Brighton GUKPT: Day 1A - Interactive

[NoflopsHomer]

While doing a bit of aimless rail staring during a quiet period, a railer asked me, "Do you want a picture of the winner?"  Well, always interested in extremely enthusiastic tips for the top (or instances of psychic powers), I was pointed at this guy - Chris Gavriel.  Up to tenth in chips after four levels, this is probably your current leader (or top three at least) with 45,500.

Something about calling a John Exeley Aces raise with , calling on an A-T-x board with one diamond, calling a big turn bet when a second diamond hit before pushing when he rivered his miracle flush and being called.

[NoflopsHomer]

Praz made a small raise on Vicky Coren's big blind and she called. She bet out 500 on the T-7-3 flop with two diamonds, Praz made it 1,100. She moved in for 4,100 more and he called with Jacks. She held 7-3, the turn was a 4 giving Praz a flush draw as well as his overpair, but the river was also a 4, giving Praz Jacks and Fours, (the Group after Michael left) and sending the EPT London winner to the rail.

10 minute break.

Jen was looking for cake, but has been cruelly denied.

Good news for Mo Muse, down to 125 chips early on, he's now on 30k. That trumps my previous climber, Roberto Romanello who had gone from 2k in the first levels to 15k.

Hi

Just wondering how Stuart Nash is doing?

Really enjoying the updates, thanks!!

 

Stuart has 16,400, after, "I haven't won a hand in the last hour.  Nicked a few blinds and antes..." he trails off, but isn't too far behind the average stack.

50k pot drifts the whole of Ashley Alterman's stack to Glynn Rees - his vs. Alterman's , preflop, I assume.  Thanks to Jeff Rogers for taking pity on me looking at the empty seat and the new big stack and explaining the coup...

[NoflopsHomer]

Ian Woodward limped on John Exley's big blind, Exley checked, but then bet 1,000 on the , an action flop if ever I saw one... Woodward made it 4,000 and Exley pushed all-in. Woodward eventually made the call with taking longer than he probably needed, which was vunerable but far ahead of Exley's .

Turn:



Extra outs...

River:



Exley doubles up and Woodward is on deathwatch.

I think, from left to right, we have Nik Persaud's nose, Dave Colclough, Mad Marty Wilson and Evil Elvis (actual name Paul Astaniotis) who kind of steals any multiperson photo.  Well, you do when your outfit involves rhinestones and you're not on stage in a Nashville nightclub. 

Elvis has, unfortunately, left the building a fair while ago now...
