Correction:

I have misrepresented Liv Boeree; she's actually on 19.5k.

Mick Fletcher is sharing a table with Craig Owen, Luke Patten and a bunch of people I don't recognise. No massive fireworks during my time hovering, but I saw Fletcher take a pot off of Luke Patten, betting a paltry 1k on an A-x-Q-K board. Spectacular stuff.

Woody Deck has been going crazy though, massively raising Grant Mercado's 3.5k bet on the two hearts flop. Mercado folds and Woody shows 6-8 offsuit. Mercado looked like he'd been Decked.

tell mr fletcher to take it easy,
also tell Stuart Rutter come on the owls

   plz barry

Mick Fletcher is not taking it easy, and why should he with pocket Aces. Steve Littlejohn moved in on a flop holding 8-9 and was oh so dismayed to see the Pocket Rockets. The turn was a meaningless , and oh how his heart rose on the river when for a split second he didn't think Fletcher had a bigger full house than he did. An unfortunate exit. Mick Fletcher's huge now though.

Hi Barry, I've just been chatting to stuart a minute ago but not before I read this message so I haven't encouraged him to come on any wildlife yet...



He's doing ok now, after a long period where he didn't have many chips he was dealt and saw a flop 4 handed.

It came a juicy three clubs, giving Stu a flush and someone in the pot fired out 1500. Stuart flat called , seeing this as an opportunity to win a big pot and perhaps encourage others in the pot to come over the top, but they all folded...

The turn was the - "A great card for me" Stuart said, and his opponent again bet out 1500.

"I was pretty sure he had a J with either the or ...so I min raised to get more money in the pot but knowing I could get away if a club fell."

The river paired the Q, and Stuart shoved allin with hsi flush and was called by his opponent, holding , just as he predicted. That coup left Stuart on about 24k, which is roughly the same amount as his next door neighbour, Sunny Chattha.

Here is Stuart looking pensive as he checks his cards...

HI Danafish,
Posted on other thread as well,   Just wondered if you could update me on a chip count for adam clark aka Clarkatroid, and Lee Bidolph aka Boon who are both from Blackpool, I believe Adam is doing well, look out for him!! Both big online players who make plenty at it! Great updates by the way....
Cheers Jase.

Hi Jase,

Yes yes, as you can see from those great official chip counts they're both still in. I have sent my slave downstairs to get you photos and some good info hopefully.

Meanwhile everyone will be delighted to know that there has been a fight in the casino! I didn't see it but I understand that some dude went behind the bar and took a swing at the barman, and has subsequently been barred for life. Yay amazingly stupid drunk people!

All Phil could tell us was that it was really drunk Irish guy who follows the tour although doesn't often play. Oh no, thought we, it's Mike Lacey. But Junglecat has just phoned me to say it's definitely not Mike Lacey. Phil also says it took five people to wrestle the offending drunkard to the ground. Repeat, definitely not Mike Lacey.

By the way, a little chip count correction - the dude listed as table 3 seat 6, Mark Burton, was actually Phil Risley; Mark Burton was table 9 seat 3 and is still in. RIsley's actually now OUT.

Jase, my slave is rubbish and claims he couldn't find them, when he was probably spending 20 minutes telling people that some crazy lady was holding him captive and making him take photos of poker players. He will be punished.

Hopefully your boys are still in, i'll have another look now.

Chris Sokrati looks to have around 14k or so, possibly slightly more as I think I saw him quietly sweeping up a pot just as I walked away from his area...



Rudders is sitting on 12k at the moment.

"Have you played a hand yet?" I cheekily enquire.

"As you know Rod, the best part of my game is my laydowns. I had Q-Q earlier (on 150 300) and a loose player raised under the gun to 1400. I flat called and everyone else got out of the way.

On the flop of , he pushed allin for 30k. I thought about it for ages and passed. He showed K-K!"

"Bad pass", I tell him. "I wouldn't have got away from that one"

"That's why I'm sat here and you're up there" he countered cheekily. I'm not in the habit of handing slaps out when mates are in the middle of tournaments, but when you read this back later Rudders, just remember you're on borrowed time....

...Don't anger the cat!

 Click to see full-size image.




Ian Fraser is out, a victim of Robert "Call me Bob" Coombes.

Jon Raab informed me that Robert ( a really nice guy apparently) qualified for the event in a $2.50 comp on blue square, in which there were 25$ rebuys and addons but he didn't take one. If he manages to cash in this, that will be a phenomenal return on his investment of just over a pound!



Additionally, there has been talk of violence downstairs...apparently an upset punter was being refused service by the bar.

Not happy at this treatment, he walked behind the bar and attempted to land one on the barman, before security became involved with the inevitable result that the drunken trouble maker was dragged out of the casino, manacled and shackled.

We were told this story in the press room so I went downstairs to get more information on this development but every potential avenue of information I explored appeared blocked off.

"Did you see what happened?" I asked a member of staff..

"Nope, didn't see anything."

"What's all this about a fight I hear" I asked another.

"Fight? Don't know anything about a fight?"

Strange...It almost seems as if a Roswell-esque shroud of secrecy has been thrown over events surrounding the fight. As I prepared to probe and pry further for information, I thought I saw two security staff quietly whispering into discreetly located headphones. I could be wrong but I'm sure I lip-read them mouthing "code-red."

I broke off any further inquiries, slightly fearful that I would be removed to a quiet room in the back where two large individuals would take turns using my head as a football.

The truth is out there, and when I grow a pair, I'll go find out what it is...



Chaz Chattha who I have referred to several times as Sunny(my apologies Chaz)...has roughly 20k and Stu a little more than that in 23k or so...

Jase -

I found them! I found Adam Clark very quickly, and then spent AGES asking everyone whose numbers I couldn't see if they were Lee Biddulph. I went around the room twice before I realised that he was sitting next to Adam Clark. Anyway, Adam's on around 30k and Lee's on around 15k.

T Wong took out Glynn Rees just now, for Wong v Rees' preflop.

Board - ("ooooh!" goes everyone, but the flush doesn't come) three clubs.

I am typing this very quickly because Junglecat has further things to say re Mr Wong....

Double up for Robert Coombes courtesy of our old friend Butters. There is a brief raising war preflop, which results in Coombes flipping over . Some muscles in Butters' face briefly stop functioning when he sees what he's up against, and he turns over .

Board - an absolutely indifferent Two Clubs three diamonds two spades, and though Butters can be a slippery customer, Coombes has landed face-up.

I caught Rudders at the bar drowning his sorrows with shots of some sort of blackcurrant vodka.

"I'm out as you may have guessed" he told me.

Apparently Dubai has been a raising machine on his table, at one point raising close to 20 hands in a row!

"As you can imagine this has made things difficult for me so when I found AJ on the button with 12 BBs, I decided to commit with it and shoved allin..." Sadly the SB woke up with A-K and Rudders failed to outdraw, meaning we lose one more fierce competitor from the race to be the Brighton GUKPT champion.



News of a rather sick hand.

On 400 800, Clive Layton made a large raise to 3,700 from the cutoff, resulting in T Wong, holding a healthy 30k or so stack announcing "ALLIN."

Clive took about 10 seconds before making what was close to an insta-call for his remaining stack of 15-20k...

There was a bit of banter from the rail..."Two giant hands here!", "Massive pot!" and Wong turned over K-K, half proving this...until Layton turned over the incredible hand of.... ?Huh?

An extremely "brave" call, "brave" obviously being used in a similar sense to describing a man throwing himself under a bus as "brave".

 
The flop arrived and Wong made a set with the first card as it popped out K-9-3.

However, Clive was not yet dead, needing a T to complete his gutshot and as live poker is rigged, the turn was indeed a knife in the heart for Wong as a T popped out.

You could hear the hush as all eyes watched to see if the river would pair...sweat beaded up on Wong's brow as he prayed for a K,9,T or 3 to save his stack...

But in true anticlimatic fashion a limp Two Clubs fell, eliciting a bellow of  "******* ****" (you can guess the blanks) from Wong, which he immediately apologised for. A 45-50k pot headed toward Clive Layton. VWP sir...
