Bluesq.com GUKPT Manchester: Final Day - At A Glance

[NoflopsHomer]

Zach Ford raises, Aarun Bernard flat-calls, Paul Lammas moves all-in. Zachary Ford asks for a count, it's 121k. Zach now moves in and Aarun folds.

Zach:

Paul:

Flop:

(Shouts of "YEEEEEEEEEES!!!" from Paul's friends) ("Ahhhhhhh" says the crowd) (Deep breath intake sound from everyone)

Turn:



River:



Paul Lammas is OUT in 8th place winning £9,270.

Aarun Bernard is delighted because he also had A-Q and would have obviously done his stack on the flop.

[NoflopsHomer]

Charles raises to 40k from early position. Aarun re-raises to 90k from the button. Charles passes Tens face up, Aarun shows Aces and wins the pot, though you suspect the real winners are everyone else at the table.

[NoflopsHomer]

gasman ftw

jehova ftw imo

Norkage FTW ......................... oops forgot this is Manchester lol

Norkage can't win, it doesn't seem to be participating at the moment. C'mon Kev, give the NAS some eye candy. You've given us absolutely nothing to chew on all week and, quite frankly, it's a total disgrace.

Shouldn't you be on holiday? Bugger off.

[NoflopsHomer]

Marc Goodwin raises to 35k, Nik Persaud and Aarun Bernard call from the blinds.



Nik leads out for 50k, Aarun folds and Marc calls.



Check check



Check check.

Nik shows for the flopped straight. Marc held and the turn saved him from losing more chips.

Soon after, it's Nik raising to 40k, Marc calling from the big blind, "I'm on tilt!"



Check check.



Check, dwell from Nik. Check.



Marc bets 35k, Nik calls after another dwell. Marc shows having outflopped Nik's .

[NoflopsHomer]

Charles Ihle raises to 40k, gets no callers and shows the boots. That's just in case you missed him folding Tens to the re-raise earlier.

[NoflopsHomer]

Marc Goodwin raises to 40k, Charles calls.



Marc checks, Charles bets 40k. Marc calls.



Marc checks, Charles bets 40k again. Marc calls again.



Marc now bets 60k and Charles shakes his head and shrugs looking at the board and calls. Marc shows for the flush. Charles looks a bit pissed.

[NoflopsHomer]

Paul Gourlay shoves for 114k from the small blind. Nik Persaud dwells up before calling from the big blind.

Paul:

Nik:

Board:

And with that, we're on a one-hour dinner break.

[NoflopsHomer]

Rough chip counts (Courtesy of me going over there and going "Errr" a lot in an effort to get the dealer to count them - which failed)

Marc Goodwin -- 900k
Zachary Ford -- 620k
Charles Ihle -- 160k
Nik Persaud -- 1,050k
Aarun Bernard -- 300k
Laurance Houghton -- 400k.

[NoflopsHomer]

For some reason we're not restarting til 8.15pm.

I have no idea why we've been this delayed...

[NoflopsHomer]

We've finally restarted.

Charles moves all-in, doesn't get a caller and shows Queens.

Incidentally, they aren't the Children of the Damned in the background there...

[NoflopsHomer]

Marc continues to punish Laurance with position, first re-raising his 52k raise to 172k, then calling a 26k bet on a flop in a sb/bb battle. Both check the turn before Laurance bets 50k on the river. Marc calls with . It's good.

Other than that, players have really tightened up, multiple walks are being handed out, Nik Persaud the recipient of at least three so far.

Obviously not enough wine with their meals...

[NoflopsHomer]

Nik raises to 60k, Laurance re-raises to 160k, passed back to Nik who sticks in around 30 blue 10k chips covering Laurance, the latter shrugs and calls for his stack.

Nik:

Laurance:



Laurance Houghton is OUT in 6th place winning £15,450

Nik has about 1.4 million, Marc is on about 1 million, Bernard has about 400k or so and Charles has around 200k. (Rough guestimates)

Spot a less than sober Alex Martin in the background...

[NoflopsHomer]

Marc raises to 50k, but Zach re-raises to 200k. Marc folds.

Aarun limps in the small blind, Marc moves in, (setting Aarun in effectively). Aarun snap calls and shows , Marc shows . But you can play a hand perfectly, and still the fickle finger of fate finds a way to frustrate you...



Aces Up for Goodwin, and...

Aarun Bernard is OUT in 5th place winning £19,310
