Day 2 UK Team Updates

[Des]

Saranne Eloise Branter, Blackbelt poker

[Fatcatstu]

A while later and we lost another few players in quick succession

John Patten of Gambling Network Forum was short stacked with about 18k at blinds of 3k/6k/600a

Paul raised to 14k from early position and John shoved for 18k, it folds back round to Paul who makes the call for 4k more and the cards are on their backs.

John - A2
Paul - KQ

The flop runs out   giving Paul the lead.

The cry of ACE! Goes up from the rail.

They are rewarded with the   !

Unfortunately for John and his fans the river is the   giving Paul the straight and sending John off to the rail.

Shortly after, we lose Andy Duncan

The action folds round to Andy who shoves his last 42k into the pot and Phil calls from the button, the blinds fold and the cards are

Andy  
Phil  

The Midlands Ball Busters gathered round, pulling for Andy as they are still in with a chance of winning their battle with Blonde poker.

The flop however would break Midlands hearts as it comes

leaving Andy in need of one the remaining 2 10 s in the deck to survive.

The turn   and river   are no help and Andy leaves his captain BRIAN YATES to carry the fight to Blonde alone. He will now need to outlast all Blondes remaining players to stand a chance of bringing home the gold.

Blondepoker Captain Geo "thesarge" Dickson...on the cusp of leading his team to the Championship.

[Luthee13]

And the bubble has burst!

Derek Maughan pushed all in and was called by Paul Pitchord.
They both table aces but Derek"s   with kicker is dominated by Paul"s

Shouts for a 5 from Derek"s rail were not heard and the first card on the flop was

The rest of the board left for little sweat with

Derek, from LPPL Terry goes out in 21st place and is the "bubble boy" - all other players are in the money. Well done to the remaining 20 players.

This thread will continue with the "spoiler free" table. (so only posted after the live update reveals a player is out).

[IrishTom]

Glenn Townsend (Blonde Poker) gets his 41k stack all in with and is called by Matt Carter (LPM) with and Glenn spikes on Turn to double up

Chris Tilbury"s (LBPN B) is up against the of George Dickson (Blonde Poker) and with a Board Chris departs in 20th

Chris Webber (Team Gotham) against Matt Carter"s (LPM) and Matt gets a double up...

[Luthee13]

Chris Webber and Matt Carter get tangled in a hand that leaves Chris crippled when his late position shove with   gets called by Matt's  
The board runs out with, not the one but, two aces on the flop leaving Chris drawing dead.


Next hand, Chris shoves his, now less than a minimum raise, stack.
Much debate across the table about the action for the remaining players and Mark Oldfield in the small blind makes up the min raise as does Graham Cutler in the big blind.

The flop comes and Chris looks happy.
Mark and Graham both check.
The turn is and Chris looks less happy.
Again, the other two check.
The river is the and Chris looks dejected.
The other two check and Mark declares and Ace as Graham announces he has nothing.
Mark shows
Graham mucks.
Chris tables and had flopped the flush drawer to give him hope but didn"t get there.

Chris, from Team Gotham, is sent to the rail.

[Luthee13]

We are down to 2 tables here and we have just had another exit.

Paul Pitchford raises from mid position.

Tom Slikboer re raises all in.

It folds back to Paul who makes the call.

Paul has
Tom has

The flop is not kind to the all in player and Paul takes a further lead with leaving Tom needing a lot of help.

The turn shuts him down

The river is a little rub down, too little too late

Tom, from APAT Chocolate Lovers is out in 18th place.

We quickly and very quietly lose two players from the feature table:
Phil Stein from Blue Blood finished in 17th place
Tristan Chaplin from Black Belt Poker finished in 16th place.
I am told that maybe Paul Pitchford had something to do with it...

[Matt D]

In this event last year Blonde Poker cruised to a 26th place finish. This year, under the captaincy of Geo the Sarge they are guaranteed at least silver!

[Sheriff Fatman]

In this event last year Blonde Poker cruised to a 26th place finish. This year, under the captaincy of Geo the Sarge they are guaranteed at least silver!

The last time I played for Team Blonde in this event I was the first person knocked out of the tournament, so this feels somewhat cathartic.

Well played fellow Blondes!

[Luthee13]

Glen Townsend is first to act and moves all in.

Dave Potts fairly quickly re raises all in over the top.

It folds round to Dave"s team mate, Gary Oldfield who thinks about it and asks for a count and agonises over this decision and eventually folds.

Glen shows and Dave has

The board runs out (at this point, Gary is not impressed with his decision but...)

No help for Dave and he is crippled while Glen is doubled through.

[IrishTom]

Next hand Dave Potts gets it all in with and is called by team mate Mark Oldfield holding and Dave departs on a Board

On the feature table Sarrane Branter gets her 122k stack in holding and doubles up when she hits on Flop...

On a Flop Gary Colclough (Sutton Poker) gets his stack in holding and is instant called by pocket KK and departs in 13th
