BLACKPOOL MAIN EVENT - DAY TWO LIVE UPDATE

[tikay]

Report on the Heads-Up Massacre? - dont you worry about that, it WILL be done. But a bit busy today, so look out for it tomorrow. Hehe.....

[tikay]

Commencement of play was slightly delayed to allow one latecomer - Robert Binelli - to arrive. But he's still not here, so play has commenced.

I have tried ringing Robert, no joy. Anyone know how we can get hold of him, or where he is staying?

[Karabiner]

Glad to see that you survived the big dipper.

Now honestly, was it fun ?

 

[tikay]

And we have our first casualty of the day, Riverdave Penly, who has been busted by Rob Yong. Mind you, Mr Penly only had 1,500 chips, having had his stack decimated by Carlo's Citrone brave call just before close of play last night with 7-7.

So, Dave Penly OUT, & 23 left.

[tikay]

And now Julian has lost a huge pot to Cemal Alp. Thewy had JJ, Jimmy had AQ, & two Aces on the flop did the job for Cemal.That doubles Jimmy up to nearly 100k, & knocks Julian back to, at a guess, 100k.

[tikay]

Very next hand, Carlo Citrone & Rob Yong clashed big time, Carlo all-in with A-J, but seriously dominated by Rob Yong's AK. Almost inevitably, the J fell to push Carlo way above 100k, & knock Rob Yong back to about 60k.

Any idea what the starting chips are for 2nites 50 pot limit comp ?

[tikay]

It's bedlam here, another whopper, this time it's a three handed jobbie.

Julian Thew has 9-9, Douglas Dickson has AK & Iwan Jones has KK. Board helps nobody, & Iwan trebles through. Dickson is OUT though, & Julian has taken his 2nd big beat of the day.

[andy p]

Its okay I found the info thx anyway

Sunday 8th May 50 Pot Limit Hold 'Em

2000 Points 30 minute clock. Starting blinds 25/50

[tikay]

Wow, and another HUGE shock - Julian Thew is OUT! He had JJ again in a 3 way jobbie involving Iwan Jones & Cemal Alp. Iwan eventually passed, but Cemal was pot committed & called all-in with A-2. You can guess the very first card, & Julian Thew is OUT!

Play has been on for about 20 minutes, & Thewy, who was 2nd chip overnight, took 4 beats, all with proper hands, & is down the road.

The poor lad looks gutted, you gotta feel for him.

[tikay]

It's going bananas here, we've just had yet another huge confrontation.

Carlo Citrone & Rob Yong clashed for the second time today, Carlo with QQ, & Rob with AK. The Queens held sway, & Rob Yong is OUT.

So two of the overnight deep stacks, both Notts Boys, are toast. Incredible. We have been playing for 29 minutes.

Rob, like Julian, is gutted, he looks like he dont know what day it is.

We better get some chip counts, the comp has turned upside down in the space of 30 minutes.

[Gamblor21]

very unlucky julian wish him my best!

John lau is a Gala Teesside man not Stanleys... and resides in the best cash game in the country, normally winning all the money.

He's been off comps lately glad to see him back, did'nt think he'd like latif out shining him

At iT

[tikay]

Carlo Citrone 185k.

Cemal Alp 170k

Lawrence Gosney 180k

Achilles Kalakkas 38k

Keith The Camel Hawkins 100k.

Everyone is in the money now.

[tikay]

John CT Law has about 180k.

Thanks to At It for correcting me, I thought CT was a Stanleys man.

[tikay]

And to complete the misery of the Notts Boys, Nik Whiten has busted out now, A-9 v slow played AK held by Lawrence Gosney

So the high hopes of the Notts trio have gone up in smoke. The 3 of them have set off for home in Rob's car, that's gonna be some miserable drive south.

Lovely lads, all 3 of them, & I ache for them, but it's a tough game.
