Bluesq.com GUKPT Newcastle: Day 2 - Interactive

[danafish]

A double-up for a slightly sheepish Hamid Rowshanaei, getting it in with against Michael Hill's and then hitting the living crap out of the board. He was sort of shaking his head as he raked in the chips. Michael Hill down to just 21k.

Wristwatch Of The Day

This yellow plasticky new-fangled digital number that wouldn't look out of place on the wrist of George Jetson himself:




It is the proud property of Mr Ganesh Rao, who has taken a rather large hit courtesy of the unusual raising-calling-hitting-on-the-river combos of Mr Fraser Macintyre.

Fraser raises utg, and BB Ganesh calls.

They both check the flop, and Fraser calls Ganesh's bet on the turn.

River - - and Ganesh bets a whopping 12.6k. Fraser raises him another, whopping-er 22.5k, leaving himself just 8k behind. After some dwelling, Ganesh calls, and looks like his heart might actually have broken when Fraser turns over for the backdoor flush. He mucks.

Fraser: "I don't have it, really!"




"Oh, actually, yeah, I do."

Supermonsterhugepot news.

James Akenhead raises preflop from early position and Andrew Jackson calls from the button.



There's a flurry of activity and all the chips go in, in what is around a 200k pot.

James:

Andrew:



An extra two outs...



Three pair for Jackson, but a house for Akenhead putting him over the 220k mark and knocking his opponent out, James has around average stack for the final now.

When queried why Jackson didn't re-raise preflop, Pete Linton piped up: "Because he's shit."

£20 Note of the Day

[danafish]

DISASTER
as reported to me by Fran.

Former Chip Monster Mick McCloskey is OUT, aggressively Lintoned and sent to the rail.

Pete raised it up with 5-3, as Pete is wont to do, and Mick called from the big blind.

Flop - - Pete bet out, Mick called.

Turn - and Pete bet 25k. Mick then shoved for another 30k or so, and Pete called.

Mick -

An unhelpful on the river, and he'd McClosked it up. Pete won a 40k pot off of someone else next hand, and is now on 200k or thereabouts.

I'm afraid Mr Linton is getting himself a bit of a reputation.  He doesn't seem to know when to keep his mouth shut and more importantly when to change his style of play during a tournament in order to take down these big events from very promising positions.  He should look in the mirror at his own play rather than criticising others.

Double-up for Adam Clark, courtesy of Rob Sherwood raising it up with K-Q and then calling Adam's push - Adam had A-K and a Queenless flop later, he is a happy, blurry lad indeed.

Dewi is down to just 20k or so. "I'm going to double up any second. I'm going to win this." Next hand he gets a walk. "That's the start of my comeback," he says cheerfully.

Sam Trickett is OUT, having just moved tables, he pushed UTG with Fours, despite his chips still being in the rack. Michael Ellis moved in behind him with Nines and everyone else folded. A nine came out on the flop and the GUKPT Grand Final winner of last year housed up by the river. Not sure if got to keep the racks as well as the chips though.



Ganesh Rao has knocked out Jon Kalmar in a blind on blind battle. The chips going in on a T-6-4 flop, with Jon holding Q-T but running into Ganesh's flopped T-6 two pair.



Joey Lovelady has knocked out short stack David Knight with against .
