Antoine Saout, presumably? Excellent spot, Barny, well done.
I only just realised that Darvin Moon had never had a single (recorded) Live Cash before his 6 milly bink. Amazing, really.
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.
In Response to Re: LIVE UPDATE - Sky Poker UKPC High Roller, Day One. : 60,000. Playing wayyyy too loose, some of the hands I've seen him play are not even pairs. Posted by Tikay10
haha, quick go over there and give him advice before he blows it all Nice he's off to a decent start hope he keeps it going
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.
Chipcount on a lad from my town Boston called Callum Mccauig please Tikay Posted by TimmyRaRa
Will do my best, Timmy, but with play about to end, I may have to await the closing chip counts as I don't know the young man, or where he may be seated.

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.

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

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
