just got in after a good long drink  have you got a rough chip count please level in chips 2/1 3/1 that kind of thing if can please

Julian has roughly 1.6 million to Karim's 1.2 million.

The players jsut had a quick break hence the lull in events.



Dana has passed me a hand that occurred just before the end of break. Once again I have enlisted the help of a crack squad of code breakers to decipher her hieroglyphics...

" - ch. ch. (check check)
Karim ch. Julian 40k; call
Karim 100k julian pause, raise 140k more, Karim call...
Julian Karim "

You can probably work that out, in case you can't Julian's flopped trips were beaten by Karim's gutshot, hit on the turn.

There has been a small technical hitch with the board timer, my laptop decided to die a moment ago and the players have been on a recent break hence the small number of updates recently.

Just as an overall synopsis, I can say that the play has largely consisted of small pots, or raises preflop that haven't been called. In this war, Julian is the more aggressive player and is picking up more of the chips. He is grinding down Karim, slowly but surely, but thanks to the generous nature of the blue square structure, it will take a while before he can steal enough blinds to actually leave Karim with no more chips!!


 

The audience has dwindled somewhat due to the slow nature of the play.

In fact, Tikay just sat down. "The audience has doubled in size!" some card says. "And quadrupled in age!" pipes in flushy in a rare moment of wit...



A big pot is just being played out as a type this....details to follow....

Karim raises to 170k on the button.

Julian repops it to 470k and Karim now moves in!

620k for Julian to call and we wait with baited breath....."OK, I call!"

Cards on their backs...

Julian shows and Karim the As . It's a race folks...

The flop comes Two Diamonds.

TURN: , leaving Karim needing an A or a Q to survive.

RIVER: .......the !

Julian wins the pot and as he has Karim covered, this means...

Karim Louis is eliminated in 2nd spot, officially winning £46,200
(as per the deal earlier)

AND

Julian Thew is the CHAMPION of the Brighton GUKPT, officially winning £86,800, a seat to the GUKPT main event and the Tournament trophy!!!


Congratulations to Julian, who becomes the first player to win 2 GUKPT titles, and continues his brilliant run of late. What a star...

Ok folks, it's been a rollercoaster ride down here at Brighton. Enormous congratulations to Mr Julian "Goldenbollocks aka Thew's The Daddy aka Thewmeister aka Thew Done It Again aka Thew, Didn't Think I'd Win That Coinflip aka Thewdboy aka Soon To Be Pissed As A Thewt" Thew. Congrats also to all the finalists and many thanks to the fine fine people at Grosvenor and Bluesquare for making this an almost painless experience for we updaters. We are off to get incredibly drunk and lose our laptops playing roulette. Until next time,
