GUKPT Luton Day 2

[George2Loose]

Where's feldmans full tilt badge?

[Doobs]

iaron lightbourne and danny balir updates please

both in the top ten stacks, comfortably

imo lightbourne has by far the tougher table, but he has position on Akenhead and Nick Hicks which helps and he is raising into Tony Bedford and Jim Lody, two of the old school who like to play comparatively passively. Lightbourne is active, lots of feeler pre-flop raises and seems to have a nice touch post flop. Knows where he is in pots

Would agree with this.  He was on my table for most of day 1, was really impressive.  He looked the best player on the table from where I was sitting.  Deserves his big stack

[TightEnd]

Bharat Joshi still going strong, 175,000 and looking at home in this exalted company. Hasn't co-tabled with jonnyplum yet though

Irian Lightbourne opens and Michael Huber calls on the button

Lightbourne passes but Huber calls immediately with 7-7

MacDonald A-J

Danny Harris wins a 90,000 pot off Stephen Rawle

Rawle raised with A-10 in late position and Harris called with 8-8 in the blinds

Harris flopped middle set and check called two streets on 5-8-3-4, two clubs by the turn

the river came the Jack of clubs.

Harris checked again and faced 25,000 on the river into 40,000. The third bullet on a bluff

He called, despite the flush draw completing, and won the pot

[TightEnd]

Tony "Shagpile" Herdman is one of two surviors in the live qualifier last man standing, with Tony Curant. Entry to a GUKPT to the winner


He shoves 41,000 at 1500-3000 and it folds to Andrew Feldman in the big blind

"I will call if I have Aces" says Feldman, a clue to the tightness of Herdman in this level


"They match" says Feldman who deliberate for several minutes eventually folding 


Herdman reveals  with elan and panache

Dave Johnson out 26th

Button opens A-5

3 bet from Lee Taylor in the big blind

Johnson 4 bet shove

Taylor calls with K-Q

Johnson loses the 60-40

'Fraid I didn't see stack sizes, saw it at the end of the hand

[TightEnd]

100,000 pot played out between George Hassabis and Feldman

I joined the action with the board reading 

In position and checked to, Hassabis has bet 31,200 into 70,000

Feldman peeks at  , which I think he has opened pre and seen action on flop and turn

After time he folds....
