BlueSquare.com London GUKPT: Day 1B - Interactive

[danafish]

Here's a guy in red! John Wright, although possibly a contender for Vacant Starewatch, must surely be feeling pretty smug - he bet out the river of a T-T-8-2-T board and made gurning-man-in-blue Mark Friedman lay down his full house, accompanied by the sad sound of the phrase, "I'm laying down my full house." He shows a Deuce as he does so. Wright, raking in a bunch of chips, also shows a Deuce.

Roberto Romanello is now OUT courtesy of Mr Magazine Barry Carter.

"I raised it up under the gun," declares Barry.

"Don't forget to tell him what you were raising with," nudges a neighbour.

"Er... I raised it up with 4-3 and received three callers, one of whom was Roberto. I flopped the wheel and checked. Roberto bet, I raised him all-in and he called with A-K. I think he had about four of five thousand at the time."

As a result, Barry is now up to 15k and Roberto Romanello is left to support his fellow countrymen from the rail. "Gutted," was the only word I could prise out of him.

Ah well, got him out the house.

Dressing like children isn't really the same as possessing a youthful glow, though. I think it shows we lack a certain gravitas that we should probably be trying to aspire to...

DECKWATCH - keeping up to speed with everyone's favourite Lithuanian-American.

Here is one of those request from earlier, the forever blog spotting slick curly locks of Hugo Martin, currently on 8,350 and looking very suspicious indeed.

On the next table is this gesticulating chap (does he move his hands around often), Javed Ghazi, not showing too much yoyo-ability with a steady eddie 9,150.

Just a couples of seats along is fellow Poker Verdicter Warren Wooldridge, his stack having shot up to 16,500. He's still not smiling though!

Chip counts of some requested and non-requested but no less important players.

First off our resident current "TV celebrity" Maria is looking a tad glum as she looks to be down to 5-6k. She can turn it round I'm sure though, plenty of time...

I had a quick word with Fran "LittleMissC" Creed, who is chirpy and seemed very happy to be 100 chips above the current average. "Nothing much going on at the moment" she revealed with a smile on her face.

Stu Rutter looked a tad pensive and looks to have lost a few chips, down to 8.5 or 9k.

David Rudling is on 9.5k at the moment.

Ditto Neil Channing, his stack sitting at a "unlikely to have been involved in too many pots of note" amount of 9.5 also.

Dan Carter has a blossoming stack of grey 100 chips, indicating he has perhaps been a little busy early on, up to 11k or so at the moment.

Praz Bansi's stack hasn't fluctuated too madly in the early stages and he looks to be on around 9,250.

Jeff Kimber has opened his attempt to win back to back GUKPTs positively and is sitting on 13-14k.

Chris Moorman is grinning a little scarily, although he looks to have lost a few chips on 8.5k or so. He is sporting a bright yellow hoody today. He defended his sartorial choice to me, saying "I needed to wake myself up!"

[snoopy1239]

Sandwiched in between Nik Stylianou and Barbara Gibson is online whiz Andrew Teng, fresh(ish) off his recent trip to the Bahamas. Andrew only has 11,250 at the moment, but could be a dangerman later on.

[snoopy1239]

John Wright has taken down another small pot and is now up to 17,300.

[snoopy1239]

"I've had that four times," announces Ariston as he reveals Pocket Kings on a King high Flop. Unfortunately, he didn't get paid off this time, but he's still on a superbly healthy 22k.

[snoopy1239]

As requested, here's Dave Clark Snr, but sadly his bear arms are getting in the way of my Beagle eyes. He did raise them slightly to pick his nose at one point, and I think I saw several purple chips, so he's probably not too far off his initial starting stack.

Come on Fran and Maria  
The PokerNews guys Stu Rutter and Barry Carter come on .... one time xx

[snoopy1239]

Captured rising from his seat, Mark Harris is now OUT. The only guy who could give a monkeys was assassin Lalit Khajuria, his stack receiving a nice reward as his all-in pre-flop outdrew Harris' on a board.
