BlueSquare.com London GUKPT: Day 1A - Interactive

[snoopy1239]

I join the action with the highly rated John Eames dipping into the think tank, the 15k in front of him and the 5k before Kevin Chandler making me thinking the latter has announced all-in. With the board reading , John Eames ums and ahs before finally making the call and revealing . Chandler, meanwhile, can only muster a pair of Pocket Ladies. A non-Queen River was then followed by the usual, but ultimately non-hostile "What took you so long?" remarks and a flurry of raised eyebrows. With Chandler looking rather disgruntled, neighbour Nik Persaud then joked, "If you're thinking that long with a set, I'm going to be bluffing you loads later on." He's a cheeky monkey that, one.

No, don't adjust your sets folks, this jacket really is as bright and sparkling as it appears and yes, that really is Elvis. He lives... although has adopted the pseudonym of Pol Astaniotis.

LOL Sorry but what a prat

Pointless question of the day time (well not to me). 

Have the baize's (is that the plural for baize??) always been a beige colour or is this a recent occurrence??  I was last there in December and can't recall them being of light tone....

We could probably check a few piccies in the database, but aren't the GUKPT tables normally blue. I think it's the EPT that tend to go for beige.

Especially for Tony, your buddy the awesomely-monikered Karim Vegas:



He didn't say anything funny, sorry, he just sort of said, "Oh right, thanks, ok". Most disappointing.

Update on and proxy best wishes to Marius Arnesen please.

I couldn't engage his attention whilst "trundling by"(phrase stolen from snoopy) his table but he has 9,300.

EDIT: ARGHHHH no no no. I'm so sorry. I went to get a chip count from Marius Arnsesan, sat at table 9 seat 8, but somehow managed to transpose these two numbers and pick up the count from table 8, seat 9, who is S Nikkhah or Snicker, as he has recently been nick-named (by me if you find it funny, by Dana if this is Mr Nikkhah reading)

Anyway in case you are following our peanut and caramel coated hero, he has 9,300 at the moment.


Other random counts as we approach the first break...

Ian Cox has taken a hit, and is down to roughly 8 or 8.5k.

Josh Tyler is possibly the man who releived Ian of his chips. He is in typical boisterous form, heard telling the table in no uncertain terms that he wants to be the chip leader at the end of the day. He is going well on around 13-14k at the moment.

Devilfish has been quiet so far, but this has not impinged on his ability to accumulate chips and he is up to a healthy 14k or so.

John Kabbaj looks to be in a spot of bother, having lost roughly half of his initial stack, sitting on 5k at the moment.

Custodian currently of an uncharacteristically above-average stack, Mr Mickey Wernick, wishing he had hair like mine:

I take back my guess.  I think you're right!  Unless it's Jen....
