[tonytats]

There's some ugly mfers there this weekend tighty ?
Is there any more norkage ?

[TightEnd]

Julian Thew is co-tabling with Paul Skipper, he of resides in Norfolk/ frequent trips to the DTD the car-park fame and Adam Daniel, he of "please sponsor me blonde poker" fame

Not exactly a Butlins holiday camp atmosphere for the former nicest man in poker

He raises to 500 pre, called by small blind and the big blind Mohammed Fatemi

Fatemi check calls 750

turn  

check check

river  

Fatemi leads for 1400

Ant040689 is sitting to the left of LFMagic, and tells me he is coming off second best

With a set of threes Ant sees the green light to bet 3,500 into 9,000 after Fields checks the river

Fields check raises to 20,000, and Ant passes for most of his stack

Sadly Ant can't remember the board, which is a shame as it must have been an interesting spot



Fields has over 100,000 and must be chip leader

Last hand before the break, Abdul Khan picks up a much needed pot.
Flop - .
Khan shoved 9,150 into a pot of 9,100, plenty of people going into the tank before folding, the last being Adam Daniel who folded.
None of the players were happy to see Khan's , Skipper saying he wanted to call with A8 but was scared of the flush draw.

Just had a chat with Rob Yong, who has told me that the March Deepstack will be £250,000 guaranteed, a super-size deepstack if you like

Same £500 buy in 2pm start Fri and Saturday

Website says 34 entries for the 20 seat live satty - still that low or has the website just not caught up??

Only 33 online too. Very tempting, but snow threatens and I'd have to be one of those anon dudes this weekend if I did  

35 entries so far - amazing value for players who can make it to the satty!

Greg Garrett opens to 700 at 100-200 ra 25

Shokat Ali calls

Dan Morgan calls on the button

This all prices in Lee Dillion to call in the big blind

  flop

Garrett leads for 700, Ali and Morgan both call

turn 

Garrett 1650, Ali raises to 4000. Morgan passes

After a think Garrett calls

river 

Garrett 5,4000 to set Ali in

Ali flicks them in with a casual abandon, a man seemingly resigned to his fate. He tables 

As he suspects, he's been outdrawn....by 

[JGill_DTD]

There was 5k in the middle on flop.
Checks to Anon on the button, makes it 3,050. James Clarke flats, Brendan O'neill shoves for 30k.
Anon snap folds, Clarke snap calls for his 20k stack.
Clarke - .
O'Neill -   .
No heart means Clarke doubles.

George Bedi wins a nice pot off Adam Daniel

board reads 

Daniel 1,400

bedi raise to 5,300

Daniel dwell call with 

Bedi  to scoop

[JGill_DTD]

3,300 In the middle on a board.
Rich Griffiths makes it 1,325, Callum Morgan to 2,900. Griffiths makes it 6,475, Morgan unimpressed folds.
Funnily enough Griffiths shrugging then showing didn't brighten Morgan up.
