thanks Carolne ...pretty poor side event numbers imo ....live feed is terrific   btw  coverage world class

TYTYTY

Pretty hard to do coverage well tbh on your own, while you're typing up one hand or uploading a picture some inconsiderate player chooses to go allin so you have to stop and rush over.

Poker players - so selfish.

Cash table about to open, currently 19 people stood round it fighting over seats. Having played cash with the locals for three nights I can understand why.

How was the motorway this morning and any sign of C**k Face in the cash this today?

Motorway clear! here in record time lol and as for the cash, no sign yet, but I think his brothers, mum and grandad are all playing.

[77dave]

Maybe he signed in using an alias

[mouth]

Amy Trodd has doubled up shoving with A7 and hitting a seven on the flop against Adam Lawler's call with AK

Amy now with well over two million chips

[mouth]

Adam was left as table whipping boy with just 400K but doubled up next hand when he shoved and got a call from Niels Lapelgod.

Pino still the chip daddio

are the blinds 12/24k with a 5k ante right now? biggest ante ever?

[mouth]

are the blinds 12/24k with a 5k ante right now? biggest ante ever?

Yes they really are! I did go an double check to make sure I had it right, but definitely 5k.

[TightEnd]

Adam Lawler the short stack raises the button to 175,000 at 25-50k with about 500,000 behind

Nils Ladegod flats on the small blind

Pino Valentino makes it 750,000 in the big blind


Adam agonises and says to Nils

"You've got me intro trouble here, allowed him to make that move"

He passes after several minutes, Nils passes and Pino shows  


"I know you've got an Ace, so have I" says Adam, agitated, "show me the other one"

Pino shows him the   and Adam's eyes go skyward

[mouth]

are the blinds 12/24k with a 5k ante right now? biggest ante ever?

Yes they really are! I did go an double check to make sure I had it right, but definitely 5k.

Although the blinds are now 25K/50K... oops sorry

[mouth]

Adam allin with As 10s

Called by Amy Trodd with A9

although there's a 9 on the flop for Amy there are also two spades..

another spade on the turn seals it for Adam's double up, now up to about 1.1million, while Amy down to under a million.

[TightEnd]

Right, catching up we have 6 left at 25-50k

Pino 2.5m

Nils 1.75m

Giovanni 1.45m

Adam and Amy 1m each

Keith 750,000



who do we have winning this?


Pino has a great record in bigger events, doesn't travel to too many but always gets there. Won the GUKPT Grand Prix in Walsall in its biggest year for over £100,000, so he has form at the business end...

[mouth]

Amy allin with against Keith's first hand of the day

Flop comes



on river.. Amy thought they were chopping with a straight on board but she actually takes the lot with a one card flush

Keith down to less than 200K

[TightEnd]

Keith Miller is out in 6th winning £5,000

He pushes his last 200,000 in with A-2 off

Adam Lawler in the big blind calls with A-3

J-10-8-A they are splitting, until...3 on the river to do for Keith

[mouth]

 Pino pushes with A 5

Called by Amy in BB with AK

Board runs out 4 9 8

Turn 5 for Pino followed by a cheeky King on the river for Amy to take her back up to well over 2 million chips and Pino down to around 700K

[TightEnd]

and Pino immediately doubles back up

Nils opens, Pino shoves and Nils calls

Nils 6-6

Pino J-J

Jacks hold and Pino is back to the relative safety of 1.5m
