Floppy may be absent for 10 minutes, he just got bitch slapped into running back to the hotel to pick up a phone charger for someone to borrow.  He deserted his post on the promise of half a bounty and a glimpse of porn .... he needs to work on his negotiating skills that lad !!

Hi guys, back for day 2 and a cracking day's poker is on the horizon, with a pretty strong field assembled in the cardroom.

There are some interesting tables scattered about. There are two tables seperated from the main throng of 8 tables which look like they could be interesting.

Table 9 is home to Raj Modah, the ladbrokes million winner, Julian Thew, of course, who will no doubt be applying his yoyo tactics to good effect and John Falconer, who is wearing an interesting T Shirt, with a logo which is most certainly non-blonde compliant. I'll give you a clue for fun though

"What part of *SOMETHING* off don't you understand?"

Call me the cryptic cat....

Anyway this table should provide some entertainment.

Indeed as I watch Julian is involved in a pot already. Having raised a preflop limper, the limpers bet out of 400 on a flop is raised to 1150 or so by Julian. The limper calls.

The turn is quite the action card, or as it turns out the action-killing card... the .

Both players check quickly.

The river 9, the limper bets out 800 which Julian quickly passes to. He flashed his cards but sadly I wasn't well positioned to see. I'll ask him about it later.

The limper showed J9 for the full house.....

SHOCK HORROR. We have an elimination already! Possibly a record for a gukpt, the legend that is Albert Sapiano, 4th in the Brighton GUKPT, IS OUT in less than 30 minutes!

Details of the hand are that in a raised pot, himself and sid harris saw a 678 flop with 2 clubs. Albert's bet of 1k was raised to 3k by Sid.

The turn was bet to the tune of 2 or 3k by Sid and again Albert called.

The river As was shoved by Sid and Albert obviously viewed the A as a safe card for his QQ, making the call, and finding, somewhat unsurprisingly that Sid's 78 full house was ever so far ahead.

RIP Albert's chips, gone but not forgotten....

Some photos of the dealers again would be good

[JungleCat03]

Irish Denis has joined the tables as an alternate, along with Ouday Hikary and Hoss Parhizkar and will no doubt be spicing up affairs.

I've just received the full player list, with table positionings, so I'll stick that up shortly for all you guys and gals out there...

thats what i thought also !!
They were damn good looking yesterday !

[NoflopsHomer]

Alan Mclean takes a small pot from James Akenhead with on a board.

Priyan De Mel, on the same table scoops a 3k pot with errr 3-2. Off-suit. Against Mclean and Akenhead when the board comes out 8-3-2-4-7. His reasoning being, "threes and deuces always come out when I have 3-2, so I have to call." I suspect it was a little tongue in cheek.

Mickey Wernick wins around 3k too when his opponent hangs himself a little on the 8-6-T-Q-7 board. for Wernick giving him a rivered straight.

Finally, Martino Libertini calls 2.2k on the river of a board, his opponent taps the table when he shows .

Irish Denis has slipped in as an alternative.



Alan Vinson and Mark Lowe

Here's the table layout, hope it is clear. If not Ill redo and repost.

Anyways, Sid Harris has claimed yet another victim, catapulting him clear into the lead at this early point.  He became involved in a raised pot preflop with Paul Kemp.

On a A 9 8 flop, Harris bet 600 which Kemp raised to 1200 and was reraised by Harris to 3700, Kemp now pushed. Didn't take Sid long to call with 99 before Kemp showed  down AK. Er....

An Ace on the turn, gave Kemp some hope, but an effectively blank T on the river consigned him to the casualty list and gave Harris a nice chunky amount of chips to play with....

Mmmmm chunky chips.....

[NoflopsHomer]

Thewy lost a chunk after his raise with Aces met with a J-9-8 two suits board, the turn made the flush which both checked. Thewy folded on the river when a second Jack turned up.

Ryan Fronda holding an imaginary remote control, Rob Garfield "sleep-riffling" and Roberto Romanello is...errm not really doing anything that I can make fun of.



Ian Cox and Billy Quang Ngo

[KarmaDope]

Ian Herbert is OUT, taken out by Danni "PocketLady" Allen. I'll let Floppy and Junglecat do their thing...

[JungleCat03]

Thanks Sharplea.

Yes Ian Herbert has bitten the dust. After limping UTG, Danni Allen raised to 700 from the BB which Ian called.

On the KJ6 flop Danni led for 800 which Ian responded to by pushing allin.

His KQ however was no match for Danni's flopped set with JJ, which duly held sending Ian to the rail.....
