Some ladderage has been done with the field down to 97. Don't get too excited, the ladder was only for 60-odd dollars, less than Tikay's daily tab at Starbucks.

Brrrrrrr

Well done Tikay, lets hope for a deeper run than that 12th the other year.

90 left now, and another ladder, so that pays for TWO days at Starbucks.

The memory of that remains fresh in my mind, as I made a bad play. If I ever got 12 handed in a WSOP again, I'll never make the same mistake, it still haunts me.

Thanks for this clip TK. I think in this situation, where there is a known villain and it is a CLEAR angle shoot, the Tournament Director (TD) should have the power to return the extra amount wagered when the "victim" called the re-raise.

Having said this, I think the TD did all he could within his power by informing the players of similar moves that the offending player had made before.

Also, casinos should ban repeat offenders, however, all too often they think a bit of controversy is "news-worthy" and adds to the paradoxical attraction to the game. (everyone likes someone or something to moan about)

If this situation occurs more than twice in an MTT from the same player, the TD should have the power also to remove the offender from the tournament (after an initial warning).

It's easy to get "upset" by this type of thing, however I think more discretionary powers for the TD could reduce the occurrence of this, and we should seek resolution not retribution for this type of angle shoot.

So a punishment that assists with the resolution is appropriate, otherwise the odd "bad egg" will always try something like this.

Of course this requires knowledgeable, non corruptible and clear thinking TD's. Particularly because we have all probably done something accidentally that could appear to be an angle shoot.

I checked out of turn, on the river, accidentally with a full house once, which received criticism, when I then re-raised my opponent.

It was however, a genuine mistake and I apologised.

So the TD's judgement capabilities are paramount in determining the intentional and the accidental.

Just my opinion.

Cheers,

Graham.

Hi Jacob, this thread is as good as any.

Down to 79 so another table broken, and another ladder achieved. Minimum of $2600 now locked up.

No Brits out yet, so Toby Lewis, Jeff Duval & Keith Johnson are also still there with cards and chips too.

Good Luck Tikay. Lots of Sky poker players rooting for you I think, run well!

FCHD

And as soon as I say that, Toby Lewis busts in 79th. 77 remain.

In other news, Tikay's double-up has brought him to the attention of the chip counts page of the WSOP updates, and in even better news, he is shown with a Union Jack against him, not a Canadian maple leaf.

Just lost a huge pot, would have taken me close to 100,000.

I gather it will be reported on the Official WSOP update.

The bad hand

Courtesy of WSOP.com of course

James Hoeland Doubles Through Tony Kendall

 

Tony Kendall limps in from early position, Dan Sindelar limps also, the small blind fills up, and the big blind checks. On the  Ad Jh 7d   flop, action checks to Sindelar and he bets 5,000. James Hoeland check-raises the pot out of the small blind and the big blind folds. Kendall reraises the pot for around 60,000 and Sindelar folds, Hoeland calls all in for 24,600. Hoeland:     Kd 10c 8d 8s
Kendall:     Ac As 8h 6c
The Qd turn improves Hoeland to a flush and a blank 2c river changes nothing, Hoeland doubles. James Hoeland - 60,000
Tony Kendall - 25,000 By the way, 72 left so another ladder. $242 this time.

Clickety-click we're down to sixty six.

Someone called Daniel Negreanu or something like that is now showing as 2nd in chips.

Day 1 chip leader Dieyar Kakel lost the lead at one point but has now regained it.

63 left, another ladder.

More laddering, 63 left. Among recent departees is Irish player Mark Reilly.

For the first time, it's over $3K locked up.

ajmilton

Gl Tikay, just double as and when, if not sooner. Easy game.

FCHD

55 left, WSOP showing Tikay up 20K chips to 45K.

One more to go before yet another ladder, which would take us in $3500 territory.

52 left now, Barny.

Watching the EU referendum results and constantly refreshing this thread for updates on Tikay's progress.

I hope you're still going until well after the EU result is in Tikay.....at the moment, your prize money is increasing in value as the pound falls!
