What the title says

Norwich Fan Rob

dont think anyone is covering it in complete depth, but id imagine the betfair forum would be your best bet.
Im flying out in 6 hours and will have the laptop, so should be able to post some sort of report on how the Irish are getting on anyway.

„X President Bush and the first lady arrived in Singapore. We were discretely approached about allowing Mr President to compete in the Main Event. Unfortunately, due to the fact that he did not register prior to the 28th of October, we were unable to offer him a seat. Rules are rules.

Greetings from Singapore, great place this, even better craic than you would imagine !!! lots of Irish over here, me, KP, Dave Masters, Dave O Callaghan, Halibut, Scott Gray, Flipper, Sideshow Bob to name a few.

Basically none of us are playing any poker !
Well i just played a 300 game and went out in level 4, not bad after such a hard night, proper preparation will be done now though, as the main event starts tomorrow. (kps still in this 300 game doing ok)

My luggage just arrived about 5 mins ago, about 30 odd hours after me.
Betfair are acting like jokers re the accomondation, we were all supposed to be in the mandarin, where the event is, me ,DOC and Masters were slapped in some kip about 40 minutes away, and expected to taxi it, after a stewards enquiry DOC and DM got moved to a place 5 mins away and im in with KP.
But we are having to share , instead of having our own rooms.

Havent really slept yet, so might hit the bed for a bit now, tremendous place though i must say, well worth a visit, looks of interesting things to look at and check out.

Oh the main event starts at 1pm tomorrow, thats 5am Irish time, looks like about 470 entries now, more than expected, so over 2mill prize pool and plenty of dead money, i think its 1 hour levels, by no one really seems to know !! Theres only 1 day 1, so we will all be in action from the off, might be going 11 handed (eeek) for level 1 or so by the looks of it.

Good luck guys. One of you will win big.

Did you hear about 5Pin5's big win? Last Friday in the Fitz we swopped 1% in the Euro Millions Lottery. I won €9. So €0.09 to Mr O'Reilly.

Dinner break update from Singapore:

313 runners
After 4.5 levels play, incredible 95 are gone and only 218 are left.
36 are getting paid, (5,800 for 36st, 451k for 1st)

Dave O Callaghan - gone , very unlucky flush situation
Dave Masters - gone
KP - steady on 10k
Flipper - back to 12k after being short
Sideahow Bob - gone
Me - steady on 11k ( a few maniacs giving donations on table, but no cards at all for me)
Halibut - 30k

Playing 10 levels tonight, wont be any more than 70 left at that stage id guess.

Good luck Rob and Ken. A big cash is due for you both so I hope this is it.

P.S. I can't believe 95 players are gone sounds like plenty of dead money!!

MrPillowTalk

Well done lads keep the peckers up.

Tell Halibut to remember to not get bored!!

Jesus Wept

any idea how Scott Gray is doing?

Norwich Fan Rob

KP here. Just gone. Absolute howler of a donkey play by me too.

Starting table included Scott Gray and "Triple D" Dave Dangerous Doyle. Played lots of pots first few levels, swiftly down to 5k after missing every board and getting raised off any pots I tried to steal.

Found a double-up when I got a fellow shortie all-in with my KK v his AK and then hovered between 8-10k for around 5 hours (as usual LOL).

Table broke midway through 150-300 (25 ante) level. New table has Bengt Sonnert, Richard Redmond and a few other decent players too. Finally got into the game though early in the next level (200/400/50). Fairly active English gent opened for 1,400 from MP. I smooth called in SB with KK. Flop 964r, checkity check. Turn K, checkity check. River A, I check, he bets (FINALLY!) 1,500 and i dwell-jam for 4,300 more so I'm up to 15k and change.

Two hands later I'm out. Ultra-aggro Scandie limps from UTG for 400. Like an idiot, I limp cut-off with AcQc. Button (who has RRed all-in for 12k with AJ and been playing 76o in position like it's 777) fires out a 3k raise that really looks like he doesn't want action. Scandie passes quickly. I dwell-jam for 15,400. Button has KK and 100 chips more than me. No help on the board for me and that's that.

edit: Rob just arrived back in room now. he's gone too

Norwich Fan Rob

annoyed now, just gone in level 9, got up to 35k mid way through level 6 when i knocked out ben grundy, but a few disasters after that , running into aces in my last hand, out in about 110th out of 313 players.

Last i saw Scott Gray was short on 15k, Flipper on 37k and Dave Callaghan on 65k.

Brendan Walls made the final table along with our friend Tony G.

Nice result, 2 major final tables in one year and he's still only new to live poker.

Flipper

Hey, for those of you that don't know, Marty finished 40th (outside the money), Dave Callaghan finished 25th (for $8,000ish) and I was 35th (for $5,800).

I felt physically sick after what I did to get knocked out. I was on the feature table and was sitting on the button. When the action came to me, I looked down at A9 and annonced raise. (I had about 50k at this stage and blinds at 3,000-6,000 and ante 300) What I didn't realise is that the player UTG had raised to 10,000 already. Of course, I was now obliged to mini-raise to 20,000. When the action came on him, he moved all in (of course i called for the rest of my chips getting 3/1) and turned over AQ. Of course, the best hand won and I was out. I felt absolutly horrible. I still do.

Dave had a SB/BB encounter. He raised all-in for 22,000 (i think) with AJ and the BB (big stack) called with A5. The 5 was the first card out.

On the upside, I just walked through the poker room for info on tomorrows Aussie Millions satellite and saw that there was 1 seat left in a $100 (12 man) Omaha Hi SNG. I played and won it without much hassle for $700.

Having a great time over here but the time difference leaves you feeling like you in limbo!

MrPillowTalk

Just talking to Callaghan, he has had food poisoning and a fever all day and just wasnt able to play, he is really pissed off because he says he was playing smashing stuff yesterday, he won a few quid but says he feels dreadfully ill.

On the plus side Masters is after getting fourth in the monkey side event for an $8k payday.

Norwich Fan Rob

I told you guys that Mr Tony G was a good guy, fair play to him, I know he as loads of cash, but both of these were very kind gestures.

Brendan got a nice result too.

StraddleFor6

Yeah, I worked out who halibut is. I'm a genius.

Goodluck2me
