GUKPT Walsall: Day 1

[TightEnd]

Great updates Rich.

Do you know how Tod went - u prev said he was still around in final level of 1a but doesn't seem to have made it?

Afraid not, it was hectic with two flights on the go

APAT wise Martin, Boyd still going strong here

Those 2 are a given! GL to both

Mole Boyd up over 50,000

Boyd led 4,000 on a -Kh-4h flop, then instacalled the button's 16k push, saying, sheepishly "I've got the nuts here, like..."

His opponent showed -9h,

Mullered by Boyd's Ah-3h.

As he scooped in the pot Steven Warburton called "Blessed!" and dissolved into Kindergarten giggles

"Steven - I had the nuts on the flop," Boyd remonstrated in mock high dugdeon.

[TightEnd]

Praz Banzi 3 bet shoves K-J trying to get raiser Ben Carpenter off his hand

No joy, as Carpenter calls all in for a similar 25,000 stack with Ace King

For Carpenter, it was not the top of the world, but yesterday once more as a Jack fell on the flop and knocked him out

Banzi now dangerous with 50,000 above average

[TightEnd]

Mo Muse is up to his party tricks again, playing a big draw aggressively against Terry Mitford


Mitford 2200 on the button

Muse 5500 in the small blind

Mitford 15400 4 bet

Muse flats, out of position

flop 

Muse open shoves, covering Mitford and is snap called by 

Muse 

turn 

river 


Mitford up to 54,000

Muse down under 20,000

[TightEnd]

Mo Muse gets his last 15,000 in with 6-6

Mike Ellis A-A lying in wait behind

No Go for Mo and he exits in Slow Mo, somewhere to go.

Play is concluding for today last 5 hands

Thank heavens for that


31 left, 35 from earlier so, 66 or so co ming back for 2pm tomorrow


I am so tired that if Kate Middleton's sister wandered into the Holiday Inn Express reception at 4am and offered herself to me for the evening I would politely decline and prefer sleep.

However, its no sleep til chipcounts, its the Tighty and blonde way


So, I am about to go into battle with recalcitrant GUKPT organisers to get those counts to you asap


Shaping up to be a decent day tomorrow


Dan Morgan has offered to help out with updating tomorrow. Little does he know that "offering to help out" commits him to 16 hours at my beck and call.
