Midlands Meltdown Day 2 - Interactive

[danafish]

Well, they're off! There's a lot of yawning and ordering of cups of coffee going on, but there's some action too.

Early double-up for Ian Hotdog Fieldhouse, all-in with kings on a ten-high flop against Matt Porter's QT.

Incidentally, they've decided to play the whole 600/1200 level again today, so the players will have had 90 minutes at this level. Kind of easing them into the day. Oh, I want coffee now...

Tom (Red-Dog) just told me that the first orbit cost him 10k, but he's still comfy with 35k-ish.

He says there were SIX all-ins in the first orbit!

Phillip Green has doubled through Andy Johnson.



Johnson checked, Green bet 5k, Johnson made it 10k, Green moved in and Johnson called.

Green:



Johnson:



River:



Red Dog has lost about 7k having to fold Nines to preflop limped Queens.

ffs  andy  do u have to play that cxxxp? keep your chips pal

[danafish]

The short stacks are wasting no time in getting involved, maybe so they can go back to bed or something.

Tim Flanders raises it up to 4k preflop; Patrick Murray, resplendent in his Johnny Texas Branded Promotional Shirt, calls, as does Mickey Wernick over on the button.

Flop - 

Tim Flanders bets 6k, and Patrick Murray immediately moves in for another 13.5k, which just about covers Tim too. This makes Tim Flanders tense and sad, and he spends about 5 minutes spinning a 100 chip and staring into some sad place inside his mind, before he calls.

Tim Flanders - 

Patrick Murray - 

It's not looking good for Tim Flanders. But

Turn -  and people are already shouting split pot, and then

River -  and split they do.

Incidentally, when people get themselves sponsored for an event in a kind of you-must-wear-my-corporate-shirt-all-the-way-through-the-comp sort of way, do they get more than one shirt? I mean, I guess a 2 day event's fine, but surely during longer events, the shirt must get gross over the course of 5 or more days of gruelling sitting around in it and sweating. Hotels do not always have quick laundry services.

Mark 'Mantis01' Allden has knocked out V Madan, he'd apparently come over the top of Madan's raises a couple of times forcing the latter to fold, but this time Madan elected to call with Ace King, except Allden had Kings this time.

Mick Fletcher has doubled up with against Anthony Nicholls'

Board:


Alan Mclean has knocked out A Smith with against , Queen on the flop.

Craig Owen is OUT, his fell to J Moult's with the harmless board turning nasty with an river.

[danafish]

Lots of moderately-sized bluffing on the river followed by swift folds when somebody calls going on. Saw Mr S Walms or Walmsley, no-one's actually very sure what his name is, quietly fold when Toni Dicesare called his river bet with ace high, and I saw Andy Johnson just walk off as soon as his opponent started picking chips up to call.

Meanwhile, Alan McClean has been increasing his chip lead - he took down a pot on an x-x-K-K-x board with KJ against some unfortunate gentleman's KT.

But the real excitement is that Paul Jackson is OUT - "I took a bad beat," said he, and indeed he did. Finding himself all-in with the mighty 7-4 "Full Wilson" against John Burke's pocket kings, he somehow failed to hit, and was last seen wandering across the casino floor telling anyone who would listen about his astounding failure to win with the magic hand.

It'd be lovely to see blondeite "MANTIS01" go deep on this. He's been a breath of fresh air to the blonde "Poker Hand Analysis" Board, with some lovely Posts, & he's a nice lad, too.

See many of his Posts here.....
