Back for day 2 with a monster hangover but a plate of ribs at the Hard Rock Cafe has sort of half sorted that out.
The final two tables are being drawn now and we will be having updates throughout the day. Ovalman, yes the lovely Rachel is here adding a little class to proceedings!  |

Now here is a piece of information you probably wont have heard from Helmuthian Folds ... Please brace yourself as this nearly happened exactly as i am describing it to you!
I had gone out on the lash last night with a few of the poker lads. In true klup fashion the alcohol was flowing and we were having a great time. What I did not realise however, is that when it comes to consuming copious amounts of alcohol, Helmuthian Folds falls into the category of "Epic Fail". Anyways, the night was long - we partied hard and despite half the group being worse for wear, we were having a great time. When the clubs closed, we posted HF into a cab in the early hours to send him back to his hotel. This morning however, i received a call at 6.30 asking me to come get my friend from the Garda, where Helmuthian apparently spent the night. Still hungover and half asleep, i was rather surprised as I thought Helmuthian was staying at hotel Murphy's. It did cross my mind though, that given the drunken state he was in, there was a good chance he never made it to the hotel and probably went to the wrong place. There was no doubt in my mind, he ****ed up the cab ride and checked in to the wrong hotel. Anyways, feeling guilty and a bit battered myself, i dashed off at super speed to go rescue my mate. I jumped in the cab and asked him to drive me to Hotel Garda. The cabbie was confused, and told me he didnt know a hotel garda, but would take me to The Garda where apparently they have a lot of beds but is usually swarming with some unsavioury types. Where else would Helmuthian be right?? On my arrival I was very impressed by front of the hotel (as you can see from the photo) but was quite shocked to see a swarm of police cars and men all around. I feared badly for HF and dashed inside wondering what the hell had happened. I asked the staff at reception where Dave Deadwood was and they said they would get him for me but first i had to pay £80. There i am thinking that Dave obviously was too drunk, had his money lost or stolen and needed me to pay his bill. I paid the £80 ... but guess, just guess what the receipt Guess ... just guess what the receipt said?? Garda - Ireland's National Police Service! LMFAO :D  |

Richard Weiss waits for as long as possible with his short stack.
Finally he gets dealt A Q off suit and looks to get a double up against the monster chip leader who is obligated to call with with his J7 soooted. The flop comes J 7 4 and that's the end for poor Richard. GG |

By:
Sadri Mokni seems to be bullying a lot on table 1 even though he is probably only the 3rd biggest stack.
He is claiming a lot of orphan pots! |
|
By:
And sure enough 2 hands after I post this Sadri eliminates Thomas Nolan in a 150k+ pot when his lopped set of Jacks gets called on the turn by Toms open ended straight and flush draw but the river didnt improve him and Tom exits in 12th.
Tom would not let us take his picture but with handsome chaps like me and Matt about maybe he though he wouldn't compare favourably! [;)][;)] |

By:
Mike McCloskey goes out in 11th when his shove with KJ is called by Janos Jeznek who turn over AA.
A Jack on the flop gave Mike hope but the Ace on the river seals his fate. We are now on the bubble playing hand for hand across 2 tables of 5 players. |

By:
Sadri who refuses to be photographed without his shades. Another intimidated by the pure attractiveness of the Frantastic Three.

The bubble has burst as Peter Cockayne shoves his short stack with AJ and Sadri instacalls with AK.
No King Jack flush or straight comes on the board and Peter exits on the bubble. |

Peter took losing gracefully and was appreciative of his bubbles for finishing on the bubble. He also received a $120 ticket into the weekly final. |

The thoroughly nice Peter Cockayne ruefully reflects on his bubble status.

Good luck guys.
It's as well I didn't go as my 14 year old got out of bed too quick, banged his head and had a mini fit. Just spent the last 3 hours in casualty. Everything is fine with him but we near shat ourselves when it happened. |

By:
Glad to hear that he is OK Mark.
Hopefully you will qualify for Costa Brava and we will see you there!  |

Stephen Bromfield goes out 9th, there was a raise to 10k, two callers and then Stephen shoves his 55k.
David Treanor calls with a slightly spewy QJ as the other two fold. Stephen shows AQ but a Jack on the flop seals Stephens fate. Very unlucky, once again proving this live poker lark is r1gged! [;)] |
