Cardiff GUKPT: Day 1A - Interactive

[Karabiner]

Whats the nicest hotel within a 20 minute drive of the casino please?

Probably not the Etap (I kid you not) where we're staying. Our room is a bit like a student dorm room, only the bed has the kind of mattresses you get in prison. We are, however, very close to Cardiff Central station. Grrr.

If you'd have gone to boarding school you'd have been able to sleep on those standing on your head

Mike Lacey has fallen....and landed at the bar next to an impressively-early-intoxicated Claimer.  He was playing 7-8, and "made a move with a lot of outs."
What this boils down to is that the board came 2-5-6-7 noflush, and he got it checked to him on the turn, bet, then was min-re-raised.  "I don't like minimum raises," asserted Lacey, as a prelude to the story of him pushing in and being called by two pair (5-6).  "I hate min raises," he said again, while drinking beer.

Dana how do you know what prison mattresses are like

Ummm

Bad luck Mike.

Meanwhile Stuart Rutter is on around 2,000 after he got it all in with a flush vs. a set of Jacks.  Despite his neighbour having gotten out of the way with two pair (thus removing a few house outs), the board did pair, and he doubled up John Tabatabai (kunkuwap) - we think.

Jac Arama is in even worse shape however, having been almost continually involved since the tournament began.  Tikay tells us he's on less than a grand; at least he can see in 3D.

Give my best wishes to John Tabatabai ( kunkuwap) just say its from WARNING WARNING WARNING ..... he will understand.

Nice random hand for your reading pleasure.

Richard Cowley raises 700 on top of his big blind, Terrence Nelson calls from the button.

Flop comes  . They check.

Turn  . Cowley bets 1000 and Nelson calls.

River  - Cowley bets 1300, but it's all too much for Terrence Nelson, who folds. I can't tell if Richard Cowley is casting a folding spell on him in the photo.
