[webshadow]

great reporting tikay, I was there yesterday (finished 21st *sobs*) great setup by all concerned esp the gutshot club! Mick McIver

"dreaming of that lovely ladder"    is that the trophy step or extending  

[tikay]

Thanks Mick, & I thought you were going to win it at one stage!

[webshadow]

thanks tikay... i was hoping ... never recovered from when I had AA against 2 3 suited ... guess the poker gods can be fickle ... hope to see u around m8 :-)

[tikay]

Man overboard in a real this way & that rollercoaster jobbie!

Hugh Kirtin had TT, Cemal Alp had JJ, but a T flopped, so it looked like Hugh had survived - until Cemal four flushed it...

Oucharoonee!

Hugh Kirtin OUT

[tikay]

Now Tom Sambrook is OUT, he took his chance with 44, but Killer Cemal caught his flush with a card to spare. Hugh out 4th.

[tikay]

So it's Ben The Milky Bar Kid Grundy, James The Geordie Browning, Cemal "Jimmy" Alp, & Mick The Clock Cook.

I will try & get some chip counts in a mo.

And a CORRECTION - Hugh was out FIFTH, not FOURTH, as I reported.

[Colchester Kev]

why is mick cook called "the clock" and why is cemal called "jimmy"  .....just curious .

[tikay]

What a bizarre game this poker is.

Ben Grundy is TOTALLY dominated with Q-T v Mick Cook's Q-J, but a board that includes J-9-K-x-Q takes the chips for Ben, & Mick Cook can only shake his head in frustration. Ben dobles up - BIG smile from Ben......

He seems destined to do well at Gutshot- yesterday he caught QUADS!

[tikay]

I have no idea why Cemal Alp is known as "Jimmy", or Mick Cook "The Clock", but maybe someone out there does........

[riverdave]

Having played dice with Mick he should be known as "The Bokk" 

[tikay]

I am only 6 foot from the Final Table, but it's hellish crowded here, plenty of railbirds, so it's tough to see the action, but easy to hear the oohs & aahs.......

But a lovely atmo. Barry Martin has the microphone & is calling the hands, & there is a good spirit between the players, though poor Micky Cook still looks a bit dumbfounded as to how Ben Grundy slipped off the hook.

[tikay]

How you doing in the William Hill comp Dave? They got your number yet?

[riverdave]

Tikay i'm 73rd of 140 left got about 12k they are paying 120 of the starting 1500. Grinding away Whacker style at the moment.

[riverdave]
