Well here we are back down at Byker Grosvenor for Day 2. There are 59 left in and only 18 paying out, so expect tears, ludicrous grandstanding, possible violence, and a long slog down to Final Table. Chef has promised us chocolate fudge cake at some point today, and I can tell you right now that the chilli is very excellent, so I am full of hope for a great day of updating. Enjoy! Soon...

From AWOP -

Our first casualty is Mr Karl Mahrenholz, running his Q-9 smack into A-Q. Thoughts of his assassin: "Queen and a Nine is all mine, all mine, Queen and a Nine is all mine." Probably.

On the big train to Bustoville so far:

Karl Mahrenholz, who shoved with Q-9 suited in Andrew Jackson's A-Q.

Tahir 'Maldini32' Akram, who moved in against Dewi with , Dewi calling with in a big blind vs button confrontation, the board coming a clinical .

Jason De Freitas. His A-6 no good vs Mick McCloskey's A-K.

Those with life. And hope:

Dara O'Kearny, doubing up with vs Darren Clayton's .

Ian Farrell, winning a raise with Sixes vs Zak Aslam's Ace King.


Here's the Guiness-Powered Welshman though. (3 pints and counting).

DOUBLE-UPS

Mr Ian Farrell, with pocket Sixes holding up against Zak Aslam's A-K.

 Click to see full-size image.


----------

Darren Clayton then managed to deprive Mr Farrell of his newly-won chips, making a brave one-off-utg push with, um, . Farrell called with and was horrified to see a Five on the river.


EXITS

Mr Pete Singleton - coming back today the official microstack, he stood a hamster's chance in a barn full of elephants and was eventually done in by Mr T Horne's Pocket Fives against his non-hitting K-Q.

 Click to see full-size image.


----------

Craig Metcalfe, circumstances unknown.

-------------

The awesome shouty Paul Donaghey, circumstances known. A raising war with Mick McCloskey on a flop resulted in Mr Donaghey sticking his not inconsiderable stack in the middle, and Mick eventually calling.

Mick -
Paul -

Paul - "Come on, no nine!"

Turn -

Paul - "No nine! No nine!"

River -

Paul - "Ahhh ya fucker!"

Out he goes. Mick now most likely our new chip leader on 130k or so.

With Paul Gourlay, a trio of awesome poker fashion stylings:

Jon Huckle raises to 3,600. Rob Garfield flat-calls before Mick Fletcher moves in for around 20k. Huckle counts out his stack then moves in. Garfield folds quickly.

Fletcher:

Jon Huckle:

Both men shrug in a  'oh it's one of them ones' kind of way.

two hearts

Somehow Mick misses, wishes everyone good luck and leaves the table.

"A million outs," say Praz, "Maybe a little less."

"All goes in on the flop anyway," say Skalie.

Dave Smith is OUT. Jacks in the small blind vs Queens in the big for Kerry Taylor. A count down delays the exit, until it's show Taylor just has him covered by a couple of hundred chips or so.

alert

James Akenhead raises to 3k from early position. Rob Taylor makes it 12k from the small blind. James asks how much he has back, "I had 53k at the start of the hand, so about 41k"

James calls.

two spades

Check check.



Rob bets 10k. James calls.



Rob bets 10k again. James moves all-in. Rob looks in real pain with about 20k left and 80k or so in the pot. With a grimace he calls. James shows , Rob flashes Ace King as he throws them into the muck.
 
Afterwards Rob is thinking maybe he should pass, "James most likely knows what I have and yet is still setting me in, he's not doing that with Ace Jack which is all I'm beating on the river. I thought he might have Jacks..."

James now vying with Mick McCloskey for the chip lead.

Mr Dave Smith is OUT, as evidenced largely by his presence first at the cash desk, then at the cash game.




Those still in include the volatile but currently still chip-leading Pete Linton:

Praz Bansi and Rob "Happy" Garfield:




Joey "Gurning" Lovelady:

Also the owners of these delightful pates:




Was going to make that a competition but it's just too easy so I am awarding myself a prize for correctly guessing Dewi "5 Pints And Counting" James and Mickey "The Leg-End" Wernick:

gooooooooooooooo skaliiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee - time to show some Vegas form in the UK!!!

Mr Skalie is most unhappy after giving up a chunky pot to early Day 1a leader Ganesh Rao. Skalie made it 4k from one off the cutoff and to his consternation Ganesh called on his immediate left. The flop came two spades and Skalie made an 8k continuation bet, only for Ganesh to make it 20k. Skalie dwelled up a good long while before folding, his expression one of quite upsettingly deep unhappiness, like so - Sad . Bless.

Ganesh Rao has hit a big double up against Jon Huckle.

three clubs was the board

Ganesh was holding the against the equally never-folding . A blank two hearts on the river ships the 90k pot away from the Bad Beat player.

Here's an unusual thing - it's Rob Garfield, but he's smiling! Reason being that he got it in massively ahead and somehow stayed massively ahead all the way to double up his microstack - pocket Queens up against Jon Huckle's A-Q. Rob now on 20k or so, Jon Huckle was down to just 6k after that.

 Click to see full-size image.



Unsurprisingly, Huckle shoved his sad little stack in from the button next hand and small blind Alan Vinnicombe shoved too.

Vinnicombe -
Huckle - and delighted to be live

Board - three diamonds and Mr Huckle is a GONER.

Have left Praz in this photo to illustrate how he feels about having passed A-T in the big blind that hand:
