With 365 left and down to 38 tables there is a bit of room for me to get around now
I passed one table as John Kitchen raised to 10,500 at 2500-5000
Sylvia Hewitt made it 25,000 on the button
Kitchen paused an called
both playing 200-250k
the flop came 6-Q-8 rainbow
Kitchen checks
Hewitt 10,000
Call
Sylvia raises an eyebrow and peers across at her opponent, quizzically
turn J. still no flush draws
Kitchen check calls 25,000
Sylvia repeats the eybrow trick.
river 7
check, check
Sylvia flips over Aces
When Kitchen mucks she says “Oh, i won, i was convinced you were trapping me with something”

also
Anthony Arlott
Gordon Goodall
Terence Etim
John Sadler
Ryan Hames
David Graves
all over double average
still a way off the cash, and with the average 30x bb+ a while still yet
It’s getting to that stage for a lot of players, playing 10-30x bb
Matt Eardley raised playing 350,000 in the cut off, over a limper, to 30,000
Jim Moult in the big blind is playing 170,000 and looks down at
He shoves, the limper folds and Eardley has a ticklish one with
he calls and the flop is a fun one for the watcher
Moult is still live, needing a diamond or ten
turn
river
and he misses and is out
Puts Eardley in a very healthy position
Alan Vinnicombe opens to 25,000 and finds one caller.
The 6, 9, 10 flop incites Alan to ask his opponent
‘How much have you got?’
With haste his opponent flicks out a 100,000 chip from the bottom of his tower of 5K’s.
‘Ah, that’s a 100K. 100,000 please.’ As Alan makes his C bet.
His opponent sigh folds to which Alan flashed two picture cards as he folds telling the player to his right ‘It was two Kings.’
these names may be familiar to you, amongst the field left in
Skalie is battling away with a sub average stack. He had A-Q v 2-2 on A-Q-2, an unavoidable spot which doubled up his opponent and when i asked him for a chip count a few minutes later he said “B-O-W-L spells bowl” Which was helpful of him
Rob Sherwood and Dominic Kay have been on the same table all day
Andrew Hulme is on the top tier
James Ablott is on his table
Rehman Kassam is wearing a Cinese Frankie t-shirt and looks to have a nice stack
Dewi James still in, Tom High i saw
Nick Todd and Raine Hilson i saw in the distance on tables i can’t get to
Martyn Frey still in, Tina Bandyle too
Cat Winch-Johnson still in.
they are coming to a break after level 24 so i will go round the empty tables then and get some accurate chip counts
Raine Hilson has roughly 900,000 chips & is heading for the million mark.
She calls 25,000 from an early position raise and the big blind completes behind her.
The on the flop brings no action. Checks all round.
She leads for 37,000 after the on the turn, just the initial raiser finding the call.
The rolls off on the river and after a quick check of her opponents stack she sets him in.
He folds and Raine adds to her towers.
Mick Fletcher from Blackpol has become a regular at the bigger DTD Tournaments and up on table 78, right at the top of the room he had 600,000 and in a great battle with a player i haven’t seen before playing 800,000
His name is Catalia Geangos, and he has position on Mick. Unfortunately i think its a table that is due to break soon
—
there are 240 left, 130 paid by the way.
Nadeeka Victor opens to 25,000 at 6-12k and William Bishop is all in on the button for 170,000
Victor calls for most of his stack with 10-10 and exclaims when he finds Bishop has Jacks
3-K-3 flop
A Ten on the turn sees shop stand up and then depart when the Ace on the river does not save him
We have had a change in the feature with Cat Winch-Johnson and Wadey Ashraf now on our feature table here at DTD –

Dave Quince is on a table with Jonty Willis, it makes for some good entertainment.
Dave opens UTG+2, everyone folds and he shows A Q.
‘Dave is running over the table,’ quips Jonty.
I stick around for the next hand to see an open UTG and a call from Jonty.
The flop of generates plenty of action.
A 30K c-bet was met by a 3-bet from Jonty to 75K. After some time in the tank we see a 4-bet up to 155K. Jonty shoves and his opponent goes into the tank. The clock is called and eventually we see a fold.
I’ve never seen anyone so excited to turn over Aces and follow it up with:‘I need people to know I can flat with Aces.’
You heard it here first people.
