The Road To Punta Cana

Tikay10

127 players have so far taken their seat for Day 1a.

Blinds begin at 50-100, (then 75-150), & players start with 25,000 chips, assuming they took the optional "bonus". (All our players began with 25,000).
 
The clock is 45 minutes. 

Current temperature is 33c.

Blood pressure? Don't even ask.

At 3.30pm, I'll have a wander around the tables & see if our motley crew have been involved in any early skirmishes.

Any sign of JP?

I must admit it took me three days to recover after a night on the mama juana.

Thanks Tikay, looking forward to the updates.

In Response to Re: The Road To Punta Cana : Hi Graham, We are due to meet in the Cardroom/Casino at 5pm this evening (just over 2 hours from now), so we can sort Registration for tomorrow then if need be. Clothes? That's very kind of you to offer. You do know I'm a cool guy though, can't just wear ANY clothes, they need to be crucial .   See you at 5pm. I'm in 5128 if you need anything urgently. I've not seen JP since we arrived, though I had reports he was getting wasted in a bar last night. No sign of him before or since.   After we have sorted the registrations etc tonight, I think the lads & planning on a bit of a get-together, probably hook up in a bar of somesuch. I just bumped into Ivanovic & his young lady, also the Bromleys.  Oh, & chatted with Sir Gary, who won his seat with one of the little sites, Coral I think.

All quiet so far, blinds just gone up to 75-150, & nothing much to report.

Well, when I say nothing much to report, some disturbing rumours are reaching me of an off-table incident. More info on that soon.

BREAKING NEWS

The clues were all there, I don't know how I missed them.

JP has been very quiet & subdued today. I assumed he was, you know, busy, pre-occupied with Priority matters, da de da.

I last saw him at around 9pm last night. We had been "mine hosting" the qualifiers, & our ears were bleeding from a DJ who was blasting music out of a bank of Marshall Amps at 150 decibels.
 
We are here on duty, to work, so I slid away dutifully at 9pm & took to my bed so as to be fully  ready to serve Sky Poker's qualifiers, & audience, today.

It was Natterley that piqued my interest, she seemed quiet & subdued, too. Not like Natterley at all, she talks for England. Adam was in bad shape, too, as, I now realised, were several other members of the team, including Tennis Bloke & Alvez.
 
Then she said it, & the penny dropped. 

"Last I saw of JP at 5am this morning, after a few dozen rum based drinks, was him, arm in arm with 2 members of the USA 2015 Swimsuit Competition, heading towards the beach on a segway"

"A Segway, JP on a segway?", I asked?

"A segway" she repeated.

"Well I KNOW what a segway is, woman. But JP, @ 5am, with 2 nubile swimsuit contestants, heading to the beach. On a seqway?"

"Yes yes".


My lips are sealed, I shall say no more. There I was, tucked up in bed by 9.30pm, ready to serve Sky Poker as well as I'm able, & then that story of debauchery reaches my ears. 

I shall say no more, don't want to start any rumours.
 



   






It's probably best not to speculate further about this matter. I shall say no more.

Was out catching crabs!

News of one of these incoming........

Tikay10

...and it's not good news for one player, I'm afraid.
 
ALVAZ opened on the button, & got looked up - not unreasonably - by A-5.

The flop?

2-3-4
 
Ugh.

Mr A-5 played his hand nice & slowwwww, as you would, & trapped ALVAZ all ends up, & eventually, both players were all-in.

So the call rang out SEAT OPEN  

Tikay10

Oh yea, Alvaz's hand?

Tikay10

So we have an early chip leader, as ALVAZ rockets up to north of 50,000.

Tikay10

2 levels now complete, so 15 minute break.

Tikay10

StayOrGo (Graham) has 20,000 after a bit of an unfortunate coup.

He opened with J-9, got flatted, & saw a J high flop (2 hearts).

It went bet-call, bet-call, check-bet-call, as it looked like Matey Boy was on a busted flush. Unforch for Graham, he had the Kings.

Bob is playing tomorrow I gather.

PLO8 on Thursday? I wish......

I have played a little PLO cash here, $1-$3, that was fun.  

Tikay10

All quiet here, Blinds now 100-200/25.

RadioFed & StayOrGo are both on around 20,000, Tennis Bloke 25,000, & ALVAZ 55,000.  

Tikay10

It now appears we have a FIFTH player playing today, no idea how he slipped though the net, but don't think I've seen him yet, not sure if Segway Man has.

So, our 5th player today is GGGGCCCC

Question for you, not that I want to mention last night's disgraceful scenes again, but I'm obliged to. 

Which of the following were reportedly doing karaoke at 4am this morning?

ALVAZ

Natterley Bromley (who has just returned from what she described as a "medicinal shot").

Adam Bromley (who really is not at all well today)

Tennis Bloke

Segway Man
