Manchester GUKPT: Day 1A - Interactive

[danafish]

On a flop of  , Mazhar Nawab bets 2575, and Gary Chatterton goes all in for about 15k. There is much dwelling from Nawab. "You want to go all in? You sure?" he says. Gary, who is sitting back in his chair with his shades on, nods. "If I pass will you show?" "No," says Gary. He passes anyway - JJ. "Good pass," says Gary, and true to his word does not show his cards. It must be the subduing power of the shirt.

nice work flop!! tx for the up date

[NoflopsHomer]

George 'WellChief' MacDonald is up to 67k. In a hand he described as 'a gift', another player check-raised all-in on a K-7-5 board (re-raised preflop), it was about 18k to call with 39k already in the pot. George made the call and found himself up against....8-9. No gutshot 6 and he's now most likely chip leader.

Now, where are those supportive Scots?

[NoflopsHomer]

Mick Fletcher is on 22k, lost half his stack with Kings against Fives and with Nines against Kings. Expect to him to all the chips or none of them by the end of play.

There seems to be not a great deal of action going on, they're all a bit quiet down there. Perhaps they're sad that they're not in Vegas, or perhaps it's the locale (there's basically nothing in the immediate area except for Strangeways prison, and that's not really a vibrant night-time entertainment destination. Anyway, there have been a lot of hands like this one -

On a  flop, Grant Pullen bets 3000 and Thomas Dunwoodie calls.

They both check the  turn.

River - - Dunwoodie bets and Pullen folds. Dunwoodie shows his  .

60 left in.

Chris Bruce is going well, he's up to 47k.

Meanwhile Terry Nelson and Steve Higton get all-in preflop

All in preflop:

Terry:

Steve:

Terry slammed his cards down triumphantly, shouting "Come on!" which made me think he was tempting fate a little...

Board:



And having hit a two-outer in the first level, Nelson now goes out to a two-outer himself.

Here are some more borderline non-hands -

Board  - R Lee moves in; Mazhar Nawab folds. Boring.

Greg Amoils raises from the button; B Dong (who admittedly has a very fine name) moves in; Amoils folds and Dong (ahh ha ha ha) shows his AJ. Boring.

Greek Jack raises from the cutoff to 2600. B Dong (Ahhhhhhh ha ha haha!) reraises to 6600; Greek Jack folds. Boring.

Oh wait! An all-in with a caller! Steve Fox moves in preflop with  and Son Hoang calls with  . Board comes  and



wait for it...




 ! Thus doubling him up to maybe 12.5k.

Jules Harwith is OUT

AK v 99, 9 on the board and no kings or aces at all.

He just now popped his head around the door of the press room. "Nightmare," said he, and then, like a bad dream, he was gone.

Any news on Nick Hicks please :-D

[NoflopsHomer]

Nick Hicks has half-way between doubled and trebled up. Half-Quintupled?

One player limped. Kerry Taylor pushed for about 6k. Chris Bruce called. Nick Hicks pushed behind for another 6k and Chris called that too after the limper evitably got out of the way.

Kerry:



Chris:



Nick:



Board:

.

Nick has about 30k now.

Flushy is on 20,150.

[NoflopsHomer]

John McNair was the guy who knocked out Jules, certainly the chip leader now. Find out the exact count in a second.
