SPT Brighton Day 2 Live Update, including combined Chip Counts from Days 1A (Fri) & Day 1B (Sat)
Comments
Blinds now 20/40-40, so that reduces the average to ~20BB. That'll spice things up.
Folded to Kamel in Seat 3 & he jams all-in against the short-stacked Lewis Brown in Seat 4 who calls very quickly with J-10. Kamel had 6c-2c (6c-2c...) & Lewis hits his Jack for a much needed 2XUp.
Very next hand Rose is in trouble with her A-10 against K-K. She catches a 10 om the flop but still needs help, then along comes an A on the river to see Rose double up to more than a milly.
Next hand Rose is busy again, her A-Q is up against Andrew Cheeseman who is a spot ahead with A-K.
No help from the Dealer so Rose loses & is back down to around 500,000.
Rose turns to us on the Rail & says "I'm all-in" & we all rush to the table where Rose is doing her stand-up routine.
We are all a shade disappointed to realise everyone then folded, though perhaps Rose was happy.
3 way all-in, Ben Barnard (@ubeenpwned on Sky) has Q-Q, Liam Blunt has 8-8 & Tommy Dyer has A-9. Tommy moved first & the other two both moved in.
The Queens held, so it's x 3XUp for Ben, Liam gets the side pot & loses nothing & Tommy is left with fumes.
Tommy is UTG & does not have enough to get through the blinds so has to move in.
He gets called in 2 spots, as expected, by Ben & Fred.
Ben & Fred both hit the board but a rivered K gives Tommy top two & he gets a lovely 3XUp.
Rose was getting short but found A-Q, & shoved over an open, only to find Liam Blunt behind her calling with 6-6.
Despite Rose doing her Stand-Up routine the Sixes held so sadly we lose Rose in 9th place.
9th place Rose Roberts £1,250 (+ £800 in Bounties).
Andrew Cheeseman makes it 100,000, Fred Russell in the SB flats & Tommy Dyer in the BB moves in for his last 350,000. Andrew jams to isolate, Fred folds & off we go.
Tommy has 2-2, Andrew has Ah-Kh & it's a horrible flop for tommy, Q-J-4 with 2 hearts. The turn is a blank but the River is a double whammy 10 of hearts to give Andrew Broadway AND the nut flush.
Sadly, we lose Tommy in 8th place.
9th place Rose Roberts £1,250 (+ £800 in Bounties).
8th place Tommy Dyer £1,540 (+ approx £2,500 in Bounties)
I've belatedly been made aware that Fred Rousell actually qualified on Sky Poker, he was the chap who won 3 seats, @scuba61 . Don't think he plays on Sky regularly though, just Brighton sats. I could be wrong of course, it's been known...
Tough gig this updating.
Liam Blunt moves his last ~400,000 in & Callum Smith (who won the £10,000 Bounty) says "OK, I'll have a punt".
Callum is in a world of hurt with Qc-8c as Liam dominates him with Ah-8H, but the Board runs out with 3 clubs so we lose Liam.
Back home now catching up on eating and sleeping. GL all left.
9th place Rose Roberts £1,250 (+ £800 in Bounties).
8th place Tommy Dyer £1,540 (+ approx £2,500 in Bounties)
7th place Liam Blunt £1,840 (+ £600 (?) in bounties)
Players now on break.
Approx chip counts;
Ben Barnard (@ubeenpwned) 1,135,000
Andrew Cheeseman 1,470,000
Kamel Potrec 980,000
Lewis Brown 420,000
Fred Rousell (@scuba61 I think) 1,785,000
Callum Smith 2,185,000
Blinds now 30,000-60,000/60,000.
Average stack = 1,270,000
So still plenty of play in this, we could be here for a while.
