For whoever was asking after Ariston, I can tell you right now that at the break he had 20k, not the result of a double-up but the happy result of winning a bunch of small pots. Says he, "I've got a very nice table. VERY nice."

Similarly Stuart Rutter during the break informed me that he was on 14k, an impressive feat seeing as "I've not had any hands. But it's probably better for me not to have any hands at this stage." Hysterical giggling followed.

Pictured with the Rutter is Ms Fran Creed and her breakfast beer. She is on 10,775.

He may been an oldie in the Premiership, but he's a young whipper snapper here, ex International footballer Teddy Sheringham scoring once again by drawing a seat next to Vicky Coren. He was forced to jump out of the way though on the Turn of a -Ts-6c-8d board as Vicky and Carlo Citrone clashed, and possibly mistakenly so as the Ten on the River counterfeited both Vicky's Pocket Twos and Carlo's 6-3 off. Choppety chop chop.

chip count for Chilli,Ariston and Woody Deck please. thanks.

Chili back to around 10k now...

She told me the story of her up and down day. "I was up to 13k then down to 8 back to 11ish, then i played a big pot with Dave Clarke in this hand."

There were multiple limpers on 50 100 and Chili raised to 700 with A-Q. Dave Clarke, one of the initial limpers now went allin for his shortish stack of 4.4k.

Chili thought about it and couldn't put him on a decent hand so she called him eventually and her bravery was rewarded as she had caught him with his trousers down round his ankles, holding the dominated, crushed hand of A-J.

Poker's a funny old game as they say though and three outs was enough for Dave as a turned J was good for the pot and Chili was back down to 5k which is when I snapped her looking glum. Fighter that she is she recently doubled back up though hitting a runner runner full house I think she said. She was giggling as she related this to me, perhaps suggesting some sort of outdraw or fiendish luck may have been involved.


Dan Carter is sharing the felt at Maria's table and as I sidled by him he was keen to attract my attention.

"Write this, write this!" he beseeched me, and told me exactly how this hand should be reported. Here we go...

DAN CARTER BLUFFS CHILI!!!!

(or thinks he does anyway)

Today, during the London GUKPT, professional curly haired poker player Dan Carter became embroiled in a crucial, destiny shaping pot with young poker celebrity Maria "chili pepper" Demetriou.

Having limped preflop with 2-2, along with several other players, Dan saw Maria raise from out of her big blind a large amount. All the other players disappeared faster than a big stack in the hands of Flushy and the two protagonists were left heads up.

The flop came down Q hi and Dan bet the flop, forcing a fold from Maria.

"I knew I could push her off her hand with position I just knew it! I bluffed Chili - hooray!!!" boasted Dan cheerily, only to find out later his 2-2 was actually the best hand, Maria having missed the flop completely with 6-8.


Make of that what you will...

On Table Coren/Sheringham is also Mr Carlo Citrone, very surprised:

Liam Flood has perked up from the staring of earlier and boosted his stack to around the 14k mark, courtesy of Iwan Jones' nemesis Davijay Sadarangani.

They see a flop; that flop is and Davijay checks. Liam bets 800, and after the most medium-sized of pauses, Davijay calls.

Turn - - again, Davijay check-calls, 1500 from Liam this time.

River - and now Davijay bets 2k. Liam calls quickly, and Davijay mucks before Liam even turns over his .

Dan Carter BLUFFS CHILI!!!!

It's very serious poker on the far table, Mike Panteli and Simon Eastwood using every inch of the clock to make their decisions. With Mike Panteli raising it up to 950 pre-flop, Simon Eastwood made the call and bet 1,100 on the Flop after Mike had checked. Mike shrugged his shoulders a little as if facing a tricky decision before reluctantly (or so it seemed) throwing in a call. Before the dealer had barely popped out a on the Turn, Mike was making a bet of 2k and adopting an arms on table, statuesque pose. Simon, meanwhile, counted out his chips (about several k), ummed and ahhed, scratched his head, bum and any other body part before... nope, hold, on... going back into the think tank. At this point, the other players were beginning to get restless, but, as is often the case, decided to show their impatience via huffs and puffs rather than being brave enough to demand the clock. After a good few minutes, Simon eventually made the call and, along with Mike, checked down the River. Mike, possibly trapping or perhaps simply scared by the possible flush, revealed Pocket Queens. Simon mucked instantly.

One gent not faring so well is Jeff Kimber, currently down to under 5k. I'm told he's had some dreadful luck. Attempting to appear stoical though:

Also spotted - Rob Garfield on around 8k and cheery as ever.

And ruing the impulse that made Barry Carter raise with 3-4, one sad Welshman telling his woes to Karl Mahrenholz.
