[Djinn]

Later start today - lots of milling around downstairs as the (presumably larger number of) runners sign their TV release forms and take their seats.  No, wait, any second now.... Shuffle Up and Deal!

Spotted:

Lucy Rokach
Tikay    (Who presented me with the totally unexpected gift of a cake with a picture of him asleep in Notts Gala printed on the icing)
Julian Thew
Paul Alterman
James Akenhead
Les Kerrigan
Dan Carter
Womble
Simon Zach
Roy Brindley

157 starting today.

And that was just as we got to the stairs at the back of the room, leading to the lift leading to the corridor leading to the airlock leading to the press room.
____________________________________

Leon Leukides is OUT after his flush draw runs into the AA of Alan Dean, however, meaning we are down, semi-officially, from 159 runners to 158 after just a few minutes...

[NoflopsHomer]

Lucy Rokach uses the half-wilson to get Barry Neville to pay her off for a 1.5k bet on the river of a board.

Jac Arama finds his 500 river bet on a board raised to 2k. He eventually makes the call with , which is good.

[NoflopsHomer]

Ryan Fronda hasn't had a great start, he's had Jacks against Ace King lose, something else against Rudders' Queens lose too, and then having to pass Ace King on a Queen high board.

[NoflopsHomer]

Ryan Fronda hasn't had a great start, he's had Jacks against Ace King lose, something else against Rudders' Queens lose too, and then having to pass Ace King on a Queen high board.

Worse now, he's OUT, he made a big overbet push on a board in the face of an 850 bet, which made me think he had a big draw, he got a call from the original raiser who was holding , which was in fact ahead of Ryan's .

Turn:

....

River:



Ace high scoops.

Ash Hussain is also OUT, Ace King with the nut flush draw against Jacks, and then Jacks against Ace King.

[Djinn]

Speedier exit for Kevin Daly - at the bar asking if I wanted to "hear a sad story..."  It wasn't that bad, as it turned out - here's what happened:
Kevin was in the small blind holding .  A preflop raise to 300 was called in a couple of spots, and he flat called too.
Flop:    He checks.  The big blind makes it 700, raised in late position to 1,900.  Then the button pushes all-in for around 3k more.  Back to Kevin, who dwells for many a minute before deciding to push all-in over the top.  The big blind then surprises him by calling - so he was in for a 26k pot with middle set against:

The big blind's and the button's .

No pair-up and he was probably third out.  "At least I'm out early in Brighton..." he remarks optimistically.
____________________________________

Ram Vaswani also planned on playing, but turning up half an hour late doesn't work over here, yet.  Chips off the table - next!

[NoflopsHomer]

Simon Zach is OUT.

Jac Arama made it 350 with Tens, Simon Zach called and then a late position raiser made it 2k. Jac Arama passed and Simon called.

Flop:



Simon checks, LP re-raiser (who had Aces) bets 3k and Simon pushed for 4,850 more.  LP called with Aces, only to find Zach holding instead. The case ace came on the turn and no club on the river. Stuart Rutter said, "I was convinced Simon had Jacks, the problem was he didn't have enough to make the other guy pass but it was still a good call with the aces. If he (Simon) had had 5k more or so, then perhaps that would've been enough."

Richard Redmond knocks out Aida Airs. Q-Q against 9-9, all-in on the turn on of an A-2-9-Q-A board.

Wesley Lopez is OUT, J-J against Big Dave Smith's K-K.

[NoflopsHomer]

Can one of you get a message to Dewwi.......

Tell him I can't make it as I felt unwell when I set off, and even a coffee and sleep didn't hepl.

Tell him don't worry about me and concentrate on the game.

I'm gonna rail him online!!!

Brendan.

Sadly he's at the bar, he got crippled in a multiway pot holding a flush against a full house, he then had A-5 on an A-3-5 board only for Jac Arama to be holding 2-4 in the big blind, all the chips going in by the river. Stu Rutter also got just caught, betting 4.5k into an 8k pot on a board, his opponent eventually calling with Rutter forced to show .

[Djinn]

Selected counts from a couple of early requests:

Womble        14,000
Lucy Rokach   14,125
Alex Ross aka Niall O'Griblin  11,000
Richard Redmond   19,000
Jeff Kimber            14,500
Marc Goodwin        9,000    ("I played AK badly on a King-high board..." he was muttering)
Roy Brindley           6,300

Dan Carter - OUT

[NoflopsHomer]

Interesting hand.

Nick Evans raises preflop and Dennis Clough calls.

Flop:



Dennis checks, Nick bets 600, Dennis c/raises to 2.2k. Nick calls after a dwell.

Turn:



Now Dennis bets out 4k with about 6k behind. Nick dwells for ages, so long that I hear a scream from Joshua Tyler who rivers the nut straight on another table to win a big pot. Meanwhile Nick eventually moves all-in and Dennis mucks quickly...Nick shows .

Paul Webb is OUT with A-A vs the J-J of Suad Serhan, all-in preflop. Board: T-Q-K-J-Q!

[Djinn]

David Young (pictured next to a narcoleptic-looking Paul King) went out literally seconds after this picture was taken.  He exited the card room, saying, "Out...top set...out," which he later elaborated on - he'd called an under the gun raise to 500 (blinds now 75/150) in the big blind with .  On a flop of J-T-8, he check-raised a bet of 800 to 3,000, only to find his heads up opponent pushing his whole stack in.  Apparently this person (identity unknown at time of posting) had been playing tight, and so David was surprised to see his top set all-in against .  The Queen completed that up and down straight draw however, and he found himself suddenly on the rail.

[Djinn]

I rather foolishly decided to re-set-out the preceding break's chip counts which took ages and might not be that interesting.  But at least this is an accurate picture of who's sitting with whom...

[NoflopsHomer]

how is antoni romanello doing please

He's got about 15.5k, which is good, with the average being 13.3k at the moment.

Meanwhile Damian Evans pushed his last 4.7k in with on the board of after James Akenhead's 3.1k bet. It took James a little bit more time than it should to call with , 1.6k, with around 13k in the pot already. The river giving Evans the double up.

[NoflopsHomer]

Warren Woolrdige has doubled through, he held against Johnel Bracey's

Board:

....At this point Warren gets up, ....He picks up his water bottle, ...water bottle back down, ...Warren sits back down, ...Warren rakes the chips.
____________________________________

John 'EPT' Duthie (pictured) is now OUT - only with the cracked Aces... against the 8-9 of Steve Jelinek.  Flop 8-T-J where the majority went in (what is it with these nines as straightening cards?  Tired and starting to see sinister patterns everywhere like that guy in Pi) and Jelinek hit and knocked him out.
