Spotted

Dewi, Ariston, Danny Samson and Thewy on a table together, Ariston is winning the talking battle, but just did 3k in a hand ...

Roberto Romanelli sat next to Tony Cascarino

Alex Martin and Jeff Burke same table

Pete Linton & Crosscourt are sat together

Rob Taylor is sharing atable with Jeff "JaffaCake" Kimber

Dave Clarke Last years Luton GUKPT winner is sat on the same table as Pete Singleton

[NoflopsHomer]

On this table, we have the run-goods, (Dewi), the run-greats (Julian)...and Ariston.



Moorman has John 'Johnes147' Amis (spelling? Still waiting for a player list) 3 to his left on his table. Unconfirmed reports saying he tried to use a mouse to click and fold his cards the first time around...



Irish Open Runner-Up Donal Norton and Rob 'Deer in Headlights' Taylor.



Wick's haircut. You be the judge.

[NoflopsHomer]

Early bust-out.

Greek Jack raises to 125, Dharminder Buttar (3rd in Walsall?) re-raises to 725, then seat 1/04 (no list yet) re-re-raises to 2,225. Greek Jack folds, Buttar calls.



1/04 bets 2k, Buttar calls.



1/04 checks, Buttar bets 2k, 1/04 moves all-in Buttar calls and flips for Quads whilst 1/04 shows Kings and is drawing dead.

Steve Jelinek was pretty sure the Queens shouldn't be calling preflop which seems a reasonable assumption. Should the Kings also be able to get away post flop?



Greg 'Crosscourtbh' Howard, a woman who looks like that lady from Shameless, Ben Vinson and Pete Linton.

[NoflopsHomer]

Thewy, Dewi and Dan Sampson Louie.

[NoflopsHomer]

Henning Granstad has doubled up through Dharminder Buttar, raising his 1k flop bet to 2.3k on a flop and calling the push quickly with against the Aces of the former Walsall finalist. No Ace on board and Henning is on 16k I think.

Dean Sanders, his first GUKPT surprisingly.



Priyan De Mel and Gregior (for those who always wondered what the latter looked like). The former has just lost about 2k to Alex Martin, Alex c/raising the flop from 325 to 1100, before c/raising all-in on the turn. Priyan folded. Alex showed .



Roberto 'Maverick' Romanello and Irina Liepina.



The new Thewy Fan. It's no George Geary Fan though...



A studious looking Andrew Teng hiding behind Sean Fagan and the Spherical Wonder that is Matt Tyler

[NoflopsHomer]

Moomin just told of us of a situation where he re-raised an initial raise of 150 to 500, before accidentally betting 3,500 on the possibly dangerous flop of J-T-4 two spades. He held his tail and prayed.



Fortunately his opponent passed.

[Colchester Kev]

Ariston down to 2100 after another failed bluff....

Dewi 12k
Thewy 11k
Trigg 16k
Moorman 11k

Just heard Mick Fletcher is out ... no details.

[Colchester Kev]

Roberto 13k
Dan Owston 19k
John Hughes 10k
Paul Lammas 12k

[NoflopsHomer]

Connor Smyth has doubled up his shortish 3.5k stack with a set of Twos on a board against .

Albert Sapiano's unique tactic of calling on the flop to hit a gutshot on the turn has backfired so far today, he's down to only 3,000 chips or so.

Alex Martin c/raised Jeff Duvall and one other player on the turn of a board, Jeff passed by the other player called. Alex checked the river and was then faced by an all-in push of about 3,925. Alex thought for a moment before calling with a river counter-feited , but any fears he had went unfounded as the other player mucked and then left to head to the bar presumably.

[NoflopsHomer]

Henning Granstad now claims he's freerolling after raising pocket Tens after Nick Slade limped under the gun. Both checked the Q-J-T flop, fearful that the other had A-K. Slade bet out on the 7 turn and Henning just called. On the river Slade bet nearly twice the pot and Henning again just called, somehow having not gone broke against Nick Slade's Q-Q.

Alex Martin's 3-barrel bluff went wrong, min-raising 5-4o from the button and firing 600, 1,200 and 3,600 on the flop, turn and river but being check/called the whole way by the of his opponent on the board.

Steve Jelinek and Jeff Duvall are both OUT, the latter being all-in with a  flush draw but running into the nut-flush draw.
