Brighton GUKPT: Day 1A - At A Glance

[NoflopsHomer]

Comedy hand from Flushy now, he had so much fun telling me about it, he didn't care about missing a couple of hands.

He, along with 5 others, limps for 200 with . Vicky Coren on the button makes it 600, and ALL the limpers call.

Flop:



Everyone checks.

Turn:



Checked to Flushy, who bets 200 (!) into the 4k+ pot, probably trying to find out where the ace is. He gets 3 callers, whilst Vicky mucks her hand.

The river is and everyone checks. Flushy's is good against J-T, 7-7 and what was probably the naked . Vicky passed Kings apparently.

[NoflopsHomer]

JP doubles up with against an LP raiser with , he's still a bit short though.

One-hand Rumit is threatening to become Every-Hand Rumit.

First his 1.2k river bet on a with is paid off by Richard Ashby.

Then he takes down a 4-way pot with against the of one player and the of Barney who must have loved the flop of the board.

Two former champions slug it out...



No, not those two...

Cardiff Winner, Michael Greco raises it up from the cut-off. The small blind calls, Walsall Winner Jerome Bradpiece in the big blind pushes his shortened stack in. Greco dwells a little before calling, the small blind folds.

Greco:



Bradpiece:



Board:



Greco takes a small hit and Bradpiece doubles up his previously short stack.

[NoflopsHomer]

The 150/300 level a second time now with a 25 running ante.

[NoflopsHomer]

Vicky Coren shoves for a big overbet after calling Praz's raise in the big blind on a board.

Vicky: "Come on let's gamble...Or maybe not, it depends what you have."

Praz: "I have Sevens."

Vicky: "Let's gamble then."

Praz: "I can't call..."

And he mucks, Vicky flashes the , no doubt the other card was the , or .

Pab got caught bluffing on a board by for a 1.2k or so with (or it might have been )


Simon Taylor is OUT, calling all-in with Queens on a board against Shaf's Kings. and were the turn and river that were no help.

Shaf was his usually magnanimous self in victory.

"Send it over to daddy."

[NoflopsHomer]

Jerome Bradpiece is OUT in pretty galling circumstances. Jeff Buffenburger and one other player limper, Jerome made it 1,700 with A-Q. Jeff re-raised to 5,000 and the other limper passed. Jerome put Jeff on a pure steal and pushed and Jeff was committed to call with his....K-3

And a 3 came on the turn...

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.
______________________________

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.
