Bluesq.com GUKPT Manchester: Day 1A - At A Glance
«

It's been so long since a GUKPT with all the EPT's, DTD's and Irish Openies in between but today we return to the fantastic fun-filled frolics that we find have become a firm fixture of the GUKPT. Last year was the famous and frenetic final between the friendly pairing of Barry Neville and El Blondie himself Dave Colclough, the latter ultimately finding a few extra gears for a favourable victory. He made another final table tonight, that of the Omaha, alongside a fair few others in a small but fun event.
So folks, let us know if there's anyone you want following and we'll do all that is feasibly possible in hunting and finding them, whether they be friends or family.
Finally, play will start at 2pm and we'll be there fighting our way through the crowds for facts for you guys.
Farewell til then!!

Ok, players have just been called to the seats, whilst I was chatting to a very sleepy Jen, whose craptacular car finally gave up on her last night and left her fretting. Meanwhile, with the Norwegian Poker Championships starting next week at DTD, a few of the Scandies have turned up here today, including Henning Granstad and Andreas Hoivold. Certainly makes the field more interesting...

I hear a cry of "All-in" and then more importantly, "Call!!"
I rush over, but the board reads
and both players show a king. Dull dull dull. Curse you flamboyant poker players for making me care!!!
Alan 'bigalhx1' Armitage was looking grumpy after an
board was added by the
river, and an unwelcome 1,600 bet into a 4,000 pot which he passed to.
James Akenhead, playing short-handed at the moment...
Last year's winner here, and seemingly index-finger-swallower, Dave Colclough with a reflective Womble.
George 'WellChief' McDonald and two guys who must be vying for least imaginative blonde name ever Chris "chrisbruce" Bruce and Rob "RobS" Sherwood

Michael "Don't call me Beppe" Greco is OUT.
He was seen leaving the poker room saying, "So f**king sick..."
Intrigued, I followed the action back to his former table where I discovered he'd raised to 500 (blinds 25/50), 12/05 who we are told is John Morris called and then bet 1,500 into the 1,000 pot on a K-9-8 board. Greco flat-called, and then again for another 2,000 on the 6 turn. Finally his opponent set him in on the 7 river, Greco called with Aces only to discover a got-there-in-the-end Q-T.
Arguments have broken in the media room whether he played the hand right. Did he raise was too much preflop, and should he have perhaps pushed or even folded the turn instead?
Morris is now (major) with chips. Note his jealous neighbour also
Deers in headlights, Jen Mason and Steve Holden.
Gurinder Purewal, he of back-to-back dtd final table fame just lost most of his stack with Tens to Aarun Bernard's Aces on an Eight-high board.

Chris Bruce pulls me aside and says, this is what we're up against, "Seat 1, (indicating George McDonald) raises to 300 with A-K, Seat 2 (Richard Simmons) flat-calls with 9-9 and then Seat 3 (who I think is Rob Ellis) decides to flat-call with Aces). The blinds come along and the Nines bet the 8-5-3 flop and the Aces raise, take it down and show, but why wouldn't you want to make a bigger pot preflop?!?"

Updates on Sam Trickett plz
He just lead out for 525 in a big multiway pot pot on a
board, but Sex Pistols look-alike Alan Kenny moved all-in for another 2,025. Everyone folded back to Sam who huffed and puffed and through away his
. Kenny showed
.
The Norwegians are suffering mixed fortunes, Askild Hansen just doubled up through Tuan Lee with
on a
board versus
, all-in on the flop. Peter Kvisthammer looks to be out while Petter Martinsen has lost a few with a bluff, he's wary of the 'Aggressive British Calling'.
Ketu Nathwani bets out 175 on a
flop, Dave Smith and Richeo call, Sunny Chattha raises to 875. Everyone folds.
Sunny shows
.
10 minute break.

Ketu Nathwani bets 525 on a
board, Dave Smith does what he does best and calls, PocketLady also calls.
Ketu checks, Dave Smith bets 700, PL folds, Ketu calls.
Ketu check folds to a 2,500 bet.
Reyaaz Mulla raises to 525 from early position, Jen re-raises to 2,000. Everyone folds to a girl.
David Mitchell (not from Peepshow sadly
) check/calls the whole way with Eights on a
board and finds himself miles ahead of Andy Bradshaw's got-there-in-the-end-but-not-quite-what-I-wanted
.
Giovanni Nervo has doubled up with
on
board against David Rudling's
. Looks like it was all on the flop.

Jen has doubled up, skillfully playing Aces perfectly by managing to have someone else pick up Kings and then be willing to get all-in preflop. Ok, a little more to it than that, Reyaaz Mulla raised to 550 from the CO, Jen made it 1,900 from the button and John Heath made it 6,700 from the small blind. Mulla passed, Jen pushed and Heath called all-in. Bricky board.
Askild Hansen is also swimming along nicely, like a child skipping in the park, he's just pushed his stack over 40,000 holding Aces against Ace King on an Ace High board.
Here he is, harnessing all his poker power into his eyebrows.
Dealer Beard of the Day!!
