Sorry to ask an off topic question, but does anybody know who won the 300 pound freezeout which should have concluded today?

[NoflopsHomer]

One overzealous and perhaps inebreiated railer has been thrown out for telling the players to "Hurry the f**k up!"

Mark Tomblin ahead of Jonathan McCann, thanks to Zack for that.

Ian has begun to just absolutely pound on Ganesh, raising more often and betting most boards. Everytime he faces a bet, Ganesh seems to shake his head in frustration and give up the pot.

The standard hand will be, Ian limp/raises, Ganesh checks/calls. {Flop}. Ganesh checks, Ian bets around 1/2 to 2/3 the pot, Ganesh looks unhappy and folds.

Ian I think has around 1.5 million to Ganesh's 400k.

[NoflopsHomer]

...And he's doubled up!

Ian raises from the button, and Ganesh announces all in for 365k total. Call.

Ian -
Ganesh -

Board -

He's still behind, but it's much evener now. Bllinds still a whopping 30k/60k.

Ganesh is asking how long they've got before they make the record for longest final table. TD Ian sighs that it'll have to be past 5am. Ian Farrell is apologising to the press and promising us drinks afterwards...

[NoflopsHomer]

Limped pot.



Ganesh checks. Ian bets 60k. Ganesh calls.



Ganesh checks, Ian bets 90k. Ganesh calls.



Ganesh checks a third time. Ian bets 200k. Ganesh shrugs and calls.

Ian shows , Ganesh shows , caught up on the river.

[NoflopsHomer]

Ian raises preflop, Ganesh moves all-in. Ian calls.

Ganesh:

Ian:

So it's Ganesh with the dominating flush draw hand.



Ganesh doubles up his stack to around 1.35 million.

As Pete Tong said, "We continue..."

[NoflopsHomer]

And is it over? Is it?

No!

Ganesh raises and Ian goes all in. Ganesh calls!

But...

Ian -
Ganesh -

Board -

Double-up for Ian, back to the chip lead. Ian 1.14 million, Ganesh 760k. No end in sight. Alcoholic beverage count in press room - embarrassing. No. of members of press napping - 2.

[NoflopsHomer]

Limped pot, (around 85% are)



Ian checks, Ganesh bets 60k. Ian calls.



Check, check.



Ian bets 240k, Ganesh moves all-in and Ian snap calls with , not even thinking. Ganesh shows for the straight...

[NoflopsHomer]

Is it over? Is it?

YES!

Ian shoves. Ganesh calls. Just like that.

Ganesh -
Ian - in a spot of bother with (as Mike Hill said on shoving with his 2-7 yesterday, "they're suited!")

Board -

And after 11 long, latterly boozy hours, Ian Farrell is OUT in 2nd place officially winning £33,075...

Which means that Ganesh Rao is the WINNER!!!!! of the Bluesquare.com GUKPT Newcastle 2008, officially winning £57,175!

Congrats Ganesh and Ian too, not to mention all you folks who put money on Ganesh for the win, as well as we press who are still awake and relatively sober! Well done everyone!

Chris is a-tending to the Official Presentation Photographs, and we are mere minutes away from sticking a fork in this piece of meat and calling it Wild Turkey... Or insert your own, better, pun here, it's late. But over! Time for the bar!

[NoflopsHomer]

And the winner of the GUKPT Newcastle leg of 2008 is...........................................................
