Tommaso Andrea because that's a girl's name and at this stage of the evening, I think that's funny.

So, then follows some considerable dwelling (pictured), before Andrea (ha!) reraises him all in for a few thousand more and is quickly called.

Andrea shows  , Glenn Martyn shows  .

River  , which is no help to anyone, and Glenn has doubled up.

And here is Glenn Martyn celebrating his double up, also subtley incorporating one of the massage ladies.

Des Jonas evens his stack with Karl Mahrenholz's by getting it all in preflop with .  Karl goes for it, asking, "Aces?" which he was probably relieved not to see with his .  However the board came down - and they are both on around 18k.

I just so happened to get this picture right at that exact moment, too (and I greatly apologise to the decapitated lady)-

And after helping stack up Boatman, Marty Wilson makes his last stand with about 1,500 with - he gets a call from pocket Sixes and despite praying to the dealer very vocally for help, she calmly deals the straight cards around the Six, knocking him out to take his wine to the bar.

Here he was, next to Matt Dale...

Yes, she always reminded me of the Brain from Pinky and the Brain.  Not that I'm calling her a squat bulgey-eyed megalomaniacal rodent, by any means.  No, I meant that she is highly intelligent and creative too, at times.

He's still doing OK - got a picture of him, and his left hand side neighbour+1 (i.e. the blind he's going for): none other than Julian Thew who just won't let me take a picture of him looking like a serious player.

Slander! I see absolutely no resemblance.

Matt Dale is nowhere to be seen - he was previously nicking blinds on Table Barney, but he was painfully short, only had about 2000 chips last I saw of him. Next time I passed by the table, poof! he was gone. I'm assuming he's OUT rather than actually vapourised or in another dimension. Here he is in the last throes of it All Going Wrong.

I think we should have a poll for Best Photo Of The Night

And while Matt is off, I spotted Dan Carter hiding in a very dark corner, whose short stack hadn't disappeared as of ten minutes ago.  I hear he's had a pretty good run lately and may be in better shape to whip a tiny stack into a more useful one.
