Daniel Rudd is top 10 in chips.

Remember him from this?

http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/event.php?a=r&n=27631

Does he post here?

Lordy Lordy, yes, of course I do, great great lad. That was about his first decent bink, & the first time I had met him. He was a blonde already then.

Look at those names! That must have been one of Mr Bedi's earliest Live cashes. To be honest, I have no recollection of George being there.

You'll have to pardon the oh-so-rare opportunity to chirp, but that was their May Fessie, & on top of that 3rd on the Thursday, I also won the Main, which started on the Friday. Actually, more likely, reading the result, I chopped it.

I flopped a set against the late Dave Smith & busted him, but the kid "Koky Yu" (yup, that was his real name) was a right handful. We played cash afterwards, & he got about £1,500 back from me, & more from Compo.

Compo & I were doing "Poker Week" there, for next door, it was all a bit surreal for me to be the winner of an Event we were covering for TV. Probably the last time I did something I could chirp about.

We tried to record the "wrap" on the balcony, overlooking the greyhound track (there was a meeting on), & had to do some 30 takes, every time we hit our stride, "So that's it from Poker Week here in Sheffield" the stadium PA would make an announcement about some nonsense.

This went on for nearly 45 minutes, before we realised we were having our leg lifted, Lawrence Gosney had teed up the PA man to speak every time Compo started his outro.
 
http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/event.php?a=r&n=27632

That's a fantastic story.
 
Haven't seen Mr Gosney in a while. I was railing him when he won his bracelet beating one of the most obnoxious American players around, Dustin Woolf, who is currently spending some time at one of Obama's finest jails. My heart bleeds for him. Not.

Was/is Lawrence in Vegas?

Thanks Keith. I sometimes wish I could forget forums & just write stories every day. I've loved Blogging from Vegas, but there are just not enough hours in the day.

I was there when Lawrence binked too, & when Mr Arsey American decided to start with his speech play on Gosney, we all snap knew he was dead in the water, Gosney minced him, rinsed him, & spat him out. Why is Woolf in Prison? Drug related?

I have not spotted Lawrence in Vegas this year, no. He just does his own thing, usually on impulse. Very wealthy man actually. He used to kill the £20-ers up in Bradford & Sheffield, win them night after night, & was an amazing Padooki player, the Padooki games up there were well big.

Naps Sheffield was very popular then, & the Notts lads always came up & we'd have a meal before, Thewy, Jamie Moult, Red-Dog, Ralphy Boy, Ian Oldershaw & Co. The Blackpool lads used to come across, too, plus there were a whole bunch of bent buggers who played there.

Whoops, Episode 27 of all Our Yesterdays there, I'll confine them to my diary in future.

Good times. I bought a hand held fan too, not a gay looking one, a proper gadgetty thing, think thewy and i both got one in brookstone in vegas. it was a god send in Naps and Gala.

Those chips were awful, covered in filth and yes why have a 25, 50, 100, 200 and 500 denom chip!? The stacks were so shallow, the lot used to go in most hands anyway

He was in fact in the Rio yesterday, but he was not playing.

I have stolen this story from next door with a little adaption - different audience - as I'm juggling Updates on both sites, but as I wrote it, I guess it's OK. Wink

What would you do here?

 Marc's table is the absolute centre of attention, it is by the ropes, there is a HUGE rail,, plus ESPN are there with 3 cameras, a sound man with his "boom" microphone, all the gubbins, it's hard to even get near it.

It includes three great players & 3 very good players, three of the players cover Marc, & thay are all going at it hammer & tongs, 3 & 4 betting pre every hand, no quarter asked or given, it is THE most exciting thing to watch, attack attack attack.

So, Marc opens, as per, & picks up a caller from Mr Hat.

Marc c-bets the flop & turn, & after much deliberation, checks the river.

Mr Hat now fires out a mini-bet, 37,000 into about 90,000.

Marc thinks for ages, stares his man down, Hat stares back, + a bit of speech play from Hat. I don't now if Marc is gonna raise him, fold, or call with 9 high or some equal spanners.

Eventually, Marc lets go.

And then this happens......

Marc has pushed his cards towards the Dealer, face down, ditto the winner.

But now an ESPN guy with a little Z50 camera or similar (a hand-held mini-camera) wants to SEE the two hands.
 
So the Dealer touches the muck with Marc's hand to "kill it", & Marc is given his cards back. The cameraman now gets Marc to show his "dead" hand to the mini-camera.

Nobody else can see them. Rinse repeat for Mr Hat's hand.

Bear in mind that the players sign a Disclaimer saying that ESPN MAY record the action, film the table etc, but I very much doubt - in fact I am sure - they cannot "force" a player to reveal his hand.
 
In those circumstances, would YOU show your hand to the camera?

Me? No chance, forget that. Maybe I'm just stubborn, but why should I? 


They were doing the same thing last year. I think it was Rupert who refused to show his cards after seeing Patrik Antonius refuse to show his cards a little while earlier. Rupert was given a penalty for not showing.

Do the players get any fee for showing, or for the inconvenience & intrusion?
