people.
The tournament is bubbling up nicely as we await the start of Day 2.
Lots of great players remain. Jen and Maria's table looks very exciting with the devilfish in tow. Feathers aplenty will be rustled there I suspect!
Julian
Thew
has negotiated his way through to the latter stages once more and if he can get a few chips going, will clearly be a threat for the title. Ditto
Jim
Reid
, who is following up on his final table appearance in Brighton and who also has the game to run deep and possibly taste victory.
Former 2007 Walsall GUKPT winner
Jerome
Bradpiece
strolled laconically through the day yesterday but accelerated through the last few levels in imperious fashion to find himself returning today as the clear chip leader. Whether he can equal
Julian
Thew
's impressive feat of winning 2 GUKPT titles remains to be seen.
Last year's winner
Leo
Kam
is still in there, although with a 20k stack, he will need to
fairly quickly. Many other seasoned campaigners remain including maltese
Joe
Grech
, who also finalled in Brighton, the laid back
Willie
Tann
, and hendon mobster Barney Boatman.
The opening action is traditionally quite hectic, so I'm off to join Snoopy and Dana to catch all the thrills and spills of the start.

Barney Boatman raises it up to 3.2k from early position, only to find Steve Jelinek moving allin behind him for what looked to be 22-25k.
No drama here though as Barney folded pretty quickly and Steve showed a pair of Queens.
"Eights" said Barney. "You overplayed them" Steve told him as they rib each other have a laugh.
Just for your delectation, here are the likely final table payouts...
1) £119,780
2) £69,960
3) £50,880
4) £33,920
5) £26,000
6) £20,140
7) £15,900
£12,720
9) £9,540
10) £6,360

Jen is taking no nonsense from the Fish. Mr Ulliott bets out 3k on a
flop. Preflop limper John Burberry gets out of the way, and Jen raises to 8k. Devilfish folds with the minimum of fuss, claiming, "I got a Seven, guess that's no good..."

He doesn't look too happy about it, but Darren Pearce was the recipient of an early double up, his A-7 surviving against A-6 when a 7 hit the Flop.
----------
Now I don't possess the supreme bokking powers of booder, but I'm still capable, my bok of level one exit John Eames surefire proof of that. His assassin was Scandinavian Christoffer Nilsen, the Pocket Cowboys landing in his lap at just the right time and effortlessly seeing of the inferior A-T of Eames to leave the youngster heading dejectedly to the rail.
----------
As the action folds round to the Devilfish in the small blind, the all-singing all-guitar playing all-woman-wooing Hullian made it up 2,200 before being looked up by Dave Rudling in the big. On the
Flop, the Devilfish check-called 3,200 before check calling, once again, 7,600 on the
Turn. An
on the River triggered a 12k bet from Devilfish, which led to a swift all-in from Dave Rudling for 20,200 more. Devilfish didn't look particularly happy about it, but called nonetheless, announcing "I have a Jack" in the process whilst quietly praying that his opponent hadn't hit the nuts. However, as you can see from the amusing expression on the 'Fish's face, Rudling did indeed have the nuts, his
for the Flopped straight leaving the Devilfish with not only 20k in chips, but also a face like a firmly smacked bottom, and understandably so. "I had Q-J," revealed a disgruntled Devilfish.

I'm afraid Nick Gibson is OUT. The hand that made the biggest dent was an unfortunate Nines versus Aces encounter with Nik Stylianou, the 2-K-8-2-3 rainbow board offering no help.
---------
As correctly predicted by Mystic Chili (I think I had a vindaloo called that once), the Devilfish is now OUT, his push with an open ended straight draw being called by Ace high to leave the former WPT winner rocking and rolling towards the door.
---------
We've more departures than Waterloo here today, the latest Level 1 casualty being the slick Mark Segal, his K-Q receiving no divine assistance against Joe Grech's A-Q.

The Thewster is down to just 13k or so, what with the blinds and I believe he may have raised once or similar...

Shortly before the departure of Devilfish (table now re-christened Table Jen, seeing as Chili has been moved to Table 9; otherwise I would obviously have re-christened it Table Hot Blonde Girl-On-Girl Action), a double-up for John Burberry. I think what may have happened (missed the very earliest part of the hand) is that Ashley Gorman raised and then Burberry re-raised, leaving himself around 13.5k behind. Gorman re-raised all in to cover him, and after a surprising amount of dwellage, Burberry called.
John Burberry -
Ashley Gorman - As
Board -
Gorman is down to just 13k or so.

Big Joe Grech has eliminated the shortstacked Mark Segal. Joe's hoding of T-T was crushing the A-5 of Mark and a Q-6-T-Q-5 flop only further cemented the dominance of Joe's hand, sending Mark off to the rail.
Joe has seen it all in poker and quietly swept the chips neatly into his stack.
Many people would slow down after winning a pot, but Joe was straight back on the attack, raising it up to 3.2k before the stripily shirted Niall Charlton pushed for 20k or so.
Joe began a muttered monologue to himself at this point.
"Big raise, big raise, hmmm. What have you got? You're very quiet. Do you think I'm ahead?"
"Depends what you've got" was the terse reply from the statue-esque Charlton.
"I'll give you a break....just this once though! Everyone deserves ONE break" ....Joe passed flipping the
but his chat was obviously intended to warn people off from re-stealing off him.

I didn't catch the hand, but Sebastain Saffari has been spotted on the rail, retelling a hand to someone on his mobile, and donning the disappointed expression of someone who had just been eliminated. I'm no Hercule Poiroit, but I'd say he's OUT.
--------
As Koroush Nikkhahe pushes in from early position with Pocket Tens, he probably had mixed feelings when Dave Anderson moved all-in behind him. Possibly expecting to be coinflipping at best, that's exactly what happened, Anderson showing A-K for a classic 50-50 encounter. With both players poised and ready for celebration, more so the enigmatic Koroush as he rose anxiously from his seat, the dealer lay a raggy 2-5-2 onto the felt. At this point, you could sense both hearts beating fast, and whilst Koroush's mouth quivered rhythmically, probably repetitively mouthing the words "No ace or king, no ace or king no ace or king", the tension on Dave's face was just as evident. However, on the Turn, it was the latter's wishes that came true, but only temporarily so, the dramatic Ten on the River making Koroush's step towards the door an unjustified one and resulting in thee forms of celebration: a punch of the air, a "yes, thank you, yes, thank you" verbal celebration, and a firm pat on the back for the dealer.
-------
Like a quick bout of midget wrestling, two shorties (chip-wise) locked horns in Hugo Martin and next door neighbour Daren Bradick. On this occasion, it was Hugo in need of a win in order to stay in the tournament, and his survival never really looked in jeopardy as his
battled Rhodes' [Braddick's]
on a seemingly harmless
board. Unfortunately, the Two on the River resulting a split pot to leave both players with circa 15k in chips.
----------
"I don't think you're ahead," observes
Mark
Friedman
as
Brian
Johnson
all-in encounter with Piers Whyman leads to the latter revealing Kings.
"
I
don't think I'm ahead," jokes Brian as he places his inferior Pocket Fives onto the felt.
A Q-9-3-K-J board later and that was that.

Jerome Bradpiece has had a torrid time in the early stages.
I joined his table to see a large pot being mvoed away from him toward the stack of his neighbour Anthony Chapman.
The cards were swept up almost as soon as I arrived but I thought I saw
in front of Jerome and the
in front of Anthony with 3 or 4 clubs on board.
I heard Anthony mention to someone "I got a bit lucky there" suggesting he perhaps rivered a superior flush to beat Jerome...
This knocked Jerome down to 110k or so...
Next up, Leo and Jerome became involved in a pot.
The two players saw a flop of
.
Jerome checked to Kam who quickly tapped the table and checked behind.
TURN:
Jerome: CHECK
Kam: a quick bet of 8k
Jerome: CALL
RIVER:
Jerome: CHECK
Kam: 14.5k allin bet
Jerome blinks a few times before announcing he is calling.
Kam flipped over 6-6 for a set and Jerome nodded his head and mucked his hand.
Two big hits in a row have knocked Jerome back from the chip lead down to circa 75k...
Here is teh upwardly mobile Kam with his newly acquired chips.

Thomas Dunwoodie makes it 5k to go, and small blind Hugo Martin moves in for 11.5k total. Super-shortstack big blind Daren Braddick decides he's live and comes along for the ride for his remaining 7.9k (including his blind). A short argument follows regarding the main pot, the size pot, and who has and hasn't received change. Eventually Dunwoodie throws in another 10k on top of his 5k raise to cover any eventuality, and they're on their backs.
Hugo Martin -
Daren Braddick - er,
Thomas Dunwoodie -
Board - a totally decisive
Hugo Martin - OUT
Daren Braddick - OUT
Thomas Dunwoodie - says something like "yippee!" and takes possession of no fewer than two shortstacks.
