Morten Varbaek Mortensen calls in the big blind
we're flipping, Dean Jacks, Mrten A-Q
9-5-A-2-6 to flip the carpet away from under Rugg, and send us down to 60 left
just did a tour of the tables to catch up on a few players i haven't covered much
12 1 Matas Cimbolas
12 2 David Lloyd
12 4 Jonathan Kalmar
12 6 Bruce Jones
12 7 Ian Burdon
12 8 Fraser Bellamy
12 9 Paul Jackson
seats 4,8 and 9 have a combined 150 years of poker experience. actionjack looks like he has lost some ground, relatively, but is still on 1m or so. Matas has towers and towers of chips
13 1 Andrew Garland
13 2 Neil Benardout
13 3 Andreas Olympios
13 5 Sinem Melin
13 6 Kuljinder Sidhu
13 7 Alan Taddei
13 8 Paul Mctaggart
13 9 Mark Mcvey
after the rollercoaster of her earlier levels sinem's chip topographty has levelled off and she seems in an altogether steadier mood. the player on this table who has had a really steely focus today has been McTaggart. Doesn't say much, doesn't change expression a lot, but consistently stays in the top ten stacks
14 1 Carl Spicer
14 2 Sandiep Khosa
14 3 Padraig O Neill
14 4 Farhaan Khan
14 5 Andrew Hayton
14 6 Gordon Mcarthur
14 7 Mudasser Hussain
14 8 Alexander Spencer
14 9 Richard Simmonds
Alex, from a distance, has been perma-instant messaging all day and has never really got the big old stack that was such a characterisitic of his UKPCwin a year ago when he was unplayable in the latter stages. still time though
2 1 Aleksandrs Golubevs
2 2 Jay Scott
2 3 Chin Chai Koh
2 4 Colburn Tomlin
2 5 Tom Hall
2 6 Robert White
2 7 Darren Crosby
2 8 Anonymous
2 9 Rupinder Bedi
this is the feature table. its hot out there, really really hot and the tv lights are shining such that its like a furnace opening its door as you walk by. tom hall, the tom hall with the long hair/jabracadara is the chip leader here. rupinder still doing fine but i can't get too close to tell you more
23 1 Leo Mcclean
23 2 William Davies
23 3 Terrance Davies
23 4 Kenneth Midgley
23 5 Akaash Bhatia
23 6 Christopher Vernon
23 7 Zahari Petrov
23 8 Michael Cowper-johnson
23 9 Chris Dowling
chris can report for us. leo still short-stacked, seat 3 still unconventiona from what i can see. possibly, from my limited observations, one of the more passive tables in the room
25 2 Alan Saluk
25 3 David Mcconachie
25 4 Mark Elliott
25 5 Jamie Clossick
25 6 John Haigh
25 7 Nigel Dunbar-dempsey
25 8 Hui Jin
25 9 Mohammed Sajawal
mcconachie still elads on this table. i think he is 4 hours into a massage. seat 2 is a team sky poker player, and seat 7 is happynige off sky. happynige has rarely looked happier, having the time of his life (and he's never felt this way before)
34 1 Morten Varbaek Mortensen
34 2 Ben Spraggons
34 4 Martyn Bennett
34 5 Tom Kugelstadt
34 6 Gulbar Akram
34 7 Kevin Williams
34 8 Jack Hoffman
34 9 Dewi James
be3n spraggons from northants won an online biggie earlier this week and is going strongly here. Morten might be scandinavian. Tom kugelstadt has had a tough couple of levels. Kevin the london who was associated with neil c for blackbelt has roared into form in this. must have 2m+ in front of him
dewi going deep too, which is nice to see. has position on the big stacks too
Ken Midgley reshoves
and there is a third all in as Akaash Bhatia puts his stack in, covering both
Leo A-8hh
Ken Td Th
Akaash Aspades Ac
the board runs out Jc Ks 2s 4d Jh to knock both the shorter stacks out
50 Sinem Melin
51 Leo Mcclean
52 Kenneth Midgley
53 Colburn Tomlin
54 Richard Simmonds
55 Mohammed Sajawal
56 Gulbar Akram
57 Jay Scott

Sdhu apparently set a massage record for dtd today. 6.5 hours continuous
i had to chuckle, not that he was knocked out (KK v AQ all in on Q57, Q on the river, Andrew Garland with AQ)
but that the massage lady followed me towards the room with the sofas and literally collapsed onto the seat with an audibly huge "phew"
you win.

Leigh told me a nice story about him earlier
he had to have a week off work earlier in the year
unable to do much he grinded online MTTs on sky
he was unaware there was a UKPC Promotion on
at the end of the week he was top of the leaderboard and won a UKPC seat
So Mr and Mrs Saluk, neither of whom drive, get the national express up from Swansea to Nottingham, come to DTD for the first time, his first live event iirc...and he's made the final 32
i think his name is asacccccc or something similar on sky
