edited December 2013 in Poker Chat

As many of you know, the £1,000 UKIPS Six Max is currrently taking place @ DTD in Nottingham, & there are three x Day Ones.

Yesterday was the 2nd of these, & it was one of THE most star-studded fields ever assembled in the UK for such an event, with big names galore.
 
The Day 1b Chip Leader, with 156,000, was none other than David Price. I'm pretty sure that he is a Sky Poker & SPT regular, David Price. If I've got the right chap, he's a smashing lad, too. I think he plays as "Diamond81" on Sky Poker.  

He has a rest day today, then returns for Day 2 tomorrow (Saturday), then, hopefully, Day Three on Sunday, & the Final on Monday.

His progress can be followed in the usual places, & either I, or any other Sky Poker regulars who are following the action, will try & keep you updated on this thread.

Get it done Dave, & fly the flag.

    Good morning.

    This seemed a long time ago, but Day 2 only played out yesterday, & it was one of the strongest Day Two Fields I've ever seen in the UK.

    David went about his work nice & queitly all day, & is still there.

    Of the 453 (I think) runners, just 31 survived Day Two, & all of them are guaranteed a minimum of £2,800, with the winner getting a nice round £100,000. 

    David has a very playable 201,000, with blinds at 3,000-6,000 when play resumes today.

    They play down to a Final today, then the Final is tomorrow, Monday.

    Play resumes @ Noon, & if possible, I'll try & keep you updated, but I am doing the Show tonight, so I won't be able to follow it much beyond mid-afternoon.

    Perhsps other regulars will keep us updated, if the David Price Express remains on the tracks.

    From me, & I'm sure most of us here, well done for getting so far, David, & let's hope for a bit of run good today.

    And they have just resumed after the break.  20 good and true.  BTW John Eames went out a little before the break.  This helps pretty much everyone.

    Simon Deadman out in 20th, getting his short stack in, binking and being rebinked.  Again, this helps everyone, the man is a beast and yet another deep run.  I think I will be repeating myself regarding the praise for the busted, this field is insane and further testament to how well Dave has and is doing.

    yh final 14, Diamond is battling on, no idea of chip count just at the mo though.

    Spraggons knocked out by Sykes to finish 15th.  That's like the bit in Power Rangers where two scary monsters merge to form a super scary monster.

    Gulp.

    My man on the ground has informed me Dave is still going with 12 left.  Final two tables and six bags of sand in the boot.  Terrific stuff.

    A reminder, they are playing down to 6 today.  And at this rate most of these grinders will be able to do most of their Sunday schedule.  Which I'm sure is the most important thing to them right now obviously.

    As they head into a break we are still 12 handed.  News from the non-Diamond table.  Chris Brammer has been chipping up from being one of the short stacks dozen left to one of the chip leaders.  I wonder if he's ever made a final table of something this big before....

    Mr Highly Compressed Carbon is on 730k as we head into 8k/16k.  His table is pretty even in terms of stacks, no one yet over a million.  Three Milli stacks all sit on the other table.  Bust outs and the hectic pace seems to have slowed as stacks flatten out and that final table is in sight, it's going to be an intriguing end to the day here.
