BlueSq.com GUKPT Bolton: Day 1A - At A Glance

[NoflopsHomer]

The Rich Get Richer...

First Dominic Rossookh knocks out Lynne Beaumont after he button raises with and she makes a stand with . No help from the board and she's gone, while he is on almost 100k now.

Anto Farkas is OUT. He went out with blind on blind against Sam Trickett's . The board bricked out.

"Golden" said Paul Gourlay.

"Golden" said Womble.

"Golden" said Rob Sherwood.

Meanwhile Sam has been ribbing Rob Sherwood after the former raised to 2k with the latter shoving for 40k. "He gone all Leo Kam on me!" said last month's winner. "He knows he can't 3-bet me because I'm going to 4-bet him to pieces!"

And just when you think this table couldn't get more interesting. Alli Mallu gets moved to this table with a decent stack...

Andrew Andreou -- 41,200
Sammy Cheung -- 14,425
Rob Sherwood -- 43,550
Ali Mallu -- 62,650


Disaster for Adam Clark who really doesn't seem to run particularly well in these events. His final encounter of the night saw him get it all in with versus the of Victor Kaye on a board. However, the Poker Gods work in mysterious ways and dealt Adam the cruelest of blows by ordering a third ace to hit the river. Whilst Victor was understandably elated in victory, Adam was stoic as he departed and may be getting home in record time.


As we crept into the final level of the night, Richard Swerling enjoyed a timely double up courtesy of Christopher Bell. It was a simple affair in the end, tens versus jacks on an ensuing 6-K-4-7-A board.

Stephen Montgomery is a Mont-goner. His short-stack shove with was looked up by Dfyed Price's .

and an arse-clenching river .

Sooner after, it's a similar pukeathon for Adam 'Clarkatroid' Clarke, all in on the turn of a board with against Victor Kaye's until...disaster, the Barry Greenstein special. It's the river. Because it's always the river...



Finally, it's Wombletime baby!!



Having been re-raised off a couple of hands, Womble ends up calling Paul Parker's all-in but his are marketly inferior to Parker's but the board peels off with a the first card out, followed by ("Keep the spades coming" shouts Paul) . Parker is gone, but Womble remains. If it's any consolation, I think a ParkerCam should be our next step.

Paul Bellamy is 'just another victim' for Ali Mallu who's stack continues to head towards that magic 100,000 mark. I didn't see how it happened, but when the cards were on their backs, it was Paul who had his nose slightly in front with versus Ali's . The was safe, but the turn wasn't, and by the river Ali had inscribed yet another notch on his poker bedpost.

20 remain.

And Andy Greekfish, is a lucky, lucky boy.

David Paul limped for 1k with about a 30k stack. Mallu limped, as did another player and the small blind made up.

During this Greekfish gave a bit of banter about how he was going to move all-in and how no-one would be able to call... He then looked at his cards and immediately moved all-in for 35k. David Paul thought for about five seconds before calling and the others got out of the way.

"Oh no, I'm in bad shape here, you've got me, I'm in real trouble..." said a nervous Andy flipping . Amazingly Paul had called off his 30k with . But fate is a fickle mistress and the board came out and a slightly embarrassed Greekfish was left with a big pot but a red face, a sacrifice most would be willing to take at this point.

This left us with two tables meaning we've finished for the night. See you tomorrow!
