Ali Zhini here, other side of the dealer from Shola
He went deep in the deepstack last month and Sree Vram is one of the early players this month
Sree Vam opens to 700 UTG+1 and gets three callers
the flop comes and actionjack in the blinds checks to him
He leads and gets one caller, Niren Hndocha on the button
turn
Vam bets again and is called
river
Vam checks and after a decent think Hindocha bets 6000, about 2/3 of the pot
Vam calls with a resigned air, flicking one chip into the middle and revealing for flopped broadway
Hndocha shows him for the flopped royal flush draw and rivered flush to win a 21,000 pot
and the latest entrant is Ali Mallu
just before the break small blind Richard Paul raised into his big blind
call
Paul 800, call
Paul 1400, call
Paul 2100
Mallu raises him to 6500 and Paul furrows his brow
He eventually folds and Mallu shows him
Anthony Nicholls limps as does the button and Albert Sapinao then raises to 3200 in the small blind
Nicholls in the only caller
Sapiano 3000, call
Sapiano all in, a big over-bet as he has a big stack already
Nicholls exhales and thinks, and thinks
Albert begins chattering
“It’s a re-entry, what are you waiting for?”
“I thought the last card was a spade actually”
“I’ve got two pair, I’ll tell you that”
Nicholls eventually folds and Sapiano shows him for quads
Matt Harris opens to 1000
Malcolm McKinlay makes it 2000
Danish Gandhi calls
Albert Sapiano calls
Anthony Nicholls calls in the small blind
Eleanor Gudger all in for 17,000 big blind
After a couple of folds Gandhi calls and Anthony Nicholls calls all in
so a three way showdown
Gudger has J-J
Gandhi has called with 9-9
Nicholls has overcalled, covered by Gandhi with A-Qss
and it comes 9-8-8 to knock both out and send Danish Gandhi into the chip lead in level 4

Mo Muse opens to 1100 at 250-500
David Johnson calls on the button
Jason Wood calls in the big blind
Muse c-bets and is called by both
check to Johnson in position and he bets a chunky 4800, around a pot sized bet
Wood folds, Muse check calls
Muse checks
Johnson “anyone but you i bet again, but you are capable of taking off with all sorts” and checks showing which is good
of the first flight there are 52 players so far, with registration open to 6.40pm
the next flight begins at 7pm
of the 2pm flight is Danish Gandhi with 170,000
This is Alan Picken, the last of the 52 entries into the first flight
He’s had quite a month. Won Grand Prix Poker Tour Cardiff and then on successive weekends won Caribbean Poker Party packages.
Might as well ride the wave while it lasts, and go and win this…
Just starting in the 7pm is Cat Winch-Johnson, a music teacher by day and gatherer of chips by night.
Now that’s a look that means business. Northampton’s Mo Muse, a talented active player with a stare and a half…
Shola Deadman’s stack has been see-sawing. First she called the all in from Kelly Saxby’s small stack with A-10 and found herself against Jacks. She flopped a ten and rivered an Ace to send Kelly in the direction of the 7pm flight
Next time i passed Shola’s table she was herself all in, covered by David Stonehouse and with Jacks again, this time against Ace-King
Jacks held on a 9-8-6-7-9 board to send her to an above average stack with 25 of 52 remaining in level 8 of the first flight
