GUKPT London Day 2

[TightEnd]

the blinds go up now to 2000-4000/400

One of the short stacks, name withheld to protect his desperation, just came over to Dena and insisted that the clock should be paused before the blinds go up

"we've been playing for two days, the blinds should be stopped"

He received short shrift from the tousle haired TD with the temptress looks


Of course, this was within earshot of the table. Perhaps the odd raise on his big blind might be in order....

   Anthony Kennedy in the big blind checks, Pre flop raiser Jon Prested checks and caller Greg Haik checks

Turn 

Kennedy leads for 15,000 into 22,000

Prested calls

Haik bumps it to 50,000 with 120,000 behind

Kennedy looks sick, and eventually folds. 

he insists  after Prested folded

 "I'm convinced that was a good fold" he tells the table

45 minutes and counting on this bubble so far. Perhaps 10 hands in this time hand for hand

Interestingly the medium stacks sitting inert and hoping that someone will do their dirty work for them are getting dragged into this

blinds 2000-4000 so for the 10 or so stacks sub 80,000 its clenched posterior time

Amongst the big stacks, where most of the few flops are being see the chip leaders are, in no particular order

Darren Annis in the blinds calls with...K-6

Ace Six holds, Warnes goes above 40,000 and we continue on the bubble

Amazingly 70 minutes plus into the bubble

Only seen one short stack all in confrontation and he doubled

Of course as the shorties cling on the active Kimber, Karl, Banzi and the others are making hay

Jon Spinks is also right slap bang in the mix. Anyone would think he'd played bubble periods before.

We have a scheduled break in 7 minutes, and chip counts will follow then

blinds next hit 3000-6000/500. That will be crunch time

[TightEnd]

Oh

they are playing no break and no blind increase til we break the bubble

Oh
