Bluesq.com GUKPT Newcastle: Day 1A - Interactive

It folds around to Jen on the cutoff, who makes it 600. Big blind Nik Persaud calls.

Flop - - Nik checks, Jen bets 500 and Nick calls.

Turn - - again Nik checks and now Jen makes it 1k. Nik peeks at his cards, and calls.

River - - in much the same way, Nik checks, Jen bets 2k and Nik calls.

Jen shows . Obviously. Nik mucks. "Bad turn for you," says Jen. And then to me: "Don't report that hand." Jen back up to 11k.

And now Paul Gardner is OUT, he walked into John Conroy's Aces.

Thomas Middleton has just given a load of chips to Joey Lovelady, around 8k or so, after they saw an A-6-Q-9-T board with Joey's flopped set of sixes triumphing over Thomas' A-J.

Just before that Thomas Middleton hand, Joey Lovelady was down to around 20k. By way of explanation he merely pointed to John Conroy and his 25k or so, who slapped himself on the back of the hand.

Sticky toffee pudding with banana icecream...

[danafish]

Pre-break red-button-pushing from one young Mateyboy - he apparently raised it up with T-8 only for a gent I believe is Mark Tomblin to move all in. Apparently deciding he was live/couldn't be bothered coming back after dinner, Mateyboy called. Tomblin had Jacks.

Meanwhile, I can inform you that the buffet here is totally worthy of the newly-instituted Blondepoker Grosvenor Buffet Of The Day award. I managed to fit vegetable lasagne, an excellent chicken curry with rice, mixed vegetables, salad and the obligatory chips on a plate. Scampi was also available for those less repulsed by seafood. Mmm. By far the crowning glory though was dessert - as promised, a squishy, buttery sticky toffee pudding presented in its own pond of toffee sauce ("Is it soup?" asked a foreign-sounding gentleman) and topped with a scoop of banana ice cream. The chef promised me that each bowl contained a minimum of one million calories. Sugarlicious.

Gary Wilson -- 12k



Thomas Middleton and Steven King -- around 17k each.

Barry Neville's stack somehow took a significant beating before the break - something about Pete Linton raising with any two - but doubled up his shortstack with all in against on the flop of a board. Looks like he's now up to, er, 10k.

Other shortstacks on Table Neville include Gareth Teatum, who shoved for 6950 on a . Julien Twigg dwelled up approximately foreever, and then disappointingly passed, leaving Gareth very slightly less short than before.
