BlueSquare.com GUKPT Walsall - Day 1A

[Tuffster]

What level are they playing upto?

Thanks and great updates.

Level nine, the current level, will be the final level of the day.

Is that the surprise? If so - not much of a build up imo. 

Is it the new "GUKPT - Action inducer"?

To induce action, Grosvenor have decided to install TK at each leg to tell train stories.

The idea is that everyone pushes all-in and Snoops can get a good nights sleep.

Whilst I have a spare moment, we lost Ash Pervais earlier on in the level. I joined the action with the board reading and Josh Tyler punching the air in delight with versus . "Yes, yes, come on!" he exclaimed with his arms aloft. "Who won that hand?" joked Martyn Cavanagh from a nearby table. "Get it quietly, Josh. You're an adult." tutted Paul Bracken from the rail (he may also have used a rude word that may not slip through our filter). "Get it quietly?" added Jim Reid. "This kid doesn't do it quietly."

Nevertheless, Tyler did indeed take the pot, to give himself a stack of 50,000. Pervais, meanwhile, was left with just several thousand, which went in a hand or two later with versus . But when the chips are down, the Poker Gods show no mercy, and as the board came Pervais merely chuckled, said nice hand and wished his opponents good luck.

Oh, I'd forgot about the surprise. I'll go find out if it's happened yet. If it's the introduction of another level, then I might smash my laptop over my head.

These ones are cushioned and would do enough damage if I had to work for another hour.

It has now been announced that the clock remain on 19.35, and all remaining players will play eight hands, at which point the day's play will end.

Bedlam here, the players are scratching their heads, the dealers are wondering how they'll keep count and I have no idea what I'm going to do about the tournament clock. I mean, should I let it run, or put it on a break, even though they're not actually on a break. Oh, my poor head.

Jon Kalmar managed about two of those eight hands before his queens ran into James Akenhead's kings. A quick shake of hand and the 2007 WSOP finalist was gone.

I wonder what the idea is behind this. Any one?  Stop slow play running up to the end of the level? I don't know. Anyone?

Yes, I was one of the people lobbying Jon to change this and fair play to him for listening. Stops people dwelling and running down the clock to avoid having to pay their big blind before the end of the day and subsequent redraw for day 2
