DTD Anniversary Cup - Day 1

[NoflopsHomer]

Big pots cause caution...

A sizeable pot of around 13k ended with check-checkage between Pete Linton and his nextdoor neighbour on a as both turned over A-Q off to split the pot.

Meanwhile on a board, with 10k in the pot, John Eames checked OOP to his opponent who declined to bet. Eames showed and his opponent looked at the dealer and pointed to Eames, mucking his cards at the same time.

Half the players are now on a dinner break while the the other half, including Jen, Karabiner and Tom Rutter continue.

As the first half of the field staggered towards the buffet, I managed to grab a few counts from some shorties. Just 12 exits thus far, but there are also several people nurturing depleted stacks. Feel free to point and mock from your arm chair.

Basharat Mahmood -- 12,050



Gary Tomney -- 6,300



Andrew Hayton -- 12,375



James Eggar -- 3,500



Adam Kalynuk -- 2,900

It would appear as though one of those unfortunate shorties is now out. James Egarr did double up his short-stack with versus on an ensuing board, but exited a few hands later. Details of the swan song are so far unknown.

Brilliant updates as usuall witty but informative, nice. Any chance of an update of Reece Cole its his 1st biggy but i think hes up for it. A photo would be much appreciated to take to the snooker club where we play poker.

This is Jim Buckley, known as Splash on the blonde poker forum but recently named 'Tim' by Floppy who claims he is the spit of Martin Freeman from the Office. I concur.

Buckley doing okay at the moment with little change in his stack, the last pot I saw him snap up being when his opponent called a 1,000 bet on the river of a . Jim showed a victorious , much to his opponent's chagrin.

Thanks, will keep an eye out. Should have spotted you earlier with that helmet on. No sure how I missed you.

Ben Mayhew -- 30,500

Ben Fkin Mayhew, gogogogo.

Frans convinced me to come down to the £55 instead of playing online in Hotel, sighh.

Will see you all around 7.

Could we have an update on Tom Rutter please, and any assocaited knitwear?

Looks like he's running hot today, I hope he can put some pressure on the short stacks

[snoopy1239]

Disaster for Jen Mason. "That's so annoying," she grrs after returning from a nasty set versus overpair encounter. Nothing too extra-ordinary here, Jen raising preflop with kings, betting a queen high flop, and then again on the raggy turn only for her opponent to say, "I'll put you all in then". Jen makes the call, but finds she's up against pocket fives. No miracle on the turn, and the manga-loving, sleep-obsessed, cat-enthusiast is gone.

Bernie Holmes was the assassin.

Early on in the tourney, James raised pre flop to 1k with KK, I called with QQ. The flop came down T42 (2 clubs) he bet out 3k, I shoved, he said "I told myself before the tourney that if someone shoves against my Kings I'll fold" and so he did. I guess he's taken a beating before in this situation.

He got down to 3.5k odd, Everyone folded to me when he was in the BB, I bet out 1k, he raised all in as I expected, I called with K5 off he showed Q3. I hit a 5 on the flop. He hit a queen on the turn and doubled up.

A while later, I find myself with 55 on the button, raise it up to 2k, he shoves 6k+ I call. He shows A7 off and does not improve.
