BlueSquare.com London GUKPT: Day 1A - Interactive

[snoopy1239]

The common consensus in the pressroom is that Jeremy Longley is the current chip leader.

A small crowd forms around Table Devilfish as the Fishy One and Ian Woodley are involved in a hand with a lot of chips in the middle. I catch the hand just in time to see them not-very-interestingly check the turn and river of a board, and the crowd is already dispersing as Woodley shows  and Devilfish mucks.

He may look like Kenny Rogers, but he didn't know when to fold'em today, Jeff Rogers' A-Q losing out to A-J on a Jack high Flop and sending him packing.

Paul Cohen is OUT. He pushed his last 2k in with K-J but ran into A-9 and failed to improve. His biggest hit came when his Aces were outdone by 7-2suited. I don't know the exact details but something tells me that it wasn't pretty.

The players are currently enjoyed a much deserved break (dinner at the table, remember). Whilst we await for them to return, check out another photo of Dana and I posing in our brand spanking new hoodies courtesy of our good friends at William Hill. My modelling days with Kays Catalogue are behind me now, but I think I can still strike a pose.

Some titbits of info to keep you going till we receive the official chip counts from the end of the last level.

Nick Gibson, who came 3rd in last year's London GUKPT, is in a spot of bother at 8k, which at 300 600 75 will NOT last long. Expect a double or bust shortly...

Ian Cox is on 15 or 16k, which again is a tad below average but he's not quite in desperate territory just yet...

Josh Tyler seems to be slowing down, perhaps giving his hardworking jaw a rest. He's going well though on 22k which is above average at the mo...

Leo Kam's early work has been partially undone, although at 14k he has a short amount of time to garner the chips he needs to repeat his feat in winning the corresponding GUKPT last year.

Jen Mason has achieved her aim of getting to 20k, possibly with a little bit to spare as she looks to have just a shade over that at the moment. A good comeback after a shaky start, which seems to be Jen's general modus operandi in these GUKPTs.

She has just been re-located to Devilfish's table, who is sporting position over her and a good stack of 20k+ which she admitted to being a tad disappointed by.

This sooted and booted chap is Mr Faton Prokupla, and he was very keen indeed to inform me of his victory in Monday's £500er and, subsequently, request a photo of him good self. Being a gent, or perhaps too scared to deny him the honour, I happily obliged.

So, here he is... well done this man, 17k to the good.

I believe Junglecat reported earlier that Mickey was OUT.
Julian Thew has around 16k.

In other news, it would appear as though Ben Vinson and Manuel Palanca are both out (ie. playing the cash games), as is Mark Harris, although I'm uncertain as to whather he was even in the Main Event in the first place.

[snoopy1239]

Marius Arnesen is OUT, James Keys the assassin. Ac-Ah vs. Kc-J, Jh-2d-2c-9h-Tc board.

Last thing anyone wrote was that Mickey had about 18k...be crap if he's out, £10 down the drain.

Good news and bad news.

The bad news is Micky IS out I'm afraid.

The good news is the drain is £10 richer! Go the drain! I mean unlucky Adam
