BlueSq.com GUKPT Manchester: Day 1B

[TightEnd]

David Bielby is hanging in there with 12,000

Chris Martin just took a nice pot off Moorman junior, Moorman junior folding to a bet on the turn having raised pre and met resistance in the blinds

Burnley John still has 50,000. He is two seats away from an equally chipped up Kenny Burke, and the same table as fatmarra. Quiet it is not.

Paul Ephremsen is still going ok, over 20,000 and steady

Glenn Ashworth is a player who often goes deep in these, he is well placed again with 30,000 or so

Osman Mustanglou and Farie Badmansour are old adversaries from the Midlands and are sat side by side with similar 20,000 stacks

Womble has 21,000. Haven't seen him play a hand to get there when I've walked past, but he won't be giving those chips up lightly

PI Nick Slade is out, limp reraising all-in with A-K against a guy holding Q-Q and the 0804 card which indicates it's Ian Nelson, but it's clearly not. Gah.

John Richards has been knocked out by Charles Ihle, all-in on a board with but up against which held on the turn and river, though Glenn Ashworth rued folding on the flop.

Jonathan Heath raises to 1,025 from midposition and Ramsey Ajram makes the call in the big blind.



Check, check.



Ajram bets 1,525. Think...and call.



Check, check. Ajram, disgusted, flips up . Heath mucks then told me he had Tens with the ...

Players are now on a short break.

[James Bagley]

thanks for the update, lets go Powell.

That guy next to him is a complete tool btw if it's the one I'm thinking of. might not be. Talks a load of shit and is universally hated if its the same guy, my apoligies if not.

Much love lads, loving your work

btw Toby Lewis is on a SICK run I'm not surprised if he takes this down. then the WSOP main event despite not being 21. srs. I'd stake him against Chuck Norris right now.

Greg 'Crestofawave' Howard is still grinding away with about 9k.

Meanwhile a big pot, biggest of the night so far just occurred.

Jonathan McCann raised to 1,625 and was called by Mohammed Shoahebe and Chi Nguyen.



McCann bets 3,000. Shoahebe raises to 6,200 and Nguyen reraises to 15,200. McCann gets out of the way and Shoahebe quickly moves all-in for about 30k more. Nguyen tanks and asks, "Do you have a set?" Eventually he calls.

Shoahebe:
Nguyen:





Nguyen finally exhales as he wins a 100k pot. He has his opponent covered by about 1,000 chips and the double-average-at-the-break Shoahebe is out.



I love how non-plussed Jim Reid is by it all.

Moorman action

Moorman 2 first

He raises to 1800 UTG and is called in the big blind by Iqbal Ahmed

on a flop of  Iqbal check raises papa's 2,000 bet to 6,000 which is called

turn  check check

river  check check

Moorman 2 shows down    to scoop

Iqbal's cards are asked to be shown by a player and he reveals a sheepish 


Moorman1 meanwhile called an 1800 raise from Waseem Shahid in late position

they both checked the  flop

turn  and Moorman 1 raises the 2,500 bet to 6,500 which is called

Shahid checks the  river and with a dismissive wave Moorman1 says "all-in" leading to a pass some minutes later from Shahid



Here's Moorman 2 playing the top hand, Ahmed to his right

[NoflopsHomer]

Greg Howard has doubled up through Chi Nguyen with Queens against Ace Jack, in the last half hour he's gone from about 8k up to a much more comfortable 25k. 72 players remain.

[amcgrath1uk]

[Chompy]

Paul Ephremsen texted me a few minutes ago to say he's got 67k. All aboard the handsome express, woo woo
