Bluesquare.com Plymouth GUKPT: Day 1B - At A Glance

[JungleCat03]

Kazi Hanis has been eliminated by none other than blondite Bev Pace.

On a T 8 6 flop the chips flew in with Kazi feeling his 66 would be good but unluckily for him Mrs. Pace held the formidable TT for top set.

Unable to spike his one out, the chips were passed to Bev, who has increased her stack to what looks like roughly 16k or so.

All hail Mrs Pace...

Ryan Fronda is amongst the chip leaders early on and being constantly mocked by Barry Neville.

"You're putting me on tilt!" as he raised to 600 UTG. (blinds 75/150). The big blind was the only caller.

Flop:



Big blind checks, Ryan bets 1,200. Big blind folds. Ryan shows .



Dan Carter is OUT. on an A-9-x all heart board, except his opponent held . Off to the wonderful world of online poker then.



John Wong bets 1,400. Hoss Parkhizar raises to 4,100. Wong moves all-in. Hoss passes.

Err..Wong move at the Wong time?

A nice little sparring match going on between John Wong and Willie Tann. Wong makes it 500 preflop (100/200), Willie Tann re-raises to 2,000 and gives it a bit of the old verbals. Wong passes, Willie shows 5-2 off.

Err.. John's timing was a bit errr...off.

The Willie Tann/John Wong match-up continues. Willie bets 500 on the flop and is called. He follows this up with a 1,600 bet on the turn. Wong thinks for a while and Willie is all smiley and chatty. Wong takes out one of earphones after a while.

"What do you want me to do?" he asks Willie.

"I want you to move all-in," is the bracelet winner's reply with a smile.

"Ok then." And quick as a flash, John pushes for 5,175 more. Willie's jokey demeanour dissipates and after a couple of minutes passes. Wong shows .

Hoss Parkhizar is OUT.

Thewy is short after bluffing a board, only for James Akenhead to call with .

[NoflopsHomer]

Chris Hooper has huge chips after N Goodall and Sid Harris both got all their chips in on a Q-5-4 flop. Goodall's A-2 and Sid's Q-9 were quite far behind Hooper's bullets and stayed that way, especially after the case Ace came on the turn.

Ian Cox just got a lucky break.

He bet 5k on the turn of a board with , only to find Mark McFarlane moving all-in for not much more with . Ian spiked the river though...

Chris Hooper added to his stack.

The board read:



Terrence Page checked, John Smith bet 1k, Chris Hooper made it 8,800. A huge double the size of the pot raise. Page dwelled and passed, Smith called for his stack with . Hooper showed for the rivered nuts.

I speak to Chris Sokrati, aka Soxy, who seems chilled out and is sitting fine on 20k at the moment, with the average at roughly 15k.




For some reason he looked slightly more perturbed in this picture but take my word for it, he's very relaxed...

Meanwhile, on the same table the wheels fall off for Marc Coupe(boom boom), who gets his 5 or 6k stack in preflop against a man in middle position who I believe is Ewan Hardie...

Coupe tables QQ, Hardie has the dominating KK and a TJ x A x flop is no help, so he departs the table...

[NoflopsHomer]

Willie Tann is OUT.

John Wong raised to 900 utg, Willie made it 3,000 from the button.



Wong called.

Flop:



John checked, Willie bet 3,000. John called.

Turn:



John checked, Willie moved all-in. John insta-called.

John:



Willie:



River:




Cue a multitude of "It's all gone Wong for Willie" type quotes from the press room...

Julian has doubled through Alan Mclean.

With 6-3.

Against T-T.

AFTER, the board read T-3-3.

Yup Julian hit quads on the turn after both slowplayed the flop and got the rest of his double up on the river.

[JungleCat03]

Bev Pace has doubled up courtesy of KK. After pushing preflop, she found a caller in Mick Jones who had the rather tasty AA.

The board blanked out up to the turn, and Bev was looking like she might be joining the massed throng on the rail, but a river K saved her bacon and she turned the cooler into moolah...

Mick Jones is down, both in morale and monetary terms, but not yet out.

Please note I resisted all temptation to incorporate any weak jokes about "hail"-ing cabs" and such when there was a bevy of similar puns available to me. In a similar vein I haven't submitted to the growing hoardes of folk cracking puns concerning M Wong, one of the current chip leaders, name. As we all know two wongs don't...NO I WILL BE STRONG!

[NoflopsHomer]

Brighton winner Dave Smith is OUT.

All-in on a J-T-5 flop with K-Q against Olzhas Altynbaev's pocket Tens. The turn was a Jack making the river incidental.

Billy Ngo pushes all-in on a board forcing Ewan Hardie to fold.
