R. Abbassi, with whom I was having a breaktime chat, is on just over 2,000 - and that's after having been all-in and survived.  He pushed preflop with what turned out to be - I heard Shaf saying, "I'll gamble" so I turned to watch his table.  Shaf gambled with , as it turned out, to none of our collective surprise.
Anyway - Flop: 
Turn: 
River: 

And although the dealer was already gently pushing the chips towards Abbassi, Shaf was there to set everything straight...

[snoopy1239]

Ramanzanali Abbassi has doubled up. All the chips going in on a Flop, Abassi flopping the nuts with and being paid off by Shaf's .

"I was gambling," he says, perhaps defending a pre-flop call.

[snoopy1239]

Flop =

Ryan Mitchel bets 900 only for Richard Simmonds (pictured) to move all-in for a massive seven or eight k.

Ryan gives it the ol 'I have a hand, but I'm still going to fold because that bet's too expensive' kinda routine, before indeed release A-J face-up.

Eager to see his opponent's hand and find out that he made a 'super fold', which is obviously why he showed his cards, his wishes are met when Simmonds reveals A-Q.

[Djinn]

These were the full counts from the end of the last break - a lot has altered the top spots since then, I will try to add a note if someone's now a chip monster, or out, but thought they might be good to have even if it took a lot of time to get them and write them up (rules are rules; we weren't allowed to help with the count and Jon has been running around like crazy)

Wishing a lot of luck to the blondies playing today. Also big shoutouts to my % swaps @ Luton, Paul M3boy and Lalit "helsinki hellhound" Khajuria.
Im backing claimer, rookie and flushy to go deep in this too.


p.s. tell paul he's missed out on £240 from me so far this week  

You wouldn't let it lie

[snoopy1239]

As I meander on over to the back end of the cardroom and over towards the wheel of death, Nick Slade who seems to spend more time standing than seated, grabs me and says, "You wanna hear an incredible hand" to which I inevitably reply, being the roving reporter (I hope) that I am, "Yep, go for it."

And with a huff and a puff (it's at this point I know he lost the pot), Nick begins, "5 limpers, I called from the button with 9-J and the flop came 9s-4s-7. Tony Mackay bet 1.4k and I called. He then checked the King Turn, I bet 1,900 and he called again. River came the 6 of diamonds and he moved all-in for 2.4k, which I called because the pot was so big. To my shock, he turned over 7-6o, which means he called for almost half his stack on the turn with third pair. He said he was 'gambling' when questioned, but, and you can tell praz on blonde this, if that's the standard of play from his lads, then he should be ashamed."

The last comment was tongue in cheek. "Praz will find it funny," he added.

Paul Parker is here, tucked, unfortunately, into a murky corner of the separate cash game area over by the bar.  He's got Liam Flood on his left, and shares his table with Emma Strutt, Ashley Hayles and Ben Vinson among others. 

Behind him is the only available cash table (and the scene of last night's drunken hold'em starring VodkaRedBull, Pab and M3 etc.) which is currently stocked with recognisable players, busted ones from yesterday (and today e.g. Bambos) and lurkers that find themselves with a day off in Cardiff and are just irresistably drawn back to the Casino like little moths to a halogen bulb.

Who recognises the player on phone-distracted Channing's right?  I didn't on first wander - had to hear his unique voice to be able to place Mick McCool, in disguise as cross-country skier.  He had a very healthy 26,500 at last check.

[snoopy1239]

that pics funny lol

thats why they called him the kid then lol

hows he doing snoops

You won't be surprised that he's not chip leader, but you may be disappointed that he's only gor 2,325.

I just saw him pass to a check-raise (Mickey bet 1.1k initially) on a Flop, Gary Chatterton the man causing the veteran a headache.

[snoopy1239]

We're on Level 4 at the moment with the blinds at 100/200. There are 144 players with the average stack of 11,400.

We have been informed that the buffet will be available at the end of this level, which really perked young Jennifer up.

[hotdog]

thats no probs for mick hes a grinder lol come on mickey

Is he a Crossroads lookalikie?

Roland De Wolfe has doubled up, betting Aces pre-flop and receiving two callers, before betting 1.5k on the Flop (1 caller) and then 2.5k on the Turn (1 caller again).

River and Mateyboy sticks in 4k, to which Roland responds by moving all-in for 4,125.

So 125 more for the guy to call, and somehow, he manages to pass.

Discussion here in the pressroom suggests that he can't possibly pass, even if he has 9 high due to the information that can be required and the potential for human error.

Funny fold though.
