DTD Deepstack £500 - Day 1: Interactive

[NoflopsHomer]

Chris Bruce just told us about this hand. There's a raise to 300 and several callers see a 9-8-6 two diamond flop. One player leads out for 1,200, the next (original raiser) moves all-in for 5,000 and then a third player moves all-in for 20,000 with the first bettor then calling all-in for his 10k.

FB: 8-8

OR: A-A

Third Player: 9-9

The turn is a 5 and the river is 7, making a straight and all three players have to suffer the ignominy of a chop.

Simon Nowab is out, calling Snoopy's raise with 9-3 and flop two pair against the Snoopster overcards + nut flushdrawing which hit.

Another near-all-in situation -

On a board of Mohammed Shoahebe had bet 2,600 into a 5,500 pot.  Action over to Adam Wilkinson, who moved all-in for around 10,500.  Action back to Shoahebe, and there it remained, for a very long time.  After some traditional back-n-forth chat to pass the minutes which were ticking away, including the gem, "I've booked a hotel for tonight - make a good fold and throw it away," from Adam, it looked like Shoahebe had stalled.

"Show your Aces, Adam," piped up tablemate Billy Ngo (pictured top). 
"I'll show you one..." replied Wilkinson.
"Clock!" replied Ngo.

Eventually Mohammed passed, and Pete Linton passed judgement.  "That was a waste of time."

Yes, short stack watch is already on... and its beam of conspicuous chip absence lands on...

Chili.  Live poker is so Trigged!



Mickey Wernick.  Amazingly.  But don't be surprised if he makes Day Three with the same stack.  He did tell me, cryptically, "I'm cooking with gas!"



Mad Turk.  "Are you taking a photo of me and my beard?" he demands.  "Yes."  "OK."

Yes, it's a staggered dinner break, meaning action continues as half the players head into the small but perfectly formed buffet.  Snoops tells us that his new count is 19,725 after knocking out Nowab.  Everyone else was too busy getting to the front of the food queue to elaborate...yet.

[ x ] That's clever.

Rick Trigg is way back down to 17k having dropped 12k, in his own words, "I've had overpairs to the board three times and lost all three."

The main one was being 3-bet by Richard Berridge when holding Jacks and then check/calling on a Tx 3x board only for Berridge to show for a rivered back door flush. The table are now on a split dinner break, four tables have this hour off, whilst the five will have the next hour off, with the others playing the 100/200 level.

Dear DTD, please change the music! Seriously there seems to be only eight songs in the mix and I'm getting sick of Nickelback's Rockstar.

So much so, you're posting the same hand twice!

Tom Rutter makes veeerrrry innnnteresting call on river...

On a board of Richard Hawes bet out 4,400 into a pot which must have been around that size.  Having entirely missed the action on all preceding streets, I have no idea who was the aggressor earlier, but it was definitely quite a call Tom Rutter made with .  Hawes mucked straight away and Rutter allowed himself a very slight table tap.  "He could have been bluffing with the best hand," warns tablemate Mickey Wernick, before relenting and adding, "Good poker."

You looking at me?  Are you?  Are you?

[Horneris]

Didnt realise Richard Hawes was playing.

GL Richard too.
