Title: Don Roberts going great in GPS
Post by: fandango on August 17, 2013, 20:48:41 PM
Bubble time in Southend GPS 42 paid..

Our very own Don "hammer" Roberts sitting pretty with 450,00 average is 250,00 has a top 5 chip stack.

Great run for Don who had a stack of only 18k when I last chatted to him before I left last night..

Only 36k up top so no pressure  ::)

I"m sure we would love to see Don make tomorrows final table..

C"mon the HAMMER One time!!!

Apparently this cost him nothing as he won the seat entering the sat using DTD points.

Final Table is now.

Video has 30 min delay.

Harish Sahnan gets his stack in pre flop against Josh Venman.

Harish... 10-10
Josh...... A-Q

This is a huge 1.8 million flip for the chip lead!!

The flop comes 3--5--8.

The turn card comes another five.

The river card an ACE!!!!

Josh gives it a "GET IN!!" and a few fist pumps before apologising for celebrating, but who could blame him as his takes the chip lead on the final.

Harish Sahnan goes one better than Sheffield, finishing in 9th place for £3,450.

Kris Hussain who was massive short stack on the final table with only 250,000 moves all in from first position, it"s folded round to Danny Tran who makes the call.

Kris tables pocket twos.
Danny shows Q-10.

Danny flops a Queen which is good enough to take the pot.

We lose Kris Hussain in 8th place for £4,655.

The flop comes 10d--2d--6s as Nadeem flops the nut flush draw!!!

The turn card comes the nine of clubs.

The river card comes the six of hearts.

Aces hold for Josh who takes the pot. He just has Nadeem covered.

Ok I have done the twitter thankyou"s and the facebook thankyou"s and I am sorry for repeating myself if you have already read them, but thanks once again for all your support and best wishes, it is really special to read them all when you get a chance while playing, particularly as I was on my own there until Lee Wyatt arrived in the evening after work to give some moral support or check on his 5%  :D and I thank him for that.

Hopefully I have given hope to all our members of a big pay day, (if I can do it we all can right) and amazingly of the 4 Apaters that I know of that played this, 3 cashed so the standard at Apat cant be that bad.

Anyway I have had my day or two of the highlife so heres to the next Apater to go deep. Thanks once again one and all.

Don  ;)

If he goes on and wins he will get an EPT seat aswell as added value from DTD as a last longer  :o


Oops looks like I mislead you, no added value I am afraid, apparently I won my seat too early, before the promotion began, so no seat for making the final table, good job I did not win for the EPT then.  :o Best of luck to Sarbjit Kular who did get a  seat for a future GPS.
