April Live Trip Part 2
UKIPT Nottingham
Next Stop was UKIPT Nottinham, we went straight from Belgium to Nottingham we were staying in the Poker stars Hotel in the City Centre which was a decent hotel (ty stars). I had a decent live schedule that I wanted to play here;
Nottingham planned Schedule:
12th Main Event day 1b £770
14th NL Holdem £330
15th NL Turbo deepstack £168
16th NL 6 Max £112
So it came to day 1b I got sat down on my table at Dusk till Dawn poker club which was incredibly busy as they smashed the £1 million gtd they ended up getting 1,625 runners!! making the first prize to be £210,400 WD stars and Duck till Dawn... As for my table draw I thought it was pretty decent didn't last long enough to be able to make solid reads but there was one obvious good Scottish lad who I later met called Robbie Bull (adreny) on my table and maybe 1/2 who were pretty solid but nitty.... I lost several big pots where in one case I made a very well disguised trips on the river and I led the river and some random Eastern European guy 4x my river bet, there were a couple of missed flush and straight draws (even though the board was paired) I tank called and he had the nuts (obv) tens full... A couple of orbits after that I open QQ with aprox 30 bbs and get 3 bet from the btn so I 4 bet called off and lost to AK.. gg my main event in the second level.
The next day I regged the £330 side which was really good value, my starting table was not great though as I had one of my mates on my direct left Ashton Clayton (wd on your main cash bro) there was also Kev Asquith (Asquith31) and later on Robbie Bull appeared on my direct right... I managed to get a stack going staying above avg most of the tournament and made day 2 with around avg. Joel Beverley Ashton Clayton and Callum Stewart also made day 2 where we also had a bet to see who could get the biggest stack going into day 2 which Calum won. However we were all to be short lived with me lasting the longest finishing 2/3 off the money running AKs into a set of fives where I think I priced myself into calling off on a Q high flop.
After Tilting from bubbling the £330 we went for a Nando's and all regged the £168 turbo deepstack This field was total lolaments had a very soft starting table crushing like I do in turbo s. In this mtt there was £6,700 up top and 17 paid, me and Callum both made the money but by this point the avg stack was something like 6/7 bbs and we finished 12th and 13th respectively for £450, would of been nice to make back to back turbo FT's at UKIPT side events with this cash im currently 22nd on the UKIPT leader board.
Next event was the £112 6 Max The field for this event was pretty small as It was a Monday and most people had left Nottingham, It was alongside the FT of the Main Event where one of my mates was sitting in good position so I was also railing Nick Woodward and hoping he was going to take down the Main...
So my table for the 6 max was pretty tough imo as I had Tom Hall (jabracade) on my right and another Canadian reg on my left... this was short lived as I picked up AK and 4 bet called and lost to QQ Second level again... Also in this event was Joel Beverley (jbeverley) who was looking like he was going to have his first live cash all to end in disaster as his top pair could not hold against a flush draw he was to bust 2 off the money gg Joel...
Meanwhile Nick had just busted in 6th place loosing a huge flip with JJ<AQo for £45,500 well done Nick on that huge score!! The pokerstars were upset when he busted as he had about 80% of the rail rooting for him....
