Ben Dobson recently returned from a long poker playing sojourn in Macau, after his big French Poker Series victory last year

Clearly the quality of fake tan in Macau is not what it is reputed to be though

all he does is holiday, he's been skiing inbetween hence the google tan!

Late entry closes

123 in today
99 last night

278 needed tomorrow to hit the £150,000 GTD

Thoughts?

The 10 seat GTD Live sat tonight only had 66 for 10 seats and change, which was a touch unexpected by me and a trifle worrying for tomorrow.....

Tom "youthnkzR" Ambler

Put some weight on Tom?

Calm down on sausage rolls!

[TightEnd]

A rather happier jjandellis

Down to 8,000 when he moved tables, now up to 80,000

Two double ups then eliminated Martyn Frey with AK v 66

Frey, Deepstack winner in January, kept being 3 bet off hands pre-flop, was so again and took a stand all in pre in a 50,000 pot

[TightEnd]

Ian Gascoigne down to 10,000 at 400-800 losing a race with 10-10 v A-Q to double up a slightly shorter stack than him, all in pre flop. Ace on the river

--

Ricky Cross has doubled to 32,000 with Q-J on 7-10-9-J-8, called on the river when he shoved by someone hoping for the chop....

[TightEnd]

Voluble and splashy chip getter Stephen Ayres

Now moved to table Goulder/Ambler.

Probably not the worst news for Alex and Tom....

Tom "youthnkzR" Ambler

Calm down on sausage rolls!

[TightEnd]

A round with Stato.

He kindly wrote it all down for me. Therefore he is the crukcx of this post. I am merely copying what he wrote

blinds 500-1000

Kenny Prazer 25,000
Tony Millan 17,000
Steven Chennells 40,000
Jack Allen 25,000
Stuart Fox 35,000
Paul Jenkinson 60,000
Joe Latimer 10,000
Marcin Milde 50,000
Vinodh Jayaraman 40,000

Hand 1 button seat 7

Millan raises to 2,000
Allen 3 bets to 4,600
Millan calls

 

check
Allen 3,800
Millan folds

Hand 2 button seat 8

Milde to 2300
Prazer calls



check
Milde 2700
Prazer folds


Hand 3 button seat 9

Fox raises to 2,200
All fold

Hand 4 button seat 1

Fox 2,300
Milde 4,800

Milde seems to be in control, chipping up nicely and owns a lot of the ante chips. I can't belive I didn't know how to spell crux. I am an Octochamp ffs

Hand 5 button seat 2

Peejay 2,000

All fold

I like Peejay's hat. Wonder if it would suit me. In a bigger size obviously

Hand 6 button seat 3

News arrives of a huge Goulder double up. He'll be even more insufferable now. At least we don't have a piano in the house.

Peejay 2,000. All fold

Peejay gets moved table

Going to miss his boyish good looks

Hand 7 button seat 4

Millan 2,200
Latimer all in, in need of a double up
All fold

Hand 8 button seat 5

Millan all in
Vinodh tanks

Millan says "Fold, Barry Neville is behind me"

Barry doesn't scare me, anyway. Though he would probably finish a Toby Carvery. I couldn't earlier

Undeterred by Barry's menacing presence, Vindoh calls

Millan 10-10
Vinodh A-Kss

Nice tank sir

Board runs out 9 high and Millan thinks he has doubled but doesn't realise he has been backdoor flushed and is out

He isn't celebrating now
