Scandie Push-Off News Now:

A short stack was all in preflop, with two callers (both pictured below).  The gent with the unnaturally bright hair is Robert Forsman, not short stacked for a minute today, and he got into a real aggression war with his out-of-position neighbour.  There was a bet-raise-call on the flop, another bet-raise-call on the turn, and on the river, the side pot by now absolutely dwarfing the main pot, there was another bet.  Forsman moved in.  A long think later, and his opponent passed.
Like the lid had just been taken off a highly pressurised canister of testosterone, Forsman leaped up, showed his board-irrelevant , leaving the short stack to take the couple of thousand he was entitled to, and just bullying the side pot into his possession.  "F***! I am so good!" he commentated, wandering off for a minute before regaining composure and shaking his opponent's hand in apology.

Now he's got a stack to take on the other leaders, and I have a feeling he was the guy who took on (and out) tikay too...

[danafish]

A chip-alicious hand from Table Barney. Robert Romanello raises pre-flop, and short stack James Gawen re-raises all in. Table namesake Boatman calls, as does Romanello.

Flop  - check, check.

Turn  - check, check.

River 

Barney bets 4000, Robert calls.


They show...

Barney - 

Robert - 

James Gawen - 

So Gawen is out, and Robert is a happy man.

[NoflopsHomer]

Any non-egotistic scandies playing today or tomorrow?

[hartwith]

ye the pictured scandi playing for badbeat is swedish truck driver, rob forsman, an eccentric character to say the least

Luckyblind here - Blind drunk, great tournie for the 1hr 57mins I saw of it

Pab hanging on in there at the same table as yoyo. How is Dewi still in?

All the real action was next door on the 10pin bowling, pool, air hockey and ridge racer.

TheClaimer is a fish in all these games.

Jen & Dana will be back soon with real updates.

Mike, what do you think of min-raises and re-raises?

[AllInKev]

Indeed harwith is right and he did take out Tikay with his Aces against Tikays' AK i think. Apprently he had shown about 3/4 bluffs within short space of time, and the time Tikay takes him on, Rob has the goods.

He hasn't not even paided to enter it, a couple of his mates have sponsored him and according to reports, he is scaring his table to death!

Hi all
Just got in from a boring day shift at Walsall. I cant be there coz Zak is thee ( tell him i said hi an hes bald and ugly)also tell Sean the Cardiff cardroom manager he still owes me £30 frm Bolton gukpt

[danafish]

In response to Mike, who's had a lot of beer and hijacked Jen's laptop while we were slaving downstairs, Dewi is still in on account of all the pots he's been a-stealing. I think. I saw him involved in a hand with a gentleman who was either Paul Foltym or Lukas Schwartz (I couldn't tell if his card said 608 or 809). Paullukas checks, and Dewi bets 5000. Fold. Dewi's on about 47k, I think.

[KingPoker]

Dewi's a great tourney player- gonna go deep!
GL ace and just a quick question

Is there another first day tomorrow as i might come down. When is the final day sunday?

Doing a great job dana and jen- keep it up!
