DTD Mini Festival: Day 1 - Interactive

I have conferred with the steward and he has agreed that Ben has balls made of gold.

Now that we have established the true value of Mr Vinson Jr's metaphorical scrotal contents, I must tell you that something utterly dreadful seems to have happened to Vinson Sr. First I noticed that he had rather fewer chips than he had a little while ago, but thought nothing of it. But the next time I passed his seat, there was neither any Vinson nor any stack of chips in evidence - just a sad, lonely leather jacket draped over the back of Mr Vinson's former seat. The next time I passed his table after that, he jacket was gone too. Either mysterious government experiments are being carried out, or Mr Vinson Sr is OUT. Sorry, assorted family members and supporters.

What did the steward say regarding 2x K s in the pack.

Fran Creed is still hanging in there - just. She shoved for her last 2,675 and found a caller in Richard Hawes holding . "I've got connected cards," said Fran apparently by way of some kind of apology for the filth she was about to turn over - the filth was exactly .

Board: making Ms Creed a rather unlikely full house.

She moved in again the very next hand, but this time her table gave her rather more credit for some reason, all folding including big blind and big stack Richard Berridge, who showed her A-8.

Yes, it's true, most of his stack went to Tom Nightingale who is now on over 40,000 as a result. I didn't see the hand myself, but apparently Alan had T-8 and an open ended straight flush draw which failed to hit.

Mr James Bishop continues to enjoy good fortune while the fortunes of the Vinson clan sink lower still.

Mr Bishop bet out 4k on the flop, and Mr Vinson Jr called. Mr Bishop bet a further 6k on the turn and after some short deliberation, Vinson Jr raised to cover him. Bishop called, and they were on their proverbial backs, like so -

Ben Vinson:
James Bishop:

River: a not very Vinson-friendly in the circumstances

Benjamin Carpenter is out after making a move with K-8. He was picked off by Joe Grech's A-K, which stood up on a raggy board.

[The_nun]

Really enjoy your updates, but have to hit the sack.

Thanks go to you and Good luck to remaining Blondes.

I only caught the latter stages of this bizarreness so I'm not massively sure how it came to this, but I witnessed He Who Cannot Be Named bet a fairly sizeable quantity of chips on the turn of the board and Mr Wernick raising him an equally sizeable quantity of chips. Mr Cannot Be Named called. Mr Wernick had maybe 5.5k remaining behind at this time. The river was the and Mr Wernick checked to Mr Cannot Be Named, who bet 4.5k. Mr Wernick got his chips in, Mr Cannot Be Named called the difference, and they were on their backs.

Mr Cannot Be Named:
Mr Wernick:

Double up for Mr Wernick, disgruntlement for Mr Cannot Be Named. Extraordinary.

Just to confirm, HWCBN raised preflop, Mickey called. Mickey smooth called a bet on the flop, 7,000 on the turn, and then an all in on the river. "I thought he'd check the overpair on the turn," said Mickey. "By then, I already knew I was going to see the hand through, whatever the river was, especially when he dwelt before making his final bet. Gotta say, wasn't too keen on that ace though."

As requested...

Richard Hawes -- 39,500
Steve Read -- 11,000
Mickey Wernick -- 23,000
