Cardiff GUKPT: Day 2 - Interactive

[snoopy1239]

Southampton player, Hoss Parhizkar, is on 41,200.

Meanwhile, Martin James just shook his head after folding the better hand (my guess is Queens) to neighbour (but one) Alessio   Isaia, who added another 8k to Martin's 4k pre-flop bet. Both big stacked (Martin 80k), he obviosiously didn't fancy taking the risk and mucked his hand. When Alessio showed his Jacks, Martin tutted and said, "I had better than that, can't believe you re-raised with Jacks."

hi jen and snoops, have you found anywhere to stay tonight yet?

Yes, we've moved to the Novatele where they don't have bunk beds. Last night we slept on slabs in a room that had one bed in the air in order to save space. I am much happier now, we even have cushions on the bed. Yipeee.

Yes, Zach looks to have topped the 200k mark.  I took this photo yesterday, and he seemed sad that it hadn't made the cut, so it's going up now.  Just imagine a big stack of yellow 5k chips to the right of the towers and that's what he looks like now.

My good lord, he's just hit the luck jackpot right now, and how:

He and Alessio Isaia saw a flop of (judging from positions I reason Dave must have raised preflop and been called, or perhaps called a re-raise from Alessio).  In any case it was carnage on the flop - Dave Smith made a move, getting it all in (his stack started at over 50,000) with . 
Alessio called, as one does with for the, er, stone-cold nuts.

Turn: 
River: 

And did he get his runner-runner house quietly?  Not in the very least.  The full stand-up, double fist pump, "YEAH!!! BABY YEAHH" for long enough for every head in the room to turn his way as he scooped the six-figure pot.

oh im good,lol.

gooooo dave.

jen,has he got his funny hat on?

[Djinn]

oh im good,lol.

gooooo dave.

Yes he has the most distinctive headwear in the room by a country mile.  But I have to say that poker might have been the loser in that particular chip-up.

A quick scurry through the cardroom and it looks like these are your chip leaders:

Simon Zach -- 185k
Steve Craig -- 156k
Vicky Coren -- 149k
Roy Brindley -- 149k
Roberto Romanello -- 124k

GOOOO DAVES HAT.

Meanwhile, I've been on Shortwatch -

Dave Colclough describes his stack's descent as a "smooth path" downwards - hopefully he'll find an escalator at the bottom to get him up from his 26,700.
Alan Henson     21,000
Burnley John    26,600  (not as short as he was in this picture taken in the first level of the day, though)...

[Djinn]

You might be wondering how Roy Brindley got so many chips...well, a lot of them are Richard Redmond's... I saw a crowd gathering on their table and a hefty pot was already in the centre (120k+) while Richard was thinking about calling the final, all-in raise from Roy (only about 20k more). 
The flop:   Richard was clearly not liking the fact that his flop check-raise had been met with confidence, but he felt he had to call with .
Roy showed: 
"I think you're in pretty good shape there, Roy," said a tablemate, encouragingly.  The turn and river were the and the whole juicy pot made its way one seat left.

Looks like five tables will make it to the dinner break in half an hour's time.
