Cardiff GUKPT: Day 1A - Interactive

[Djinn]

Good news for Nick Hicks fans - just saw him bet out 500 on a flop, called.  Double check on the turn; on the river and Nick took down a pot of over 2,000 with another 500 bet.

Meanwhile table tikay's action has all being raging without any actual participation from Mr. Kendall himself.  He told me he hadn't played a hand, but that Jac Arama had only sat out of two so that kind of evens things out.

Perhaps a few selected counts - before the veritable chip census which will happen in the break (bless the seat cards, what a clever idea that was )

Here's a very chip-ful hand. The board is  , with about 10,000 in the pot. Turn comes  ; Fabio Loducca checks, Ash Hussain bets 2000 and is called by both Carlo Citrone and Loducca. Loducca shows aces, but Ash has  for a very nearly but not quite straight flush. Still, it's good, as Citrone mucks. Ashad Hussain now has considerably more chips than previously.

Hi Jen and Dana, having read the first couple of pages of this update, I'm sure that everything will be seamless.

Here are Paul King and Michael Greco, both playing tomorrow and currently Hanging Out. Paul's staying at our hotel and very kindly offered us his car to get ourselves here earlier. Jen politely and inexplicably declined and we got a cab instead, but apparently it's some kind of enormous 4x4/ Monster Truck, so maybe he'll let us drive it round the car park for fun later.

Barry Neville is down to just 3k or so after getting involved with Mark Blandford, who raised preflop and called a re-raise (I think it was that way round).  Anyway, a 6-high flop came, and Mark bet out, was re-raised heavily, and pushed in for his whole stack of nearly 10k.  Barry called, showing , but he was up against , which stayed good.

Check out this photo, you can just imagine him saying, "Cardrack," which he did.

Even if Praz is a runhotlagtard at the moment, he really is different gravy.

Julian Thew has found an extra 2000 chips since Jen's count; he is currently on 11,500. Here he is with someone I was too polite to ask to get out of the photo.

A couple of pictures as we slide into the first break:  Dewi looking Cool; Mike Lacey and Michael Muldoon.

This hand looked moderately juicy when I caught it towards the end. On a  board, Karl Mahrenholz checks and Graeme Warren bets 1600. Mahrenholz wells, and dwells, then he thinks about it for a while, and dwells some more. Finally he calls. Mahrenholz shows  ; Warren shows  . Somehow the split pot seems a bit disappointing after all that impressive dwelling.
