Broadway Festival of Poker: Day 1 - Interactive

[Chili]

Hello hello hello  I am she, he is she, she is me:

ie live from the Broadway, Birmingham we have just this second shuffled up and dealt....Uncanny that it coninsided with the moment I managed to get online with a great deal of help from a handy I.T dude.  Snoops is still trying to get online and hopefully should with us shortly, I'll be back momentarily with some tourny information.  Looking forward to this one chaps and chappettes.

Does the Mystery Updater have a beard?

No, just a moustache. I have a beard though, although a very fluffy unmanly one.

Hi all, I am indeed alive, but my computer isn't I'm afraid, the Broadway's 100 year old router taking a particular dislike to the Mac brand. And on that note, I believe I hear the distant cheer of the dozens of Mac haters blowing up the party baloons and etching 1-0 on the scoresheet.

However, we are at least posting, the lovely IT guy being called up last minute to spark Maria's rusty laptop into action. Also jumping into life is the Broadway, today's £1,000 Main Event now up and running with Level 1 being that dear old friend, Mr 25/50.

Armed with our brand spanking new camera and our trusted notepad and pens, we hope to bring you some hot level 1 action in the very near future, so watch this space! Word on the Chili vine is that we already have an exit...

N Blatchey is indeed here, not much change in his chips, but just keeping his head above water would be an achievement, his fellow tablemates being an eclectic, but highly challenging mix of players:

Ceaser Giagnotti
Mohammed Hassan
Steve Jelinek

Stuart Rutter
Jen Mason
Frankie Knight
Michelle Shiels

There has been an exit and double up already,  An unfortunate Panos Panayi raised it up with  and was called by Matt Tylers  .  I didn't see the hand board itself but am informed that Panos turned a nut flush draw, whilst Matt was going nowhere with trip queens.  I assume all the chips went in then and there and Matts trips improved to a house on the river.   Great stack already for Mr Tyler.

Panos just a few minutes later said to Snoops "I had a massive hand and I couldn't get away from it!"  A few of us may have had to have our £1,000 stretch a little longer.

Also a late arrival is a local and very happy Stuart Fox, joining a table with Alli Mallu, Ash Hussain and Barry Neville, actually named "Table large boy"  Pic to follow.

Crikey O'Reilly, we've had another exit, it's as if no one wants to play today! This time, the victim is D Ruparellia, the latest to crumble under the magnifying glass of PI Dick Slade. In full investigative mode, poker's favourite detective looked his opponent up and down like a piece of raw meat as he mulled over a 3,125 all-in on a  board. Ruparellia looked calm under the Slade spotlight, but the Prestonian wasn't convinced, calling, and correctly so, a third of his stack with . Ruparellia sheepishly revealed an inferior and one harmless river later and it was all over for Ruparellia, Slade left to bask in the glory of all the "good call" compliments from his neighbours. Watch this space for updates on the size of Slade's head.
