Cardiff GUKPT: Day 1A - Interactive

[Djinn]

They're taking their seats, and it looks like a fairly timely start - more people spotted while we were staring with joy at the numbered tables:

Paul Jackson
Roberto Romanello
Dr. Aris
James Browning
Karl Mahrenholz

Apparently we're getting a wonderful spreadsheet (not my words, Mr. Raab's) within half an hour...

[danafish]

Hello everyone, thanks for the nicenesses. Yes, like Jen said, Mr Raab has implemented a kind of player-numbering-plus-identifying-spreadsheet combo, which means that it doesn't really matter that I don't know that many people here, so I'm feeling recklessly confident.

Here is a picture of my shoes, they're a darker shade of fuschia than Snoopy's but still good. I am also wearing an aggressively PINK dress, but Jen's camera has chosen just this moment to run out of batteries, so that photo's going to have to wait for just a little while.

[NoflopsHomer]

Good luck Dana, I'm sure you'll do great.

[Benjo]

Good luck to Jen & Dana !

[samurai_tony]

[Nakor]

Have a good one Jen and Dana.

Good luck to all Blondes running today.

[Djinn]

Praz Bansi managed to get it all in preflop in the first level.  I think it was a case of raise, re-raise, dwell-re-re-raise, pretend frown re-re-re-raise...

Anyway it was against ... chop chop.  And to think, so much drama and no one's out.  Actually, I don't know if anyone's out.  Better go down and check (we suffer from far-away-press-room-lag a bit here).

[LLevan]

Table 11 looks like it could be action packed

[samurai_tony]

after the 3rd reraise even Olivier would struggle to make out he had anything but AA.....there really should be an award made for best poker acting.

[LLevan]

3 boks/picks for today:

John Tabatabai
Stuart Fox
Brian Johnston

& Good Luck to all blondes playing both today & tomorrow.

I was told this story by a railer.  I in no way attribute terrible acting to either player.  Off to see something for myself, this time.
