Another close call in a GUKPT event, it won't be long before Jen is sat there on the final table in my opinion.

GOGOGOGO JEN - you're still a legend!!!

 

If she's not too sad, could you congratulate her for me ? 17th of 424 players, not too bad...

His range has to be Aces and only Aces for it to be a bad call surely?

it's true that the 3rd raise often means KK or AA, but did she have a stack who allowed her to fold AK  ??

[AlexMartin]

Well played Jen, VUL getting a bit of a sick cooler at a crucial moment. And no she can never pass AK there i dont think.

[rag2gar]

Unlucky Jen, it's only a matter of time before you win one of these. You keep proving you are one of the top players around.

Not for 8BB's no.

QQ and AK are much more likely than KK or AA tbh.

what the latest news on lil chillibobs?

In what was a dramatic loop the loop of emotions on the poker rollercoaster, we have lost Anthony Chapman courtesy of a jubilant Dan Samson. Anthony Chapman was at it to be fair, his shortstack push with being called quicker than a hiccup by Dan Samson and his . The board, however, had more drama than an episode of Eastenders, the Flop being followed by a and a Turn and River. Dan's understandable profanity (not sure I can type fuck on here) and frustration on the Flop transformed into "Yes!" and sheer elation on the Turn in the space of a few seconds to show just how much of white knuckle ride this poker lark can be.

Can you wish dan samson & maria good luck please.

When I joined Jen at the cashier in a potentially futile effort to consolidate her, she seemed adamant that she made a bad call. "I had bad cards all the way through," she said, "and made just one mistake."

When I asked her what she thought his range was, she replied, "Aces, Kings, Queens, Jacks or Ace-King, definitely not Tens or A-Q."

If she did make a mistake, then I would say it wasn't a monumental one in the grand scheme of things. I've certainly seen a hell of a lot worse and I can imagine a lot of pro's would actually follow suit in Jen's position and make the call. I'm not even sure she did make a mistake at all, but then again I suck at poker.   

She did marvelously in my book and surely braced for a big win in the very near future. Imagine if she'd actually been dealt some hands.

Personally I think Jen's situation this deep in the tourney is a cooler

I'm sure that we could make a very long debate about some calls... you know that you are beaten, but you are short stack too... what to do here...

GO Jen !!! it's a nice result to celebrate your new sponsor...

It's always very easy to comment from the sidelines too. Unless you're at the table, you don't know the history of certain confrontations, who's been making moves, etc.

I never have said that she made an error... I don't understand why you posted that... I only said that IMO, some people will say to CALL others to FOLD here and that it would be a big discussion about that...

maybe what I wrote could have many ways to be understand... if so, I promisse that I never wanted to reprimand her here... who I am to do that

Play has now finished, with 14 players remaining.

One player who will be having a hard, and probably short, time of it tomorrow is Davood Mehrmand.

Tony Phillips raises preflop and Ketul Nathwani moves all in. In an unexpected sort of way, Davood moves in too, and Tony gets out of the way.

Davood -
Ketul -

Board - (at which point Davood properly bellows "TENNNNS!!!"

And he is absolutely crippled, down to just 55k with the blinds at 6k/12k tomorrow. Must be the thought of that, did that to his hair...

He will for no reason have the head of Marius Hogtun!

Dana has some insights from the final few hands, but after a day packed with intrigue and excitement we are close to ready to wrapping things up.

Well done to Jen for running so deep, and superb stuff from Maria, who returns very well placed in 3rd spot and a big threat to take down this leg of the GUKPT.

I'll leave it to Dana to bring you the last few details but from me, thanks for following, I'll see all of you (no exceptions) back here tomorrow for the exciting climax to the tournament.

For now though
