DTD Mini Festival: Day 1 - Interactive

[AndrewT]

Jon Lundy is a bit short after getting half his chips in preflop - there was a raise utg and a re-raise, which Lundy flat-called with pocket Kings. The flop came down Q-7-2 or Q-7-9 depending on who you talk to, and the gent in seat 7 whose name I do not know led out for 2,000 into a 4,500 pot. Lundy insta-folded.

Another Linton classic. "Don't report that hand," said Pete. In the interests of journalistic integrity, though, here it is.

Linton raises to a reasonable sort of 225. Two seats down on the cutoff, Rick Trigg calls.

Flop: - Pete bets 325. Trigg calls.

Turn: - check, check.

River:

Now Pete bets 1,000. "Oh no," says Trigg, "You're not value betting a ten, are you?" He calls. Pete turns over . Laughs Chris Bruce cross the table, "You're such a fish." "How am I a fish?" replies Pete, "What am I fishing for?" Good question...

Surely something is wrong here???  Did he forget to raise?!

Richard Sherwood is your current chip leader with around 30k. He just eliminated another opponent with jacks versus queens, all in preflop, jack on the flop.

A fun hand from the Table Of Doom.

One of Trevor Reardon, Paul Jackson and Joe Grech raised to 225 preflop, and the pother two called (missed that bit, sorry).

Flop: - Reardon checked, Jackson bet 600 and and Grech folded and wandered off somewhere. "I'll value call," said Reardon.

He then proceeded to bet out 1,100 on the turn, which Jackson called, and they both checked the the river. Reardon turned over for a flopped two pair, and Jackson mucked. I would tell you their chip counts after this hand but for the fact that we are getting FULL BREAKTIME CHIP COUNTS any minute! This is great.

By the way, it has been agreed by general consensus (Mr Trumper announcing it into the mic and everyone else sort of mumbling assent) that there is no reason for this to be a 3 day event, and thus it is now officially a 2 day event, meaning that I will be getting paid less for covering it.

Those of you tuning in on Sunday to watch the final table live will be sorely disappointed.

Here's our one and only masseuse karate chopping Richard Berridge into submission. Notice the 'AGE' on her back which is the tail end of 'NORKAGE'.



As I was perving over the local talent (that's the masseuse, by the way, not Richard), Ben Callinan found himself all in. He had against on a flop of and survive a turn and river. He's still short stacked though.

I couldn't possibly rob you of a full frontal of our kung fu masseuse.

Berridge has 13k.

You fool - you should have kept quiet and dripfed your update over three days - posting the last day from the comfort of Dana Towers. No one would ever have known, probably.

[TightEnd]

I would have known. FACT. end of.

[danafish]

Never quite recovering from that short-stacked-ness, Ben Callinan is now OUT - he raised and then three-bet all in with A-K to an enormous reraise from Neil Giblin. Giblin was holding pocket queens, which held up. I know all of this because the whole time Andrew Andreou was mouthing something at me across the room which I thought at the time was "boring" but actually turned out to be "all in". By the time I realised my mistake and got there, it was of course all over, and I will thus be resigning my post and today's updates will be provided by Mr Andreou and the beagle.

UPDATE

Mr Dave Smith has joined the Table Of Doom, which now has a full complement of nine doom-mongers.

[snoopy1239]

Andrew Tuxworth makes it 275 to go from late position, Mateyboy calls on the button and Matt Tyler makes it 1,000 to play from the blind. Tuxworth calls, Mateyboy steps out the way.

Flop =

Check, check.

Turn =

Check, check.

River =

Matt bets 1,100, Tuxworth makes it 4,000.

"How not to play my hand," confesses Matt as his faces turns sour.

"Nice hand, buddy," he continues.

Meanwhile, Tuxworth remains silent, arms folded, face motionless.

"Will you show if I fold?" asks Matt.

"No," announces Tuxworth abruptly.

"How about that notepad you've been writing on?" probes Matt.

"Definitely not that," replies Tuxwroth smirking.

Soon after, Matt releases hand, only for Tuxworth to go back on his word and reveals .

"He's an unconventional player," commented Matt later, clearly ruing folding what was probably the best hand.

Matt Tyler = 6,400
Andrew Tuxworth = 10,100
