I am out!
Possibly the craziest table I have ever played at. Quadruple straddles followed by betting in the dark. Lasted about 10 hands before I got dealt ak (sooted). 4 players to flop after raise to 600 (25/50 blinds) flop came A 10 4 two diamonds. Bet and raise followed by all in shove which was called by least aggressive person at table. I knew I was in trouble and sure enough he flipped over a 10 and that's all she wrote. Fran and Matt are still representing and faring a lot better.  |

The tournament is in a time limit format so after 3 hours any players left are subject to a chip count and the standings at that point decide the payout.
This is making for interesting play as people are making straddles and playing blind hands etc.. as everyone is playing to accumulate chips. |

Klup we actually started with 65 players.
We have had a Scandanavian invasion!! |

Good Luck to all the Betfair forumites. Especially, rockme, eachie, bifta and konorobed, who I know are there. Are there any other names to follow?

What we need now is a Swiss based german gooner cry baby!
 And Kunoba rides to the rescue! |
|
By:
Bulgarian who looks like a ganster anyone?
OK then here is Slaven Popov  |
|
By:
Bifta runs his AK very early into a guy playing blind who flips over KK and exits when no ace comes!
 |

Our MC and last remaining bounty Mr Matt Broughton more famous as one third of The Frantastic 3!
Matt also played in the 100 euro tournament last night and was involved in a 7 way split copping over 700 Euro so well played Matt! And yes that is a chest wig!   |
|
By:
Betfair bounty Francesca who is also more famously known as the leader of The Frantastic 3!

Do they all shop at Primark ?
Jeez, at least the Florida 4 dressed well.  |

By:
Booo hiss a baddy for you.
Not only did he knock Betfair bounty Fran out of the tourney but also knocked me out of the 100 euro tourney yesterday. Probably achieved more knocking Fran out to be fair! So folks meet Fredrik Pettersen.  |

The first out of todays tournament who ran off like a scalded cat before I could grab his name.
Fastest donkey I've ever seen and i've backed a few!  |

The legend that is Big Mark/Eachie.

My new Norwegian friend Erik the Viking who shows a similar taste in sunglasses to the fish known as Klup!

Chippy is this the same guy talking that turned up to meet the Betfair powers that be dressed as a beach bum?

London Betfair live winner Arttu heads up the Finnish invasion force!
All good fun and most amusing when very very drunk at 4am last night!    |

And here is the card room as the words 'shuffle up and deal' were announced.

By:
Great updates and photos, hat off to HF, others need to take note!
|
|
By:
38 remain and Rockme and Kunoba are still in but neither have especially large stacks.
i think Kunoba hasn't figured out he needs to accumulate chips and is folding until AA arrives as usual! Matt is still in as the last bounty. |
|
By:
A bit hotter and drier than this hellhole atm, have a good day tomorrow and gl to those still left in the turbo.

The casino tournament computer has gone mental and in a 3 hour exact tournament that causes slight problems.
Luckily I noted that the tournament started at 16.27 so the players will play till exactly 19.27 and then the prizes will be decided by chip count! |
|
By:
The last 15 minutes will be completely frantic with the smaller stacks shoving and calling with anything and then the big stacks suddenly realising they may not be the big stacks any more!
 |
|
By:
we have just gone past the 30 minute remaining mark with 20 players left.
It's all very exciting!  |
|
By:
Kunoba just gone out 19th..
I have pointed him towards the crying area! |
|
By:
Rockme still in with 17 left although he is probably in 17th but with a bit of luck????
|
|
By:
15 minutes left and 36 wins a 4 way all in v A6 A6 and AQ.
This game is mental but everyone seems to be enjoying it and having fun! |
|
By:
Come on Rockme, thanks for updates HF
|
|
By:
Bounty winners of $50 each
Thomas Pedersen Vitaly Monakhov Fredrik Pettersson Roger Johnnesson Congratulations to all 4 |
|
By:
The winners of the four $120 Betfair live satellite tickets are..
Kurt Andersen Roger Johannessen Sven Alver Tom Aalvik Also congratulations to these four gentlemen. |
|
By:
And our two London package winners are....
Drumroll.... Martin von Zwegbergk  Matti Rehunen  Both true gentlemen and deserving winners. |
|
By:
Rockme finished about 12th he was the AQ in the AQ v A6 v A6 v 63 hand
That left him crippled and he went out two hands later. The end was just bedlam but enjoyable and fun. Tom Aalvik who finished 3rd could have folded to a package on the last hand but despite his friend telling him to fold he called despite having 35k more than Martin von Zweigbergk. To say he look sick when he realised is an understatement, we are currently removing all sharp objects from the premises. |

Our two winners of the packages being interviewed by the legend himself Mr Matt Broughton!
 Well today we have had free drinks in the VIP bar, a freeroll tournament with over $3000 in prizes distributed, a free delicious hot and cold buffet and soon we are going back for more free drinks and the free Betfair party which are always awesome! The theme you may have detected is that betfair Live is great value for all players and their hospitality is second to none and I implore people to try and qualify for all the Betfair Live events as I can guarrantee 100% satisfaction! |
