Any chance of some chip counts?

Seat 8: Robert Cowen

I'm afraid we didn' t really get much of a chance to speak to young Robert Cowen before he busted, but from what we understand he is a local player, with a unique and aggressive style at the table. His aggression is tempered by caution occasionally, however, via the medium of a piece of paper urging him to STOP AND THINK. WP, Robert.

There is a diffrence to being local and actually living in the cardroom! When are you moving into your car by the way?

Being a local myself i heard many ppl say this but didnt recognise him or even his name! sat with him in the dealers choice cash game last night and got talking to him and found out he isnt a local. he is from stratford-upon-avon but currently studying psychology in Swansea... hope this helps

Doesnt get more local than that does it! oh and in the car from the 28th on wards! how was last night?

Nik on the small blind moves all in for his dwindling maybe-100k stack against Julian's big blind. Julian folds. "He said call!" protests Nick, which is a lie. "In your mind," says the commentatey announcey guy whose name I have forgotten - you know, Mr "'Ere Coom Them Caaards".

Very rough chip counts:

Marcus B-J (tee hee!) - 140k
Julian - 350k
Nik - 100k
Jim Reid - 700k
Joe Grech - 400k
Karim - 550k
Michael Bolger - 350k

Dana here, posting Final Tableside (those were my chipcounts too; now Junglecat owes me a pun):

Obviously, the second I post chip counts they're just all wrong.

Jim Reid found himself betting 60k preflop. Marcus B-J finds himself moving all in for that probably-around-140k.

Jim now finds himself squirming with a big decision to make. "Maybe I should fold I'm hoping I'm racing, you see." He calls anyway.

B-J -

Reid -  domination

Board - now 'ere cooms that caaaard

So it may be hard for B-J to swallow but he's OUT (Junglecat, all debts are paid!) ie. Marcus Bebb-Jones finished in 7th place, winning £11,200. WP, sir.

Photos to follow as soon as uploaded...

B-J hard to swallow?

Michael has been getting busy with mixed success. Calling a riase from Jim Reid of 36k, he found Joe Grech (whose bright red shirt is quite a marvel to behold) re-raising behind to 130k. joe's squeeze proved successful as both Jim and Michael passed...


Michael was in no mood to slow down though and raised the next hand to 42k. Karim now woke up and re-raised him to 100k. Michael chewed his gum pensively before passing showing an Ace. Karim flipped an attractive pair of ladies over and augmented his stack. Karim is slowly rising to the top...


Joe Grech raises it up on Karim's big blind to 36k but finds Michael pushing his dwindling stack allin behind. Joe starts to think....

"Call, if you want to come from behind" suggests Michael, which arouses the interest of Flushy, who is watching from the rail.

"Just want to make you sweat a bit " laughs Joe before passing


Nik Persuad jsut played a big pot. Limping from the small blind on Julian's BB, Julian checked.

The flop came . Nik checked to Julian who bet 25k...Nik now check raised ALLIN for his remaining just-over-100k stack.

Julian quickly called, showing J-2 for a flopped two pair. Nik wasn't dead though, holding for an open ended straight draw.

The turn was the and the river....

THE , giving Nik one pair but not enough to beat Julian's Jacks and Twos, meaning...

Nik Persaud is OUT, eliminated in 6th spot, winning £14,000.

Chip counts at the break (not rough, we got them off Jon Raab):

karim 830k
bolger 265k
thew 536k
grech 505k
reid 760k

I mis-reported Nik's exit hand by the way.

Apparently he limped on the button with his 5-3 suited and Julian completed.

Julian checked on the flop from the small blind and the bet of 25k from from Michael was raised allin from Nik for the rest of his 90k stack, Julian now overcalled and allegedly Michael laid down top pair, and...well you know the rest.

Interesting strategy from Nik there limping on the button with his suited connectors off a shortish stack...I think the intention was to represent a big hand...

What do you guys think?

By the way, all you Guests reading the updates - why don't you take just a second to sign up to blondepoker? You'll be able to vocally support your favourite players, make reasonable or unreasonable requests of me and Junglecat (just don't anyone dare say we lack flair), and generally have a very excellent final table time of it.

And tikay will beat you up if you don't. Look at this fearsome figure of a man:

Note how in that last one, Nik Persaud is actually handing over his Free Final Tablist's iPod Nano to his girlfriend. Snoopy would never do that for me. Maybe for Dena.

How comes the final table is not being televised? Is it just for this event or all of them??

None of the GUKPT finals are televised from now on

Karim limps on the button, Joe Grech completes and Jim checks his option.

The flop comes out Ah .

Joe checks, Jim checks and Karim bets 35k...Joe calls...

TURN: .

Joe checks, Karim bets 40k, Joe calls.

RIVER:

Joe checks and Karim also checks.

Joe shows an ace with what looks like a 3 for top pair but Karim shows for trip fours and takes down the pot...

Missed value bet there?

Still Karim soldiers on and increases his chip lead yet further...

[FRIDAYS]

Oh that a shame! Maybe it will have an affect on the numbers! I hope not!
