A cheeky snap of chip leader Barney Boatman. Also notice Daniversaci pointing to his chin in the background. Perhaps thinking, 'What shall I have with my apple pie? Hmm'.

I caught the end of a big hand between Barny and Darren: The board looked like:  .  Darren bet out 50k, and Barny raised a further 150k (about half of Darren's remaining chips).  He had a good long think (not unusual) but this time had a decision we all got to see the thinking behind:  He eventually called showing  .

Barny said, "I put you on a busted flush draw" and showed his  , which lost him a tidy sum.  Well, he was half right...

Still 20 more minutes at the 10k - 20k blind level.  To be honest, I thought this one might have finished them off, but there have been quite a few cagey call'n'check kind of pots played where we get to see all the cards but no one wants to bet, and someone wins their own blind and a call's worth at the end.  I think they're going to have to do some serious editing for this DVD of theirs...  Not that it isn't fun to watch, they are clearly taking it all very seriously and a small but persistent crowd of spectators has gathered whose secondary role is to gently push me out of the way.  I'm going behind the screen.

Top Class coverage guys   , can't believe you are still going strong  

[Djinn]

Ta scottm!  We are getting a regular fix of sugar from the dessert menu... and there are three of us (I silently cheer snoopy's energy reservoir, which is seemingly bottomless, although he's actually sitting down now instead of hovering round the table).  It's easier when six eyes are kept on a table.  Ten now that Tikay's joined us.

[Djinn]

And just like that, it's over!  Darren Grosvenor is the Midlands Masters Champion, winning £66,000!

Having just gone all-in with his 5 times chip lead, making Barny pass four hands in a row, Barny took the initiative on the button with  .  But Darren Grosvenor found  As !

The board came a very final  Ah and Barny Boatman finishes in 2nd place, for £34,600.

Congratulations to them both, and everyone who's played through this lengthy Day Two of the £1500 event.

In Paul Traynor's case he bought in for $30 dollars.  He won a $10 sat, rebuying twice into a $100 super sat in which he didn't rebuy.  So he has spun £17 or thereabouts into £19,000!!

[NoflopsHomer]

And well done to Jen and Snoops for doing so well on the stamina front

[snoopy1239]

A big thank you to Dani, Zak and all the staff who made this such a successful comp.

And a massive thumbs up to the local hero, Darren Grosvenor, whose pockets are now slightly heavier than they were when he arrived.

 

It's goodnight from me, and it's goodnight from Jen... and AlrightJack... and Tikay.

We're like the Four Ronnies. 

[scottm]

Goodnight and thanks to the 4 of you
