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.

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! Grin

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! Sad

So folks meet Fredrik Pettersen.

Great updates and photos, hat off to HF, others need to take note!

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.

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!
Report Helmuthian Folds November 11, 2011 5:46 PM GMT
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!

Drumroll....

Both true gentlemen and deserving winners.
Report Helmuthian Folds November 11, 2011 6:59 PM GMT
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.  Wink

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!
