Bluesq.com GUKPT Brighton Day 1b: Interactive

[danafish]

Hi folks and welcome back to the Brighton Grosvenor as we prepare to resume for Day 1b.

The wind and rain and general inclement weather we faced yesterday has not abated, but nor has our boundless enthusiasm to cover the inevitable excitement that today's poker will surely generate.

Doing battle today is at least one former winner in the perenially behatted Dave Smith, winner of last year's Brighton GUKPT. Also present will be Chris "Sorry I can't talk im playing 16 donkaments at the moment" Moorman, who will surely be a threat to the field given his recent form.  We don't have a confirmed list of runners just yet but there will be many other poker luminaries donning poker faces and limbering up to exchange chips across the felt.

Good luck to all the players today. A full player count and seat arrangement will be disseminated as soon as we get it.

Let's get ready to rumble!

Looking forward to this.

Ok dear friends, we are all set up at the casino, we have sorted out the multiple threads that we accidentally started and then had to delete and then realise we'd done it wrong, and they have very definitely shuffled up and dealt. Wooo!

We are not starting the tourney clock until we are absolutely certain of the number of runners, but if we were to start it, it would look something like this currently:


GUKPT BRIGHTON
WITH DANAFISH AND JUNGLECAT
Entrants - like probably 150
Starting Chips - 10,000
Players Left - proabably still 150, barring accidents
Average Chips - 10,000
50:12
Level 1 - 25/50


Player list will eventually show up, we're not going to type it out again like yesterday because Mr Raab will eventually email it to us and it's so depressing when you realise you've needlessly lost an hour of your life to data entry. Any hypothetical picks for today before the player list arrives? I'm heading down there with the camera...

Hello the both of you! News so far is that WOODY DECK HAS ENTERED THE BUILDING. Also we already have an exit without actually knowing everyone who's playing yet. Junglecat has details...

[RED-DOG]

Hi di hi blonde reportaroonies. I'm back home in sunny Sharnford. Today I will mostly be kissing the wife, cuddling the dog, and reading the updates. (though not necessarily in that order).

[JungleCat03]

As I mingled amongst the throng of players, several faces caught my attention.

Scott Reilly, who finished 3rd in last years's Plymouth leg of the GUKPT, is present as is Paul Parker, who is wearing a typically colourful shirt and dapper waistcoat. (Photos to follow)

Hitsquadder Priyan De Mel was spotted as was Chris Sokrati, who is seated next to one of the stalwarts of the game and Brighton regular, Ronald DeBeaulox.

Luke Patten, Dave Smith and Ali Malllu were also spotted and the latter has been invovled in the early stages in a big coup. Although I was not present as this hand played out, allegedly Ali was holdiing Aces full versus Adrian Passfield's Jacks full and both players managed to get all their chips into the pot, meaning Adrian was one of the early casualties. A full house is probably pretty hard to fold against Ali...

Kevin O'Leary who was in scintillating form at the tail end of 2007 has also turned up to play today and will be looking to continue tapping the rich vein of form that yielded him the 2007 GUKPT heads up championship.

A full seating plan will follow shortly.
