    Big hand for CELTICFAN. J 9 6   4 Our guy is holding JQ, and gets it in on the turn. Villain calls with 78, meaning we need only need to avoid a 5 or 10 for a double up.

    He's now off to the Casino to play some cash, before taking another shot tomorrow.

    Right... we're due some updates.

    Few interesting ones, so I'm splitting it up a bit.

    Less interesting below;

    Radiofed28 20k... still.
    Alvez11 75k... still.
    CxE1 10k... 10 big blinds and looking for a double.

    StayOrGo;

    Down to 10k and calls a raise to 2k pre with 9s10s.

    Flop -  J X X - two spades.

    Graham bets 6k into 8k and gets a caller, leaving him with 2k and change behind.

    Turn -  Spade.

    Rest of the chips go in, and the other guy shows 2 red aces.


    All going well, after that hand, and we're now up to 27k.

    In other news... Tikay keeps disappearing to "sort out the luggage problem".

    However, I've only seen him with a coffee once all weekend.

    I'm starting to think his luggage arrived with him, and he's been sneaking off in search of a latté.

    Carnage out there. carnage, & we lose not one, but two players within minutes. 

    CxE1 departed, he lost a bunch early when his Kings got busted, & it was always uphill after that. He'll be fine, he has his young daughter with him, so he'll be able to chill with her for the next few days.

    Than radiofed28 - yes, named after Radiohead, & he's a bit of a Jonny Greenwood lookalike - also departed, blind on blind.
     
    In case you are not up with the music scene, here's Jonny Greenwood, who really strutted his stuff in Creep.

    On a lighter note, we're going in to the final level of the day, with 3/7 Sky Poker players remaining.

    Alvez11 - Down to 55k but still 5k above average. Nothing terrible has happened, but nor has anything good.

    StayOrGo - It's really picking up for Graham after a bit of a slow start. Raises from the Cut-Off. Button calls. BB shoves. Graham calls and the button passes. "It's a flip". JJ holds against AK, to double Graham up. Now sat with 55k.

    GGGGCCCC - I arrive at the table to see GGGGCCCC 3 Bet to around 20k. That's 20 BBs, which seems like quite a big raise. One caller.

    Flop:  6 3 2 Rainbow.

    GGGGCCCC - All In. 
    Villain - Call.

    GGGGCCCC -  AA
    Villain -  JJ

    T -  5
    R -  10

    Another double up for a Sky Player, and the first of ours to break the 100k mark.

    Ups and Downs...

    StayOrGo - Lost two big hands in the last 10 minutes, both to the same guy, who is now sat with 150k. Down to around 18k, and is in need of a double up tonight.

    GGGGCCCC - Added another 50k to his 100k stack. Very comfortable and crushing the table.

    Alvez11 - No ups or downs here. Still sat with 55k, which is now average.

    Great work JP and Tikay.  Thanks guys.

    Had to be Alvez on the karaoke and I'm pretty sure he'd be singing 'Runaway' by the Corrs.

    6am here and tables getting quiet.

    In Response to Re: The Road To Punta Cana : Have to say, Don, Sky Poker have done the players proud, what with Punta Cana & Viva Las Vegas, think about 56 packages have been won this year. This place is amazingly good, & for Viva Las Vegas, the players stayed at the luxurious Venetian.

    Cheers for the reports back JP....good to read over a morning coffee. You could have done with some help over there to ease your workload. Make sure you have a few beers to unwind each day. Anything anyone needs over there which costs....stick it on Tikay's room.

    Good Luck all playing today....and congrats those who made it through y/day.

    Great updates.

    JP don't let Tikay off lightly like we did in Vegas. He barely left the media room unless he was going to Starbucks or bed.

    Busted last night, feeling a little down going back to room. My young daughter wakes up as i enter room. I give her my bad news. She jumps out of bed with a huge grin and gives me a bear hug "now we can spend all our time together". The best getting knocked out EVER.
    As for JP and Tikay...This hotel has everything except for Specsavers. It's been great meeting everyone
    Good luck to all the guys and gals, may the poker gods smile on you.

    Good afternoon to you all from a blisteringly hot day here in Hispaniola.

    It's 1.40pm here, & play will begin at 3pm Local for Day 1b.
     
    No sign of JP, though various reports place him in an assortment of bars, accompanied by sundry Swimsuit USA 2015 contestants.

    We had 7 players yesterday - we spotted them all eventually - & 3 of them survived through to Day 2, which will be tomorrow (Friday).
     
    That leaves 9 players to take their chance today, so a run down of the runners & riders will follow momentarily.

    These are the nifty nine are scheduled to play today.......

    devil_tear - we have not actually seen him yet, but I'm sure he'll be here.

    munchkin00

    bigbob57 - Bob is a plopper, plays lots of £2, £ & £5 PLO8 DYM's. Very broad Scots accent.

    bobbyboy33 - qualified via a Freeroll. Awesome. Has his own wholesale greengrocery business. 

    Perizoma

    Bromley04 - you know all about Adam. He kindly loaned me some clothes whilst I awaited my luggage.

    BobbyBoy & BigBob are both here already, waiting to get started. Not seen the others today yet. Probably in a bar with JP somewhere.

    Also playing today as an "adopted" Team Member is Natterley Bromley. I do diss Natterley a bit, but the more astute amongst you will know that means I love her to bits, & she has been very kind to Gill & I personally in many ways. 

    Sir Gary is here too, but he is NOT playing the Punta Cana Classic, the package he won was for another Event which starts tomorrow.     

    So there we go, 9+1, gives us our Tenacious Ten.


    Needless to say, the beast was stunned.
    Whip-crack went his Whoopy tail,
    And the beast was done.
    He asked us: "(snort) Be you angels?"
    And we said, "Nay. We are but men."
    Rock!
    Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh-ah-ah,
    Ohhh, whoah, ah-whoah-oh

    And now for something completely different.

    Whilst we await start of play, here's a question for you.

    Is this story true or false?

    And if it were you, would you have reported it, or kept schtum?

    It's been great meeting you Vinny!

    If you get a minute, pop down to the tournament area, and I'll update you on our plans for the rest of our time here!

    With 15 minutes to "Shuffle Up & Deal" we are still missing one player, so a search party has been organised.

    We need to know BEFORE play starts if he is here or not.

    If he does not show by 3pm, we'll be in dire straits, but Private Investigations continue.

    It's a mystery to me, the game commences
    For the usual fee, plus expenses
    Confidential information, it's a diary
    This is my investigation, it's not a public inquiry
