BlueSq.com GUKPT Brighton: Day 1a

[NoflopsHomer]

Bit of a nasty one for Lam Trinh. Neil Fox had limped and the small blind made up.



Trinh bets 500, Fox calls, the small blind passes.



Trinh bets 1,500. Fox calls again after some thought.



And now Trinh quickly bets 3,000. Fox calls a third time. Trinh turns over for a flopped flush, Fox turns over for the marginally higher flush...

Could Fox have raised at any point here?

[Dry em]

go Kerry! go Kerry!

[pfcpoker]

1 time jono, adam vinson and tony P, all 3 are due

[NoflopsHomer]

On a board, Willie Tann sees his bet reraised all-in by Richard Kellett to the turn of 7,825 more. Tann really looks like he wants to make a hero call but relents and folds.

[T8MML]

James Akenhead is missing, he's been gone the last four rounds or so. Time to put his face on milk cartons people. Or is he just paying tribute to the legend that was Vinnie Vinh's chair. I may get an interview with the chair during the break...

We only got back from PCA yday and his timezones are still out - I'd guess he took an early dinner break for a few zzz's

Its not difficult to see that James has spent the last two weeks in the Bahamas - what a tan lol

[NoflopsHomer]

Good news for all you Ian Frazer fans.

Frazer check/calls a bet on the flop of 1,500 before calling another 2,000 on the turn before the river went check-check. His opponent, Matt Perrins showed a counterfeited two pair, which had been rivered by the Queens belonging to Frzazer.

On the table next door, Ryan Fronda gets a cheeky value bet on the river of a . On the end he bets 1,000 which is called and turns over which is good.

Bit of a nasty one for Lam Trinh. Neil Fox had limped and the small blind made up.



Trinh bets 500, Fox calls, the small blind passes.



Trinh bets 1,500. Fox calls again after some thought.



And now Trinh quickly bets 3,000. Fox calls a third time. Trinh turns over for a flopped flush, Fox turns over for the marginally higher flush...

Could Fox have raised at any point here?

No, it's new rule, players are only allowed to call.

[NoflopsHomer]

Richard Kellett has busted James Browning.

Dave Colclough is also out.

Alex Martin is wearing a shirt that I can only describe as 'Funeral Curtains'.

[NoflopsHomer]

Richard Kellett claims another scalp.

Willie Tann raises on the cutoff to 4,100 with 3,000 behind. Kellett sets him in from the button. Tann calls with , Kellett shows and the board brings no surprises.

Fuad Serhan also gone. A-K vs the Tens of Simon Randall.

[NoflopsHomer]

Glenn Martin has trebled up. He was all-in preflop against Daniel Toffel and Jim Reid.

Both checked the flop before Reid bet 3,800 on the turn after Toffel had checked. The latter made the call though and checked the river to Reid who thought long and hard before checking.

"Have you got a seven Jim?" said Martin.

"Nope," replied Reid.

"Well, I guess I've won then," came the short stack's assumption as he turned over . Toffel then turned over for the side pot when Reid mucked.

[NoflopsHomer]

The last hand before the break sees a sparring match between Ian Frazer and a short-stacked Sam Trickett, the latter pushing on the turn of a . Frazer thinks long and hard but folds.

60 left. 3 levels to go.

latest chip counts on jon omara, adam vinson, tony phillips and richard kellett please if you can spare the time

[NoflopsHomer]

Stuart Nash and Simon Randall are out.

Ian Frazer and Sam Trickett continue to spar. Trickett raises to 1,600 and Frazer calls in the big blind.



Frazer checks, Trickett bets 2,300. Frazer calls.



Frazer checks again, Trickett bets 3,200, Frazer quickly announces all-in, Trickett instantly folds.

Frazer lost most of his stack soon after though, running into Keir Ratcliff's for what was probably a 40k pot after they got it all-in preflop and the board ran out .
