Bluesq.com GUKPT Walsall: Day 1A - At A Glance

[NoflopsHomer]

Any chip counts yet after the latest break??   Just wondering how the blackpool possy "CLARKATROID" aka Adam Clark is doing???     Good work as always chaps, keep it up!!

Jon Raab has decided that there's no point in doing full chip counts until the 4th level because of the numbers left and how long it takes. Therefore, early on, if you want specific chip counts, please ask us for them.

Ben Reynolds is OUT.

Ian Woodley has gone, Queens vs Ky Hutchinson's Aces AIPF.

Nick Slade has doubled up again with vs on a board. The turn gave him a huge number of extra outs, and the duly arrived.

I just watched the demise of Ali Mallu.

In a family pot Ali, in late position, bet 750 about the size of the pot. The flop was 3 hearts and ace high. He got one caller in Ali Zihni.

The turn was and it's checked to Mallu on the button, who bets 1900.

Zihni decides enough is enough by shoving a big stack of chips into the pot.

Mallu responds with an emphatic all in and Zihni comes along for the ride.

On their backs and Mallu has for the flush, with Zihni having A7.

The river was an A to house up Zihni and send Mallu to the rail in what can only be described as a reverse malluage.

[NoflopsHomer]

Anthony Quinn is OUT. Ariston limped with Tens, Rebecca Leach raises to 500, Quinn makes it 1,600. Leach makes it 3,500 and Quinn moved in. Leach called with Queens only to find Quinn had 5-bet all-in with Aces...Queen on the flop though.

[Bongo]

News is just reaching us that Dave Smith is out, along with Paul Jackson and Steve Nash.

[NoflopsHomer]

Jeff Kimber has doubled up with Kings against Adam Wilkinson's Tens. A slightly bitter Nick Slade said he passed Jacks, despite his short stack, and would've spiked.

[Bongo]

I arrived at table 7 to see Paul Marvin betting 3.5k from the big blind - a pot sized bet - with the flop reading:
 

S Safari asked him if he'd do this everytime, and after a short dwell pushed all in. Looked like he had about 15k more to, which easily covered Marvin's stack.

After 5 minutes of thought Marvin called and tabled
 

With Sebastian showing:

Unfortunately for Marvin the river was a club and he was sent spinning to the rail!

[NoflopsHomer]

Add another 10k to Jeff Kimber's stack, he's limped with , and the flop has come 3 spades. Adam Wilkinson fired 1,500 into the 600 pot and then Lynne Beaumont has moved all-in for 8,000 not seeing that Jeff had flat-called Adam's initial bet or that he was even in the hand. Adam passed and Jeff managed to make good call with the flopped nuts, which held against the two pair of Lynne.

[NoflopsHomer]

Mad Turk has knocked out the Scrabbliciously-named Zaheer Zeb, the Mad one set him on a Q-T-8 flop, and Zeb dwelt with middle set for a good five minutes before calling only to see Turk with the very nutty J-9 which held o, as more chips are added to his stack.

Alan Vinson has doubled through Ariston on a with Jacks against . The river a blank deuce.

[NoflopsHomer]

Jim Moult just re-raised a 700 bet to 2,200 before betting 3,900 on the flop with only 2,900 back. Enough to get his opponent to pass.

James Nicholson has doubled through with A-K against Richard Teatum's Q-Q.

'Riverdave' Dave Penley looks flummoxed when Craig Tarmey check/calls his 1,100 bet on a flop before insta-shoving on the turn. Penley passes.

Consensus on the buffet from the other press is...avoid. "It's like prison food."

[Bongo]

Wandering through the tables on the look out for some action I see Dominc Kay and Maurice McCarthy looking at a flop of
 

Kay says he's got nothing, and as he's honest he's not lying. McCarthy agrees and says he'll have to try to take the pot, even though he has nothing.

He bets 600 and Kay calls because he's "Pot committed"...

Turn is and Kay checks, McCarthy bets another 600 to "charge (Kay) to hit a spade".

"I might not have a spade" quips Kay whilst looking at his cards.

"You do" says McCarthy.

"Well if I do and I hit I'll have to value bet the river"

The river is and Kay checks.

McCarthy thinks a while and checks behind.

"I thought you'd bet" says Kay and flips  , plenty enough to beat the red nines of McCarthy.

We're now on an hours dinner break!

Sloping out of the press room I saw some action at Mickey Wernick's table.

Firstly on a flop of  Jon "Skalie" Kalmar bet out 3500, into a pot of around 4500.

Mickey made it 8000 to go and was met with an all in from Skalie.

A short dwell from the legend and he passes to be shown  by skalie.


The very next hand Mark Whitley made it 1200 UTG and was met by an all in for 2900 more by Stephen Nash.

Whitley asks for a count, thinks a while and calls.

Nash 
Whitley 

The board came 

Nash doubles up.

[NoflopsHomer]

Dave Colclough just got crippled.

He practically moved all-in over the top of a 2,500 bet from K Bullock on a board. Bullock said, "Do you have a drawing hand?" And eventually called for his stack with .

Dave showed



The turn and river are blanks, doubling Bullock up.

Jeff Buffenbarger has doubled up with K-J against A-A, but I'm not sure whereabout the money went in on the Q-T-2-9-5 board.

Adam Wilkinson is OUT. All-in with against Nick Slade's on a board, the money going in on the flop.

[NoflopsHomer]

Karl Mahrenholz is OUT. QQ into AA.

[NoflopsHomer]

Jim Reid has doubled up his meagre stack courtesy of Jeff Kimber, the nines in his hand holding up versus Jeff's pair of ducks on a K-K-K-A-3 board.

Mark Forrester is OUT. Paul Ruddy's 9-9 beating his 7-7 on a 8-5-5-A-5 board.

Maurice McCarthy, who predicted that he would win this comp at 6.45pm this evening, just bet 3k on the river of a , but got Dominic Kay to fold. McCarthy shows .
