Jon Sponks update pls mr end. Gwan Sammy grinder!!!

Well he is on the most active and chipped up table

To his right Sunny Nagi and he is raising into Grafton, Darren Annis and Sida Yuen

Rough stack sizes

Nagi 85,000

Spinks 45,000

Grafton 60,000

Annis 35,000

Yuen 110,000

[smashedagain]

Sami Mahmoud and Stephen Mills play out a 70,000 pot. All in pre Mahmoud   and Mills  

Mahmoud spikes the   on the flop.

Next hand the now short stacked Mills shoves   and Bruno Fernandes in the big blind calls with  

flop  

thank you and goodnight, Stephen


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Meanwhile I arrive at table Anthony Kennedy to see him check call 4,500 from Peter Charalambous, from the small blind, on a turn of a


  board

Pot size 6,000ish


River   and Kennedy leads for 6,000 into 15,000

Charra thinks. He has about 20,000 left


As he is thinking Kennedy pipes up

"Have you got deuces?"

"threes?"

Pause

"Tell me what you've got and I will tell you what you should do"

As soon as he finishes his sentence Charra flicks in the call, and before the chips hit the felt Kennedy exclaims "NUTS!"

and shows  

Definitely feel the speechplay got him a call, there

"i got you. under my skin"

good work rich....another round with tighty on table sponks/sida/sunny pls

[TightEnd]

Robert Boon raises and Stephen Eames shoves 15,000 from the big blind. Called

Boon 

Eames 

board runs out  to double Eames up


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Plenty of post flop pots on the Nagi table

Arriving on a board of   

five way pot

Grafton leads for 2,100 into 3,000. Yuen calls. Nagi calls on the button. Both blinds fold

All check the  turn

river 

check check and Nagi bets 3,750

Both Grafton and Yuen seem to find difficulty in folding but do so


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Down to 8 tables in one tournament area, which makes it easier for me

Newly onto downstairs tables are Praz Banzi with 30,000 and Ian Gascoigne with 70,000


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Dangerous players grinding along but with below average stacks are Rob Sherwood and Andrew Teng. Toby Lewis approaching an average stack


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Three Team Sky Pokers remain Dan Brown, Wayne Rideout and WPT Mag editor Jon Young. Cottonbud Williams went before the last break

Would love to Jeff but it simply takes to long to complete a round, I'd have a blank update for about half an hour by the time I'd written it up

If it helps I think its the feature table on AWOP's live stream

I am around that table most when not at the laptop, as it is certainly the one with the interesting dynamics

it is the feature table. keep spotting you wander past. the camera adds X pounds

[TightEnd]

Good fun around these tables

Toby Lewis stands up and I say to him

"Alright Toby?"

"Yes still in shock"

"What thay you are still in?" I ask without thinking

"No" thankfully he misses my humour

"That ten Nine hand"

"Yes" I say "fun hand"

"Must mean I am terrible" he says

Jim Reid pipes up "No, it means I am"

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Sam Grafton raises to 1,600 on the button

and the rather expressionless Darren Annis pops it to 4,000 in the small blind

Grafton 4 bet shoves for a lot

He says to Spinks, as Annis is contemplating

"No one on this table knows my record in $24 comps"

Spinks looks at him

Grafton smiles an enormous smile

"Yeah I final the $24 4pm HORSE on Full Tilt for fun. He'd pass if he knew that"

Annis passes and Grafton shows the corner of a  to his mate Craig MacCorkell railing

OK no hands caught on that last sortie into enemy territory so its break time

End of 8 levels

58 of 157 left

Average 40,600

blinds in the last level of the day will be 500-1000/100

Chip counts when I have them


Back in 15

Please stay with the update for the last level and post away, it would be most appreciated. Take my mind off the aches and pains of two days in semi darkness hunched over a laptop!
