250 left in, so they will publish it shortly. I hope.
£36,000 for 1st
Remember the top 50 also receive a £1,000 UKPC Main seat.
224 left 209 paid heading to the first break in the Mini
exits from the mini are there
as there have been 200 in just over 2 hours, you can scroll through that
--
meanwhile they are doing £100 single hand turnovers for a main event seat in the break
How's your luck, and what hand would you like to be dealt in a 10 way face up contest?
The Top 50 in the Mini all get a £1,000 Sky Poker UKPC Main Event seat, too.
Faced with the choice of giving all 8 £500 (2x£250 min cashes) between them, Simon added £300 and they got £100 each
Some important questions...
For Rich - how is 'front of house' doing?
For Tikay - Latte count estimate?
Tighty is not actually here, I'm doing all the reporting.
He is frustrated with himself too, having already bluffed off some chips he got 36,000 all in pre at 300-600 with 9-9
Dean Pearson raised to 1500
Channing in the big blind to 4000
Pearson 11,000
Channing all in
called by QQ, which holds
The arrival of his coach on his rail seemed to have a galvanising effect though
He raised in mid position to 1400 at 300-600
The cut off made it 4,000
Goulder called as his octogenarian coach looked over him
it went check check on
8-4-2
Goulder led 4,600 on the turn
Q
Call
the river came
3
Goulder quickly glances at his opponent
Unseen by both players, the old man is wincing behind them, a mass of tells and body language
Goulder "all in" for just over 16,000
Hs opponent tells him "thats the second time you've done that"
Goulder "you've got Ace-Queen and you haven't called already?"
His opponent folds and shows Ace Queen
Goulder smiles shyly
the coach tells him he has to show
he shows
the opponent smiles
Meanwhile the coach wanders off, a teaching job well done
those eight should have split 2 x £250 (215 became 207 in one hand so there were the first two cash playing prizes to split) but the DTD team added £300 to enable them to split £800
Philip Hobday flatted him in position
they saw a King high flop
Sly leads, Hobday raises and Sly with top-top shoves
Hobday snapped him off with Aces held and sent Chris on his way to re-enter
--
Mitch Johnson, for whose figure it must be said married life seems to be agreeable wants me to let you know that
"Paul Jackson is playing really really well, make sure they know"
Jackson giggles coquettishly and raises Johnson's big blind from the small
to 1700 at 300-600
Johnson calls with an expression that if verbalised would be a derisory snort
Jackson 700
"you bet that because you know i will call that with anything"
Johnson calls
10-9-6
check check
2
Jackson 1,000
7
Johnson places two 500 chips on top of Jackson's bet
He wants to see, and is shown A-9
Johnson mucks
He hit a Queen "in the door" too so the flip felt an unlucky one to lose
no sign of him re-entering yet
there are four callers, including Alex Goulder in the cut off and Tommy Bingham in the small blind
in the big blind after a pause Jav Javed makes it 17,000
Jav is old school, qualified in, XXL25 and upwards player who plays the DTD festivals too
everyone passes
Name Jav's hand, not an outrageously funky one but just interested what you think he's squeezing with
(he showed)
