Manchester GUKPT: Day 1A - At A Glance

[NoflopsHomer]

Mateyboy lays down Kings now. (we assume)

Limp utg for 150, UTG+1 raised to 750. Mid-position makes it 2k, UTG folds, UTG+1 re-raises to 7000 total with about 8k back, MP moves all-in, UTG+1 dwells and folds. Both gave hints that they held KK and AA.

Flushy update - he was previously on about 4.5k maybe 10 minutes ago - he said he was bored and hadn't yet played a hand well. Actually he said that the whole tournament felt like a bit of a non-event, lacking the atmosphere of other GUKPT events. I think he just said that because he was losing though. And just as I was heading back up to the press room, I saw him go all in for 1600 on a  flop with some obvious preflop action. He found a caller in Jack Owen. "Am I ahead?" says Flushy, turning over . Miles ahead of Owen's  .

For the benefit of the person who was asking after Andrious Tapinas, the gentleman who was previously sat next to him on the long-broken Table 1 informs me that he went OUT some time ago. Sorry.

Simon Zach is down to about 2.5k and in need of some consolation.

[danafish]

And Paul Parker is on 12k.

Martin Turner is short after calling an all in from Nick Hicks on a board of    (not sure what order they came out in, I'm afraid. Hicks turns over  ; Turner mucks and doesn't look best pleased.

[danafish]

Double-up for DTD player Richard Ashby, courtesy of one Mr Oliver Stone. Didn't see the whole Hand, but Ashby was holding  against Stone's  , and I think there was a full house involved for Ashby, who now has a veritable Platoon of chips and must feel like he was Born On The Fourth Of July. He's a Natural Born Killer all right.

Dinner Break now for 75 minutes. Full chip counts for all remaining players in about 10 minutes.

[NoflopsHomer]

Simon Zach's name is on the cash game waiting list so I'm assuming he's out.

[NoflopsHomer]

Mad Turk is OUT, T-T against A-K.

[danafish]

Flushy, he informed us during the break, is up to 18k after making I think 4 moves with a 100% success rate. He says his earlier short-stackeditude and rockiness is now paying off, enabling him to do silly things like scare off 3 limpers with a raise of 2000 from the small blind holding T- 3 off. Clever him.

Andrew Feldman was down to his last 375 chips having doubled up Bambos with vs .

Board:



He pushed his remaining chips shortly after and was called by the button and both blinds, the board eventually being . Andrew's rivering the straight quadrupling him up.

Paul Parker just won a chunky pot showing A-K on a board against
