Wael Kendi is the first player to exit. He lost half his stack on the first hand to chinese frankie and then found himself on the button to a raise in teh cut off from Mark Galerakis
He three bet this raise and Galerakis 4 bet him
Possibly steaming a bit, possibly disbelieving, he 5 bet shoved Jack-Nine
As you don in the firs tlevel of a £550 competition
and ran slap bang into Aces
which held to take Galerakis up to 80,000 and the chip lead
looks happy about it

remember everyone is in for 1pm but if you prefer you can play at 6pm
just let me know before the 1pm flight or let the cash desk know at dtd in person
Meanwhile, in the High Roller, Mr Ambo doubles up again, & must be close to 90,000 now, with the average at about 120,000. Think he back the runner up in the last at York, too. Ledge.
Flop was King high, all diamonds, Wael leads, Frankie check raises, Wael confidently calls.
Turn is another small diamond, Frankie leads. Wael calls.
River is a low brick, Frankie leads again, Wael insta calls & confidently rolls over A-K of spades. Frankie shows Q-10 of diamonds for flopped 2nd nuts.
Tim Blake is on the same table, & I told him he had put on a lot of weight. He told me I was looking much older. Marv.
Don't know yet, Lord Trumper is working on the payouts at present, soon as we have them will let you know.
6th £4,500
5th £7,000
4th £9,500
3rd £12,000
2nd £18,000
WINNER £30,000
Just a reminder, it is 6-Max, so there will be a "mythical" Final Table 7 handed. Mr 7th will go home empty handed.
You most certainly did, & I can't wait, very excited.
Sky Dan is also playing, you don't miss much, do you?
He was taught to play by Sky Sam. Need I say more?
that is all.
Carl isn't too experienced at tournament poker, which is fair enough and 40 minute levels even at six max are takign a toll
"boring isn't it?" he says to tikay
(who no doubt wants to tell him that he'd like the clock much slower so he can wait for aces longer)
tikay tells him the WSOP main has two hour levels
Froch's jaw drops, unlike in any bout at any stage of his erstwhile career
"really?" he exclaims, wide eyed
Someone find that man a turbo.
in a lot of pots
limps into a lot of them
UTG+1 he limps for 3,000 from 60,000
folded round to Stacey Coore in the big blind who makes it 10,000
Froch looks at his cards again, looks at his stack, Froch's stack, looks at his cards, looks at his watch, back at his cards...
and makes it 23,000
Mr Coore has Ac Tc and ponders silently the situation, or the fruitlessness of a poker player's existence when at 3pm on a thursday afternoon he is trying to work out what a world champion boxer has froma cross the felt...
eventually he folds, somewhat perplexed

in the small blind with Jacks, he is racing A-Q
Which flops and ace and a flush draw and holds
No, the two flights overlap.
The 1pm flight will continue until around 10pm, & the 6pm flight will continue until around 3am.
Players in the 2 flights do NOT mix, or share tables.
Both flights will play 12 x 40 minute levels, no more, no less. It has nothing to do with how many players remain.
The crucial thing is to ensure that Flights 1a, 1b, 1c & 1d all play for an identical number of levels.
All survivors from the Day 1 flights (there are 5 in all) merge at 3pm on Saturday for Day Two.
Tim Chung limps the small blind
John Eames makes it 1700 in the big blind
Chung 5100
Eames 12600
Chung shoves covering
Eames 50,000 calls all in
i doubt enough people are watching to get any feedback, but name the range of hands for each....
the purples are 5,000 denomination chips
Eames A-9 offsuit, which won to double him up
good luck tomorrow everyone
