DTD Monthly £300 Freezeout - Day 1 - Interactive

[JungleCat03]

Welcome one and all to the wonderful poker locale that is Dusk Till Dawn as we prepare to embark on the journey to crown the latest DTD £300 tournament champion.

As numbers appear to be relatively low for the Bolton GUKPT, this bodes well for us here in Nottingham and we can no doubt expect a glut of faces, some familiar, some less familiar vying for the much coveted title.

Myself and Jen, who is fresh from donking off yet another stack at a GUKPT, are here to cover all the ins and outs, the coming and goings, shippings and hollering we expect from a poker tournament and we anticipate an exciting, closely fought contest.

Come with us now on a journey through time and space to the world of the mighty boosh Dusk Till Dawn...

This is an interactive thread so as ever feel free to throw chip count requests, supportive messages or any comments you fancy at us and we will do our best to assist.

This tournament sounds great and all, but you'd be better coming and watching the even more awesome GUKPT updates from Bolton...

Good luck to all blondes playing.

Anybody think there is going to be a massive overlay with a £25k guarentee on this tourney?

Hope so but I doubt it very much...

Mr. Cat is still struggling to figure out why giving the cab driver £1 on top of £20 helped sort out our £5.90 fare.  Rather than overburden him, I can say we now have 74 runners, making there a £900 overlay currently which might well be extinguished by the end of the buy-in period (2 levels).

THIS IS NOT A TEST (or a joke...)

Red-Dog is ALL IN within six minutes of play beginning!  Tikay rushed to his side as an opponent giving him plenty of credit folded face up on the flop of J-9-2... I prayed for him to show the bluff, but no cigar.  C'est la vie.

He has £15 in notes but not many pound coins?

Steady, your intellect is in danger of blinding me.

Hi Snoops + Jen.

Lots of James "The Atkinator" Atkin updates please

Early action - a fair few chips drift in the direction of Leon Rovira (pictured stacking those very same chips).  It appears he had raised preflop and seen a flop of with opponent Alan Stokes (pictured not stacking chips, in the blue cardy).  Check to the turn, and the second black deuce kicked off some action at last - a bet out of 400 by Stokes, raised to 1,000 by Rovira, and instacalled.
River:   Check to Rovira, who quickly bet 3k, which was called pretty quickly by Stokes, who mucked to see the fair to monstrous in the youngster's hand.
