Rubdown for Blatch and Jonesy imo.
Tikay knows they don't need luck!
What I want to know is if LeKnave and Blatch get into a flip- WHO WILL WIN?
board will run out a royal flush ldo

wiiiiiiiiiii mincash!
9th = £1150, =£115 to cos and £230 to blatch. if you could both send me your bank details i'll get the money shipped asap.
i went back on day 2 2nd in chips (i think) and had a good first couple of levels, building up to around 110k - mainly through standard blind stealing plus a couple of 3-bet spots and a really nice river value bet against jon butters. got knocked down to about 45k after 4-betting with KT to put blatch all in, he made a nice call with 99 and held, leaving me with just over 20bbs with 12 remaining. the next 3 exits all came quite quickly actually and we were down to a final before i found a spot to get my chips in! the final lasted all of about 5 hands for me when, as the shortstack with 11-12 bbs, i moved in on the button with
and got called by blatch's
. gg me.
i think i played pretty well overall, obv got lucky when allin with queens against james keys' aces - but that was the only time i was all in apart from my exit hand. the field was better than many of us expecting. with only 82 runners making the trip, most of the familiar faces were there but perhaps 30 less weaker players than some of us anticipated. obviously its always frustrating to make the final and not go big but, as always, it only takes a couple more key pots to go your way (race vs blatch, aq<aj w/25 left for 3.5xaverage) when you're deep and it could be a different story - thats not a moan btw, anyone playing tournaments has to accept that big cashes often rely on spots out of your, or anybody's, control.
anyways, thanks for the stake guys, glad i could give you at least a small return. wp blatch and also matt, who i met for the first time this weekend - thought he played well and was a nice guy to boot.

You sure it was Matt?
Unlikely Mike, particularly against Blatch. In future I would advise getting it in against him with overpairs only as the last time he missed 3+ outs was the middle of 2004

What's this "standard blind stealing" of which you speak? I thought you just got loads of good hands.
Was good to meet you this weekend mate. WP and unlucky not to go further.
The AJ<AQ hand was pretty brutal. Would've made you huge and I think with that stack you would've run over the table. I don't think you lay down on that A34 board with an extra 100k behind for a start.
See you again soon.
Matt

For a gala event this was a very sick field!!! And the last two tables are pretty sick too
some quality there for sure. gl Evilpie
Yeah, good luck all the blondes still in, especially Dewi, Sam Trickett, & Matt. We have In-Poker there today, so I've ordered extra "anti-shine" powder for Matt's head, for when we do his Exit Interview.
im hurt
Ugh, apologies for omitting Blatch & Dave Jones.
We missed the start, as we were filming at the Castle, & by the time we returned, Dave Jones was, sadly, no more. Blatch blundered on though - nice blundered, but blundered - in one of the funniest Finals I've ever seen, where the rule appeared to be "get it in bad". Played in terrific spirit, too.
With half the Finalists remaining, Brammer (Branmer?), Perrins, Blatch & Trickett all looked the class acts they are, & Butters was being slightly over-run, but he's better than he looks, I fancy. He's off to Macau next, too. Very nice.

Yeah Butters was no mug. Certainly not easily outplayed.
I was sat to his right for a long time on Saturday evening and he made my life tough when he was short stacked.
I had to alter my range significantly as he was happy to shove the lot in until he got his double up.
Nice guy too. Not too happy about him calling for Blatch's 8 against me but never mind, I'll forgive him.

Urgh pls don't tell me that's true. Tilts the living fk out of me. Someone did that to Akenhead last year at the WSOP on the final table. Ghey
You should check out his blog. Smart guy - he's programmed his own bot to play for him online.

Sadly it's true.
He did it again on Saturday when I was all in with AK against A8.
