Tighty,

Tim Chung joint chip leader with 140,000

He's bust Aces 3 times and Andy Bradshaw's flopped set, each time with 10-7, he tells me


Latest hand He min raises with 

Two callers and then a now departed big blind makes it 3,200 with 

Chung the only caller

 

Check check

 

check, Chung a pot sized bet with his flush, called by the nut flush draw

river the gin card, ker-ching for chung,  to give him straight flush versus nut flush

His opponent bets half his remaining stack on the nriver, Chung sets him in and takes the rest

Andy Bradshaw 75,000

He didn't have much to report when I asked him about major hands, but he and Tim Chung are carving up a table between them

Most boring poker tournament i think i ever played.

Great atmosphere though and brilliantly run. Look forward to winning the sweepstake.

Good luck all blondes left in.

About 35,000 I think

Simon Aces Trumper

If today is anything to go by we could hit 1700 players in the UKIPT! We added 3 tables to the original 50 cap and started with 477 and got another 55 players in as alternates, tomorrow and Friday we will have 55 tables at the start so 495 per day + alternates for 6 levels so already we have 1522 players in the comp for a prizepool of £1,065,400 already in excess of the £1,000,000 guarantee

We can seat at least 200 alternates a day during the first 6 levels, we should get another 50 tomorrow and Friday we expect at least 100 so minimum prizepool is looking like £1,170,000.
Cash games are rocking, several £1 £2 No Limit £2 £2 / £5 £5 PLO and DC and a Hi Roller £10 £25 round of each with players buying in for £10,000+
Will let you know what the latest numbers are after level 6 tomorrow, really proud of the whole team here at Dusk Till Dawn for achieving this amazing feat, cheers ACES
