    578 is the number after 6 levels

    now on a 20 minute break

    late reg finishes then

    605 the magic number


    think there is a split dinner break coming, the logistics of timing the run for the front of the queue with 600 people in the building will take some planning

    Got above starting stack for about ten minutes. I liked it, made a really good fold that kept me and then got KK vs AA the next hand.

    Well I've paid for 200k of chips and currently have 140k. Getting there

    i take the opportunity to play along with tikay, and you can too... Jonathon Wroe raises on the button to 800 at 200-400 tikay on the button lets me peek at  Qs Qh my excitement is palpable He might not fold He raises to 2,125 in the big blind Keith Christie flats, and Wroe folds the flop comes  3h Ahrt 9c "i will check to the aggressor" says Christie (player notes need updating) so you are tikay...check or bet?

    have i missed it i would say tikay checked what did he do

    Ryan Spittles spun up his 4th bullet from 50,000 starting to 200,000 then lost a big pot, top set versus turned top set

    apparently a little tilted he then 3 bet over a Trevor Reardon cut off raise

    Reardon 3,200

    Spittles 10,000 slall blind with Ace-six off

    Reardon tank calls

    9-8-2 two clubs

    Spittles 10,000

    Reardon tank calls

    An offsuit three on the turn

    Spittles jams 58,000

    Reardon calls a few minutes later with 9-7dd

    river ten of clubs


    Ryan Spittles ‏@RyanSpittles 7m7 minutes ago

    4th entry GG. Bluff gone wrong. Got pretty hero called but still a nice call!

    45,000 = real

    85,000 = his imagination

    just before his dinner break he bet K-Q-7cc with Q-5dd and won the pot

    he must have had a brain transplant, betting middle pair on a flushing baord?

    That rather grumpy looking chap to The Ambassadors left is Mattprawn.  Said Prawn is currently back at the hotel licking his wounds! Great day nonetheless, maybe next year.  And hey, I've still got the sky poker hoodie!

    Unlucky Matt - would have loved to have met you.  Enjoy your hoodie though - I haven't got one yet and might have missed out as arrived here late.

    i spent a bit of time watching tikay's table, he has moved opposite john duthie who is showing the worryingly talented ability to name tikay's hand before he shows it at every showdown

    Quite discombobulating for the old man

    Duthie opened to 3200

    One caller

    tikay three bet to 12,000

    outside, this is the signal for birds to return north from their winter down south. a tikay three bet is a sign of warmer times ahead

    call

    call

    maximum respect

    J-4-3

    All check

    2

    all check

    Power poker from the 3 bettor

    K river

    duthie checks, the third player bets 22,000

    both fold

    "ace queen, you have ace queen" duthie postulates across the table to tikay

    tikay shows...ace-queen

    --
    same orbit

    tiikay raises and the player to his immediate left calls

    5-10-3

    check check

    6

    tikay bets 18,600

    long think, lots of chatter from both, fold

    tikay can't resist and shows...j-10dd

    which of course i had written dpown on my notepad (possibly)

    the biggest stack i have seen, which is very unscientific because there are so many tables, is Nigel Dempsey with 350,000

    700,000 is the chip leader before today but we should beat that today with this many runners consolidating down

    brilliant blogging guys, still feeling fresh even though you are over 8 hours into today's play. How many do you think will get through today? I'm guessing at 130

    89 are through before today

    about 20% get through a day so that would make 120

    maybe 200-225 back tomorrow total

    message from Simon Trumper

    DTD-ACES
    £1,002,000 ! MASSIVE THANK YOU & 8 MAX DETAILS

    What a day, we were short on qualifiers but scraped the £1M GTE, with Samuel Trickett again being the 1000th entry! Because we hit the £1M GTE, the 16 players who won £1K seats for Sky UKPC in live club events will be able to carry them over rather than have them added to the prizepool.

    I would just like to say on behalf of DTD and Sky, thanks for supporting us again, and huge thank you for all the staff who made today happen. With so many players in the £1K main and rammed to capacity, of course, we were unable to start the 8 max, so I have spent the last hour consulting with players and decided to run the 8 Max tomorrow at £500+£50 buy-in, £50,000 GTD (so half the buy-in but same number of runners). Details of 8 Max;

    Day 1A Sat 3pm
    Day 1B Turbo Sun 12pm
    Day 2 3pm
    50,000 chips / 45 minute clock
    Cheers and thanks again, one of most amazing days at the Dusk Till Dawn Poker Club

    Julian Thew has taken a couple of hits

    the first a standard AK <QQ to double a shortie up and then he was all in pre versus Wesley James, recently moved to the table

    QQ v KK. Julian with the Kings. In a reversal of the natural order of things, Wesley spiked a Queen

    Julian has under 100,000 at 1500-3000
