Gala Poker Tour Grand Final : Day 2 - Interactive

[NoflopsHomer]

That Neil Channing is one sick puppy. He's just been all-in preflop with against Mika Ollila's . The board came:



Conversation heard from the same table.

"I saw there was that Robert Williamson III playing the other day. Is that old Bob the local guy?"

"Nah, he's some American geezer."


Stuart Rutter has knocked out Jim Reid, they checked a 5-7-7-7-9 board to the river, where Jim bet 800, Stuart made it 2,800 with A-9 and then Jim moved in. Stuart called and Jim mucked.

Morning everyone! Mighty fine updates here, pass on my best wishes to Mr Matt Tyler now won't you, and remember to post as many photos of the lovely Ms Jennifer Tilly as you are able...

Just a quick note to spam you also in the direction of our Amsterdam Master Classics updates, right here - http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=674.new#new. Final table is due to start in about half an hour, and I'm sure I'll think of something stupid to animate in Photoshop as well.

Paul Gardner, Roland De Wolfe and Mark Mcgill have just been tangling.

After Paul raised to 1800 or so preflop, Roland reraised to 4k and Mark Mcgill behind moved all in for 14 k or so. Paul now reraised to isolate and Roland was seen shaking his head as he passed...

Their cards were revealed and Paul was well in front with Q-Q versus Mark's A-J.

After a flop though, Mark had more than doubled up as he swept in the 30+k pot and Paul's stack has been damaged by that beat.

Speaking to Alex Torrance, he told me that Mark is one of the local Bristol lads left in the competition. He described him as a very strong cash player, who likes to defend his big blind ferociously.

I just had a chat with the jovial Matt Tyler. He told me that he was bluffing in that hand with Mark Stuart earlier , on the board and fancied he could take Mark off the hand on the river. It was a risky move given he only had 6 or 7k back but he pulled it off successfully and he seems happy with the way things are going.

As I watch his table, Matt is again in the big blind. He tells the table "give me a walk one time and I promise I'll shut up" referring to the constant stream of banter he has kept going since the day started.

Joshua Tyler passes in late position "seeing as you have the same surname as me" and Mark Stuart, no doubt still smarting after getting his fingers burnt by Matt earlier also passes, giving Matt the walk he asked for.

"That's the way lads, well done"

Someone grumbles "thought you said you'd shut up Matt!"

Matt: "I'm a poker player, I'm allowed to bluff aren't I?"

Aye, I've played poker with Mark McGill for a couple of years (I'm usually trying to bluff him off full houses, or quads ). Top bloke - he even offered to swap 10%'s with me after I'd been knocked out of the tourney! (naturally I accepted turned him down). He's a strong cash player but has also done well in a lot of the local tournaments over the last couple of years. Hope he continues to do well in this one.

Stuart Rutter is OUT. no good against .

Also gone, much earlier, was Priyan De Mel, who pushed with Q-4 into Andrew Feldman's A-9.

[JungleCat03]

Joshua Tyler and Mark Stuart have just played out a big pot.

The preflop action was unseen but there was 5k or so in the pot preflop...

The flop was checked by Josh then checked by Mark.

The turn was the , checked by Josh and now Mark bet out 2.2k.

"Are you stealing it?" asked Josh "Or do you have a T?"

"I'm going to test you out" said Josh before check raising Mark's bet. Mark moved in and Josh called instantly.

Cards on their back, Josh had As for trip tens, but Mark was holding 5-5 for a full house.

The on the river was an inconsequential brick and as Mark had Joshua covered, that meant Joshua Tyler is OUT, eliminated at the hands of Mark Stuart.

Matt said he is enjoying playing his table at the moment as he feels the dynamic is perfect for him to pick up chips. He is currently sitting on 40k or so...

Chaz Chattha is OUT. Fives into Joe Beever's Aces. Didn't sound like he'd had many hands today.



Fellow mobster Barney Boatman cheekily checked the board to Jennifer Tilly, only for her to check behind him and Barny to ruefully show . Jennifer had raised his flop bet but the turn killed his action from her, most likely, medium pair.

Mikka Ollila is OUT. I think he was a little tilted after losing with his aces and his came unstuck against Aces on a Q-6-6 board.



Josh Tyler is OUT. Say goodbye to his colourful hoodie.

Andrew Feldman gets moved to the right of Ian Woodley and it's passed to him in the small blind.

"I should be raising this hand but I just can't," and Andrew passes. "What did you have?"

"T-8," says Woodley.

"You were ahead then."

"Well, damn right you shouldn't be raising there!"

"I had 8-7 suited."

"You had 8-7 suited and you didn't raise?" says Joe Beevers.

"I know he'll move in on me," replies Andrew, "I've seen him play on the telly."

"Yeah, so you know I'm a f**king idiot," laughs Woodley.

[JungleCat03]

Chip count for Antonio Estfandiari.

ROUGHLY, and this is not 100% accurate but in the region of 65k. He is amongst the chip leaders, as is fellow american, the foxy Jennifer Tilley, who looks to have 75-80k.
