DTD Grand Prix 3: £80,000 GTD

[blue monk]

have to leave the rest of the reporting to Tightend as I'm now sitting at home grinding away trying to recoup a £55 buy in

[George2Loose]

Bit of update - of the 25 out by level 2 - at least 4 were ko'd by Pete Linton.
He reraised his first hand to 1000 (L1) and said how here was here to gamble. Due to him raising or reraising every hand the table played like everyone thought everyone else was also bluffing. He ko'd 3 in L1 - he reraised a flop bet on a 477 flop and showed his 5x pre flop raise was with 27. Our hero reporter already lost half his stack with all the lunacy going on so then shoved Lintons next open raise all in for 40 odd BB's - Linton rivered it to take another 1 down and increase his stack to 55K and be 1/6 of his way to his stated target of 300k for end of play tonight. He might just do it.

Keep us posted. We're on the edge of our seats here

That was a bit miserable. I thought it was a good post- what's a live update thread for if not live updates?

Either that or you actually are on the edge of your seat, in which case my sarcasm detector is broken.

Linton's gonna Linton

Nah was just playing, due to the "He might just do it bit"

Wont post again on here, sorry, probably too miserable lol

[blue monk]

didnt mean to confuse - that was valid as at 8pm - I'll post again Dubai - been meaning to post for a while and thought this might be interesting/useful/helpful. I have no journalistic qualifications but it was all factually correct. Next post will be on BBV.

Hi Guys

Here is my first daily report from the Grand Prix.


Day 1A of the Grand Prix III has come to a close, after 10 x 30 minute levels, the 296 runner field has been reduced to 70 players who will be returning for day 2 on Saturday. The average stack is 42,285 and the current chip leader is Michael Holmes with 137,100. There were 44 online qualifiers who chose to play day 1A who each received a Golden Chip at the start of play, which would entitle them to an additional £5000 should they make the final table. Eight of which have made it through to day 2. Dusk Till Dawn already holds the record for the biggest tournament field in the UK at 1058 set at the UKIPT. The guarantee for the Grand Prix III is 1600 players, and with 4 day 1’s to go Friday is already sold out and the current number of entries is 1185, so our previous record will be smashed.

 

The atmosphere in the club was fantastic tonight with everyone saying what an amazing experience the Grand Prix is with the opportunity to play a low buy in event with a deepstack structure and a huge prizepool. If you wish to join the action and play Tuesday to Thursday you can buy in online up until 6pm each day, there are already 183 registered for tomorrow and we expect at least 300.

Cheers

Keep this sort of stuff coming please. Too late for Mr Bluemonk, who was told to go away in essence by one member, but this is not what I want. More reports, more updates please by anyone who plays Tues-Thurs

Mr BlueMonk, if you see this, apologies. Please post more.

Pliton dusted them off quickly enough to go deep in PLO 1r1a for 5.5k. MBN

GL to all other blondes playing today.
