BlueSq.com GUKPT Bolton: Day 1A - Interactive

[Royal Flush]

While I was munching on my jam roly poly (which I'm assured is "part of the cuisine up't north"), I manged to delve deep into the internal hand history accumulator that is Richard Hawes' memory and learn of an intriguing three way pot involving Andrew Andreou. According to Richard, Andrew raised it up preflop from the cut-off to 600, only for the button to make the call and the blind to bump it up to 2,650. After tanking for a good few minutes, Andrew eventually folded pocket kings (or so he claimed), and the button called. The button then proceeded to check call 4,000 on the J-9-8 flop, and then a final 5,000 on the deuce turn before being met by pocket aces. However, a ten on the river dealt out a cruel blow to defect the bullets and send the pot sailing over to the jubilant ladies.

In the dinner queue, I ran into Paul Parker, who was keen to tell me of the departure of Mick Fletcher. "I think the board was 5-9-x-J, or something. One guy bet out 500, another raised it to 1,500 and Mick called. The bettor then pushed with a set of fives and Mick called with the opened ended straight draw, but didn't hit."

Wondering whether to opt for the Fisherman's pie or the shepherd's pie (possibly the most difficult decision he's faced so far), Paul continued, "I think it was this other hand that did it though, it was all downhill from there. Mick raised with queens, and called a reraise behind. He then called a bet on an A-K-x flop, before betting the raggy turn when his opponent checked. The guy then raised to make Mick fold the hand before showing J-6 off for a total bluff. I'm not sure why he fancied making a move, I think he just decided at the start of the hand that he was. Seemed a bit risky to me."

Richard said that the guy who had the aces had barely played a hand all day, so I imagine that was the only factor that could have persuaded Andrew to have folded his kings. Maybe it just one of those situations where it was written all over him that he had aces.

And stop using those bloody brackets or I'll have to meet those previous requests for dealer photos.

Ok chip leader drumroll!!!

Womble!!! With around 33k!!!



Some guy who plays the circuit a lot, tends to do ok, got 32k.

[DaveShoelace]

Go Thewy, Coxy and Mason-y

[ariston]

can you make sure you keep an eye on womble and have tissues at the ready. He is known to have nosebleeds with a stack that size in front of him

he finished 20th at walsall earlier in the year and never had more than 21k in the whole tournament so I reckon he has enough in front of him there to final at thanet in a few weeks

[ariston]

bring back womblecam (one of the best threads even on blonde lol)

Julian's post tournament increase was in an unraised pot which came with a tantiliasing flop, one guy led out for 600 and was min-raised to 1,200 with Julian making it 3,000. Just the min-raiser called, Thewy then bet the turn and was called before setting his opponent in on the river where his opponent passed apparently.

Sam Trickett, "Julian had the ace or king flush for sure and just knew the other guy had a smaller flush, he's not cold 4-betting there without close to the absolute nuts."

Sam still has a pretty solid stack himself and it's only a matter of time before the two GUKPT winners go at it...

[vinni]

my god he must have hit monsters ,go on the tory boy.

I agree, but Jon Raab says no.

LOL what has it got to do with Raaby ?

tell raab we need a womblecam. If he brings it back I will even get womble to wear a bluesquare logo in the final (lets face it he already has a seat booked with that stack).

In Dortmand when womblecam was in effect he managed to go three consecutive days without playing a hand. as the bubble approached he uttered the word raise and the remaining 63 players in the tourney all instamucked, two people on roulette folded and a waitress mucked her drinks order.

raab is the official womblecam operator. Maybe he could have a bluesquare sponsored womblecam
