on the same table as scotty77 is michael "very big player on sky poker" kane aka "style"

these two battle nightly online....

[TightEnd]

you can go around the circuit of ept's, high rollers and the like and at every festival you'll find max silver, scoring big

A new challenge for Max today though, as he is out of position to a one off, Rehman "aptly named" Kassam who posts on blonde as "massivefish"

a law student at nottingham university, rehman is indeed terrible*, so we will see how quickly max works that out

Saw a fun hand with David Stonehouse button raising at 50-100

Arjun Ruparel calls in the big blind

Ruparel check calls

and open shoves over 20,000 into a slightly smaller pot on the river

Stonehouse thinks and thinks. He is playing 28,000 behind...

and folds, flipping over 

Eek.

Ruparel shows him one card. 


Next hand Greek Jack raises and Stonehouse 3 bets

Jack calls (saving that one to notepad, might come in handy before Monday)

the flop comes 10-7-6

Jack leads out for 2,000

Stonehouse shoves and now Jack goes into the tank

He calls all in with 8-8

Stonehouse has Aces

Turn 9

Thanks for coming Mr Stonehouse, goodbye.

Update on runners as we approach the first break after two levels (playing ten levels today)

148 runners, 3 exits

146    Stephen Rawle
147    David Stonehouse
148    Aleksandras Voisnis

late reg for 4 levels each of the three day ones, though Friday is likely to start full at 450 with alternates only

Looking, would hope for Rob who had the stones to put £1m GTE up, like the biggest UKIPT prize pool event (uses clarkson voice) in the history of the world
