Gala Poker Tour Grand Final : Day 2 - Interactive

[JungleCat03]

does channing have many chips

I think in the region of 40k. Floppy is currently collecting more accurate chips counts though so expect this to be superceded shortly.

I just saw him raising to 4.5k or so from the button, and he was re-raised another 11k or so by Andrew Feldman from the big blind before passing...

Can you wish Jim Tierney and Mark McGill good luck from me. G'wan the Bristol Massive

Hope to be down tomorrow to watch the final, if there is any Bristol interest remaining (pretty sure there will be!).

[NoflopsHomer]

Ash Abdullah has doubled through Andrew Feldman with against . An ace on the flop quashing any hope.

Roland raises to 9k utg, Marcus Farthing moves all-in for about 21,900 more. Eventually Roland calls.

"You've probably got me," say Marcus showing . Roland shows .

Flop:



"ooooh..."

Turn:



"Wow, that's so sick," says Antonio.

(If you don't want to know the result, look away now...)



River:

!

[Bongo]

Do you know if that is Ash from Notts, Floppy?

Peter Cockayne just moved allin for 17,600. With the blinds at 1500 3000, this was not that big a raise and a trivially easy call for Andrew Mitson to make in the big blind with J-J.

Indeed he was dominating Cockayne's 3-3.

A flop of drew a gasp from the crowd that had gathered round and gave Cockayne 8 more outs.

The turn completed the outdraw, and there was no split-inducing 3 or 8 on the river meaning Cocakyne doubles up to 37k or so, whilst Andrew Mitson had lost half of his 40k stack...

[NoflopsHomer]

Roland continues to be in all the action, he just re-raised Omar's preflop raises with Sevens only for Mark McGill to wake up with Queens in the blinds. Roland's stack has been halved, but that hasn't stopped him from continually raising, stealing Joe Beever's big blind but then passing on Jonothon Butter's big blind when Butters moved in.

Phil Laak is once again drawing a crowd in the cash game, he seems completely bewitched by the chocolate bar shaped £100 tokens, he says he feels like James Bond in Casino Royale.

[JungleCat03]

Antonio was jsut involved in another pot with Jennifer Tilley.

There was an early position limper for 3k before Jennifer too limped for 3k, the small blind of Jitesh Thakker completed and Antonio checked.

The flop came .

Checks all round.

TURN:

Antonio bet out 6k and was called by Jennifer Tilley.

RIVER:

Antonio thought a while and bet out 9k silently pushing his chips over the line.
Jennifer counted the chips out, riffling them up and down interminably with her diamond-bedecked fingers before ultimately calling, no doubt not wanting to bluffed off yet ANOTHER pot by Antonio.

Antonio turned over T-6 for trips whilst Jennifer gave no clue to her hand as she mucked pretty quickly. Antonio is certainly not taking it easy on his friend's better half today, bluffing her off when he's behind and getting her to call when he's ahead.

NO MERCY!

[NoflopsHomer]

Jennifer Tilly has a lot of chips. Sadly for her they're mostly of the 100 and 500 demominations... She just saw her 9k raise in midposition re-raised by Paul Gardner, who showed the when she passed.



Elsewhere, Neil Channing made what looked like a pure thievery bet on the turn of a board in a three-way pot against Bambos and Andrew Feldman, however the 8.5k bet was enough to get his opponents to fold.

[NoflopsHomer]

Do you know if that is Ash from Notts, Floppy?

I think so, I've put a picture of him just above.

[NoflopsHomer]

The rest of yous' have all gone very quiet...



Who is going to win? Who are you supporting? Come on, let us know!!!

[JungleCat03]

Bambos' table has seen some action in the last few hands.

Mark Stuart raised from the hijack and was met with a reraise by Ash Abdullah. Everyone else folded to Mark who also folded, showing the table A-2 whilst Ash showed the mighty A-A. "It's all I play!" he told his tablemates.

The next hand, the shortstacked Andrew Feldman pushed allin on the button for what looked like 15k or so. Jim Tierney called instantly, as you would with .

Andrew tabled .

The flop and turn gave Andrew a longshot gutshot.....BUT the river bricked out in the form of the meaning Andrew Feldman is OUT!

The quiet, reserved but increasingly dangerously stacked Jim Tierney added yet more chips to the towers he is amassing and we find ourselves down to 22 players...

[Bongo]

Do you know if that is Ash from Notts, Floppy?

I think so, I've put a picture of him just above.

That's him - brings back memories of my first live tournament, I ventured into Gala Notts and was sat next to him.

They only had 2-3 tables back in those days too!

[Dacey]

Seeing as I've got a bit of his action I'm well and truly behind Mark 'Shafty' Stuart!

[Reggie]

go on Ash bring it home to Notts. Wish him luck from Big John.
