BlueSq.com GUKPT Brighton: Final Day

[NoflopsHomer]

Nathan Lee moves all-in for 45.5k from second position and surprisingly no-one can find a hand to call him with.

The one person I don't like in the whole piece is not Iwan, but Frazer. He starts inane, midly aggressive banter with anyone under the age of thirty throughout the hand, and so to then take a massive advanatge of this situation is a bit sick.

Mental note- next time I have the best hand against him, I will be asking "Are you going to call a bet?". Would this count under the same ruling?

Im guessing but if he says Yes and its in a Grosvenor then he will have to call any bet you make!

And this is the craziness of the situation isn't it? 25/50 level, it's passed to you in the small blind with aces, and you ask the big blind "Will you call if I raise?". He answers "yes," and you move all-in. Same ruling? It logically should be.

Keir Ratcliff raises to 24k and gets Andreas Hoivold's big blind.

Nick Holbrook raises to 26.5k next hand and Nathan Lee shows , choosing to preserve his 30k or so.

Andreas Hoivold raises on the button and Richard Lewindon moves in on the big blind. Hoivold folds. They are going after him!

[NoflopsHomer]

Nick Holbrook limps in 3rd position, James Sudworth limps behind, as does Andreas Hoivold. Richard Lewindon pushes for 126k more on the button.

Holbrook and Sudworth fold quickly but Hoivold takes a lot longer, staring at his opponent. Lewindon's poker face becomes an epic fail as he just collapses into laughter.



Hoivold then folds.

Good luck to all the finalists.

I think its fitting that neither Frazer or Jones made the final after last nights events.

[GreekStein]

gl Loser18 Lewindon!

Ramsey and Hoivold get me out of it too!

[NoflopsHomer]

Nathan Lee pushes for 46.5k, Keir Ratcliff calls on the button, everyone else folds.

Ratcliff:



Nathan Lee is OUT in 9th place winning £4,700

[NoflopsHomer]

Ramsey Ajram is in every pot, first he raises to 28k UTG and gets the blinds.

Holbrook raises to 26.5k from mid-position taking Ajram's blind.

Ajram raises to 26k in the small blind, Bernard Litman reraises all-in from the big blind and Ajram instantly folds.

Ajram raises the button to 25k, Keir Ratcliff in the big blind says, "Dis geezer's fearless..." Ratcliff shows and folds.

A couple of hands later and Ajram raises again taking Nick Holbrook's big blind this time...

Will anyone take him on?

I don't think I could do this, even against someone like Frazier who hates the guts of anyone younger than him. It's just too dirty, don't you think?

[NoflopsHomer]

Ratcliff raises to 26k, James Sudworth calls in the big blind.



Sudworth leads for 35k. Ratcliff moves in, Sudworth snap-folds.

Nick Holbrook raises to 28k taking Andreas Hoivold's big blind.

Hoivold raises to 30k in the small blind. Richard Lewindon thinks about shoving but folds.

A problem when you have a ruling which is so exploitable.

Johnathan Raab has said they'll be reviewing it

[NoflopsHomer]

Hoivold raises to 24k on the button. Ajram reraises to 80k in the big blind, Hoivold instantly moves all in. And instantly called.

Hoivold:

Ajram:

Andreas, "Nice timing."



A wince and groan from the crowd. Ajram gets up out of his chair knocking it over and says, "Sick...I'm too good for this fucking game." He takes a moment away from the table to compose himself before sitting back down.

[NoflopsHomer]

Ajram moves in the next hand and gets the blinds.

Bernard Litman does the same soon after and also picks up the blinds and antes.

[NoflopsHomer]

This kinda sums up Ramsey at the moment.



But to be fair, although he did get upset at losing that pot to Andreas, that was the first flicker of emotion I've seen him make in 3 days.

[NoflopsHomer]

James Sudbrook limps in.

"Keep it friendly!" he says to Andreas. Andreas smiles back and checks.



Check....and check



Check, Andreas bets 10k. Call



Check, Andreas bets 30k. Sudworth mulls it up and calls.

Andreas shows for the rivered straight. Sudworth makes a point of showing his .
