Luton Main Event - DAY TWO

[tikay]

Good luck to Matt, bring home the bacon

The curse of the "Good Luck" Bok continues.......

Details on the way from Mrs Merton, but I'm sorry to say, b4matt - Matt Tyler - is OUT.

Double elimination News Now -

Matt Tyler is 16th place finisher; on other table Bhupinder Kohli is 15th place finisher -

Matt ran into the brick wall of Luke Patten, who, in his own words (and those of some others) "Just can't fold."  He set up a nice tasty squeeze play preflop, with , but it was the wrong person to squeeze and Luke's  hit after he called the all-in.  Hard luck Matt - whoever just wished you luck clearly bokked you.

Good effort Matt, unlucky mate.

Good going Matt....Next stop Ireland...xx

Brian Sadler is a Luton old timer!

An almost every nighter, sometimes with his two twenty something sons Ryan and Scott, he is the runaway leader of the Luton poker league

A lovely guy and a mean player, I belive he now makes his living, having retired, from sports betting..horses especially

Field starting to thin out now, but there is a Dinner Break end of this Level - maybe 30 minutes from now, so I don't see us reaching the Final until maybe 10pm or 11pm.

But so what, we got all night, & these Luton Main Events always run the full distance.

It would be a real fairytale were John Murphy to reach the final

John own his own carpet fitting company run out of Hitchin. An occasional player live, maybe once or twice a fortnight, this is by far and away his biggest comp having qualified in a satellite

Hows about we try an ante bok for a difference. I hope that Milky bar kid gets knocked out soon

[TightEnd]

and, before I shut up for a bit, I must say its great to see so many Luton locals in the latter stages....its a great place to play, the standard is tough and its a great grounding for the Uk circuit

JP may be a special case, but we can just about still call him a Luton local too....

Am a very good friend of John Murphy's, we both live in Hitchin - he has made a lot of money from on-line tournaments - but you are right - this is the biggest 'live' event he has ever been in - he is a good solid player who is not afraid to go when necessary - am just about to leave to get to casino to support him

Good luck to your guys too

[thachipmover]

JP is a special case
