yep, solid n regular,  enough information?

Goooooooooooooo Pab's large intestine!!!!!!!

I'm afraid this has turned out to be a (g)astronomical-sized bokk on our parts as Pab is OUT. He raised from UTG and was called  by the button (who had, the previous hand, been forced to showdown 10 high). The flop came out and the other player bet out 1200, Pab had him covered by a little and decided the other player was steaming from the previous hand, Pab set him and was instantly called by Aces. A heart on the turn gave Pab hope, but the river was a blank. Pab then threw out his last thousand or so in with 9-8o, this time against the small blind, only to find he was dominated by Q-8. No help, and I'm guessing it's another 30 hour trip back to Oz for Mr Foltyn.

Can you say hi to James Honeybone from me please, and a pic please if poss.

Great updates as usual, thank you

Can you say hello to Lars Wiekenberg for me please?  I don't know him, I just plucked his name off the player list, but his reaction might be funny.  I'm one of those of those people who can often be  found flashing his lights at strangers to see if they wave back, it's a hobby.

Anyone else do that?  Anyone?   

[WarBwastard]

Anyone?

When people flash their lights at me I assume one of my headlights is out, again.

Cold.
Yes.
Because they are rubbish. Mike Lacey is here, but he doesn't count as a player. (That's because he's reporting for Pokernews, not because he's rubbish or something... )

Weird overbet/call combo of the day:

The gent pictured here is raking in the chips of a player whom the seating plan has as Magnus Petersson but I don't really know.  That's not the focus of this story though, it's the fact that OutMatey raised preflop to 700 (the blinds are 150/300), only to find the button, this guy, moving all in for 8,075.  Back to OutMatey who went into the deepest tank I've seen so far today, eventually getting the clock called on him.  With a few seconds left to go, he eventually, suddenly, whacked his whole 7k stack in.  Which we weren't expecting.  He showed ...
... Pictured gent showed .

Flop...
Turn... (some misguided supporter was asking for a Queen for the all in player...)
River: 

So down one.  This is on Table Thew, by the way. The table on which he's cemented his Climber of the Day position.

Good ol' Pocket Fives

The correct way of assessing Mike's ability is to ask him if he's drunk or sober.

Oh, pedestrians I meant. I live in the country though where's there's only three or four of them.  This sort of thing is harder for city folk.  Er..anyway.

Julian Thew raises to 900 in mid-position, Multiple EPT casher and twice finalist, Patric Martensson moves in for 6,500 next to him and it's passed back to Thewy who makes the call.

Martensson:

Thewy:

Board:

, but before you can say, "LOL Thewyments", is the turn card. A flush draw you know just won't materialise disappears when the river is the .

I think it's close to a dead heat between Julian and Michael Johnson for races won.

Threeway All-In Action!!

And the beneficiary: Stewart Chantler, LHS neighbour of Woody Deck (also featured), in the red stripey shirt looking oddly disinterested as he doubles-up-and-then-some.

What appears to have happened:  Woody raises preflop, Stewart re-raises, a third gent calls all-in, back to Woody who pushes all-in (he covered both players), insta-called by Stewart.

Stewart: 
Woody: 
All-in shortMatey: 

The board came Ten high with no semiflush excitement so Mr. Deck back to 13k and down one more player.

For a man past the 40 mark, Julian sure does run well.

Hi guys.

Put an eye on spaniards.

Specially on the Great Juan Maceiras aka "vietcong01" on PS.


Thx.

Which one implies he's playing well?
