    We still seem to be missing a few players, but we have now established that ALL of them have checked into the Resort, so they are all here. Somewhere.

    A  bit of early action for the female Bromley, when she made the relatively easy decision of calling down a bluff with two pair.

    Not a huge pot, but it's a nice start!

    I'll start the bidding at 8 points, and throw in a florescent pink t-shirt, signed by the man himself.

    We are sat alongside a contraption called "The Punta Cana Classic Dunk Tank Challenge".

    People lob a ball at a target, & if they hit the target, it triggers the mechanism to drop some poor soul into a glass container full of icy cold water.
     
    The "winners" go into a draw for a 2016 Punta Classic Package. Quite a neat idea. 

    A young lady in the skimpiest of bikinis just got "dunked", or so JP tells me. (He is sat next to the dunk tank, observing matters at close hand).

    It crossed my mind it'd be a fun idea to do at future UKPC's, but I suppose H & S, & Insurance, would make it prohibitive.

    They have just introduced a variation of the DUNK TANK CHALENGE.

    If your table dealer deals you an outdraw, you get to nominate him to go into the Dunk Tank.

    At the first break, a huge crowd has gathered to witness some poor dealer get dunked.  The player nailed it first time, & the Dealer was deposited into the tank to enormous cheers from all.

    Fun times.

    A player than said "how much for you to go in the dunk tank Tony"? I had to decline, as I am wearing thin trackies & I am commando today.

    Back to Poker...

    Final hand before the first break, bigbob57, has had a double up.

    Chips are already in, and bob isn't looking too confident, with 2 overcards and a flush draw.

    He gets there!

    30k.

    The Bromleys...

    After starting well, Natalie has lost a few thousand. Back to around 25k.

    Adam didn't start so well, and dropped to around 20k, then something interesting happened...

    Adam looks at KK and raises pre. One caller.

    Flop: J Q K - Two hearts.

    Bet, Call.

    Turn 9h

    Check, Check.

    River: X

    Check. Adam to act...


    a) What does he do?
    b) What do you do?

    Here's the evil Dunk Tank.

    The victim sits in that cage on the left, & the players have to hit a red target in the middle of that blue/yellow panel on the right.

    Best of luck again to those playing today, and thx for all the good wishes from you guys back in the UK.

    I'm going to need a lot of luck in day2 with about 12BB's, but I'll go down fighting for sure :=)

    Hotel rooms and food/drink all fab!

    Cheers,

    Graham

    I think Adam just checks behind.

    What would I do?

    My response to that would be completely opponent dependant, however checking behind is clearly safest. However, if I felt confident that I wasn't going to be check raised, then a thin value bet may be in order. Although I would feel a right plank if my opponent did come over the top :=)

    Cheers,

    Graham

    Interesting couple of hands for Devil_Tear.

    After being pretty much card dead for the first 2 hours, he finds KK. 

    Raises pre with one caller.

    Flop: AQX

    Check, Check.

    Turn: X

    Check, Check.

    River: J

    Villain bets, DT lets it go.


    Should he bet the turn? Or has be lost the minimum?


    Very next hand...

    Somehow finds Aces.

    There's an early raise and a 3-bet.

    MBN.

    DT 4-bets.

    Origional raiser passes.

    3-bettor 5-bets to 8,800.

    DT is sat with around 19k behind, and pushes all of it over the line.

    5-betting 3-bettor goes into the tank, before passing his QQ face up.

    You were there on your second guess.

    Adam throws in a very, very thin value bet.

    Gets a call, and is good.

    Bromley♀ has been sat to the right of Faraz Jaka for the last couple of levels.


    He's out now.

    It's obvious who the better player is.
