I only just realised that Darvin Moon had never had a single (recorded) Live Cash before his 6 milly bink. Amazing, really.
Not too much significant movements in the chip landscape, with a few exceptions.
Chris Brammer 75,000
Stu Rutter 80,000
Keith Johnson 50,000
Tom Hall 55,000
Nick Hicks 25,000
Neil Channing (feeling somewhat unwell) 24,000
Chinese Frankie 40,000
Rick Trigg 30,000
Anthony Nicholls 135,000
Richard Gryko 35,000
Joesman 40,000
Tom Middleton 25,000
Alex Goulder 40,000
Ryan Spittles 45,000
Richard Kellett 85,000
Play has resumed, it's now level 7, & they are scheduled to play 9 levels today. Late night it is, then.
Mr Channing is genuinely unwell, not at all himself, & there must be doubts as to whether he can continue. Fingers crossed.
Meanwhile, alongside the High Roller, there is a 10 seat Mega Sat to the UKPC in progress, a Wednesday League Game, 6 NLH Cash Tables, & 4 PLO Cash Tables.
Music is blaring from speaks right across the room, way too loud for my personal taste, & the Plasma TV's are on but muted.
More disconcertingly, for anyone who has not visited DTD (those who have will know what I mean), the Valets, (waitresses in normal speak) are all rather young, maybe 18 to early twenties, splendidly built, & very pretty. Which, of course, is lovely. Except.......they wear very little indeed, a sort of swimwear low cut top combined with bikini bottom, cut rather tight, & booties. So ordering a drink or a meal is something of an ordeal, to be honest, I mean, where exactly is one supposed to look? If you see a 60 something old bloke looking at a pert scantily clad teenager, what do you think?
All joking aside, it's not something I like to see. Time & place, & all that.
Anyway, on with the poker.
Playing wayyyy too loose, some of the hands I've seen him play are not even pairs.
BAD NEWS ALERT
Graham Carter is OUT, a set into a house did most of the damage I gather
GOOD NEWS ALERT
Mr Channing is feeling better (he had a meal which did the trick) & is up to a most healthy 55,000, after a BvB Jacks v Tens coup, AIPF. Very nice too.
A few more counts from 15 minutes ago.....
Chris Brammer - 180,000 (rampant)_
Stu Rutter 87,000
Keith Johnson 90,000
Richard Gryko 100,000
Joesman 40,000
Tom Middleton - BUSTO
Ryan Spittles 50,000
Alex Goulder 100,000 (rampant on a nice way)
Play has concluded for Day One.
Will try & get the overnight chip counts up soonest.
61 Uniques, plus 7 re-entries - most pleasing.
Late Reg & Re-entry is open for 2 more Levels I believe.
Overnight chip counts incoming.......
Play as follows.
Pre hand stacks: StayOrGo: 60K, Brammer 90K
Blinds 250/500/50
StayOrGo Raise, 1200 UTG+1 (7 handed) with 8dTd called by HJ and Button (Brammer), SB and BB fold.
Flop: TT7 rainbow:
check, check, check
Turn: 2,
StayOrGo bet 2K, HJ fold, Brammer RR, 11K, I call. (Brammer was seen to bluff in this way on a previous hand)
River: 9
I check, Brammer makes it a massive 30K!
In this spot I think I'm only ahead of a bluff, as all Tx hands, 77, 22 beat me. I felt it was 77, I tanked, but made the call.
Yes it was 77.
I think, had I not seen an elaborate bluff (that ended up getting there), from him a few hands earlier, I could have folded.
Still think it was probably a fold on river, so bit disappointed. This left me with about 15K that I failed to spin up.
So who can find a fold here? :=) (honest answers only lol)
Thanks to those who backed me for this too. Sorry I didn't do better for you.
Main Event tomorrow now (Thurs)
Cheers,
Graham

Having apparently only played about six hands yesterday he found himself with a tough decision in the first hand
playing 50,000 at 500-1000
kully sidhu fresh off his EPT Dublin 3rd raised to 2,000, a caller and Richard Pearson makes in 11,000 on the button
Neil looks down at 10-10
your move is?
so Neil folded
He then played 3 hands in a row, winning the last with Aces and is on 60,000
the table thinks he's busy
He raises Ad Td UTG+1 to 2,000
Richard Pearson makes it 5,600 in the big blind
Neil calls
Th 6c 3d
Neil calls 6,000
4d
Pearson sets him in
Neil has is playng 44,000 at 600-1200
i think he has 15 outs? 9 diamonds, 3 aces and the last two Tens
about a 30% shot and he's getting about 2-1 off the top of my head, so not qute the odds perhaps (?) but a big old stack f he hits
but he calls, misses and is out
Pearson had Jacks, no diamonds
Down to 6x bb he found A-K, very nice, shoved and got looked up by J-9 in the blinds
Ryan flopped a King but lost to a straight
7-8-4 saw more action, Brammer led, O'Neill raised, Brammer set him in and nsta called
Both had Aces
9 are pad, 1st prize? A whopping £55,000
chip leaders are
Chris "you again" Brammer 450,000+
Enzo Del Piero 300,000+
Alex Zeligman 300,000+
also still in and in ok shape Alex Goulder, Ben Vnson, Ben Winsor, Dan Charlton etc
shaping up to be a good one later on
