BlueSq.com GUKPT Bolton: Final Day

[Colchester Kev]

Cascarino is winning every race he enters ... looking back on the last 2 days there are lots of them.

Look closely, and you'll see Kevin has two giraffes with him today. He must have bought one overnight. What I don't understand, however, is if they are in the same location, why they are different colours. Surely the light, humidity, or whatever causes them to change complexion would be the same. "It's technical stuff, Snoopy," claimed Kevin. "You wouldn't understand."

Dennis Clough raises to 29k and Kevin O'Leary moves all-in from the small blind. Dennis, who we probably know the least about on the final table, but has impressed this week, doesn't think long and folds.

Ali Mallu raises UTG and against it's passed to Tony Cascarino in the big blind who moves all-in again forcing Ali to fold K-Q face up. Mallu is Mallued once more!

It doesn't stop him though and he raises the next hand also with Roberto calling from the big blind. Both check the and when Roberto fires out 45k on the turn, there's very little else that Dennis can do but fold.

Surinder Sunar raises to 28k from the cut-off and Roberto moves all-in from the small blind, the slow casualness that the former WPT winner usually displays is non-existant as he quickly puts his remaining chips with flipping as Roberto shows .





Surinder's count is around 67k and he gains a much needed double up. Roberto still has around 250k.

Sid Harris is out and becomes the 8th place finisher winning £5,250

Tony Cascarino raises to 30,000 from early position, Ali Mallu makes it 130,000 from the hijack and Sid Harris calls all in from the small blind for 82,000. Although he asked for a count from Ali's remaining stack, Tony opted to fold, allowing Ali to reveal . Sid had . The board left Sid with four outs to the straight, none of which emerged on the decisive river. "Took a chance," he said on departure.

Kevin O'Leary raises to 35,000 on the button. Surinder Sunar, who treats every hand in the same slow considerate style, thinks for a while before folding while Tony Cascarino quickly moves all-in and Kevin folds as fast. It seems the former footballer is determined to use his stack as much as possible forcing his nearest rivals to really find a hand and eliminate any possible skill advantage that he thinks they might have. This I think is perhaps the fifth or sixth time where's made his huge re-raise all-in and they've got through each time so far.

Of course, the consistent all-in moves do work, every time, but once.

Meanwhile Chaz Chattha and Rob Garfield are in the final five (No, not THOSE final five, BSG fans) of the £300 event.

Surinder Sunar is out and becomes the 7th place finisher winning £7,000

Kevin O'Leary limps under the gun, Surinder Sunar raises to 38,000 and Kevin calls.

On a , Kevin checks, Surinder bets 45,000 and Kevin calls.

Kevin then announces all in on the turn, leaving Surinder in a quandary that results in a long pause.

Kevin, seemingly unnerved by the wait, plays up to the camera and begins chatting to Rob Sherwood next door, almost as if he wasn't even in the hand.

Surinder, meanwhile, remains as stoic as usual, his hands on his chin as he pensively, and quietly mulls over his decision. As the clock ticks on, the crowd gradually close in on the table.

Eventually a clock is called, and, after twitching the bottom of his stack as if about to push, Surinder does indeed slide his chips across the line with 30 seconds to spare.

However, to his dismay, the former WPT winner is drawing dead with versus , meaning the river is academic.

Ali Mallu raises to 35k. Dennis Clough moves all-in for about 56k. Kevin O'Leary in the big blind, thinks about it but folds. Ali calls

Dennis:

Ali:



The turned nuts for Ali leaves Dennis heading for the rail after three days of good play being justly rewarded.

Dennis Clough goes out in 6th place winning £8,750

Roberto Romanello raises from UTG and Ali Mallu moves all-in from the big blind. Roberto calls and finds his has Ali's pipped by one.

means the Welshman's jack kicker players and he doubles up to about 360k.

Meanwhile Rob Sherwood is down to just 150k and looking frustrated, partially down to a seeming lack of cards and also partly, I suspect, due to the fact that any skill edge he may have is being completely negated by Mallu and Cascarino's continual big all-in moves which means we're seeing lots of all-in preflop action and very little post flop play.

This could be over soomer rather than later----------seems lots of pushing

[snoopy1239]

Five remain.

[snoopy1239]

Ali Mallu has doubled up, much to the delight of the local support on the rail. With Ali limping from the cut-off and Rob Sherwood making up the small blind, Kevin O'Leary bet out 55,000 from the big blind. Back round to Ali who then announced all in. After Rob had folded, Kevin made the call almost as quickly as Ali had pushed and the cards were turned over.

Whilst Kevin drops below 300,000, Ali now has over 400,000 in chips.
