Ian now on around 137k
He gets it all in with AK v AA
10 on the flop...Q on the turn
And a Jack on the river gave him Broadway!
"Take it down to Chinatown!" He says.
-
Ian Swan through to Day 2 with 113k and $1700 locked up.
$1 million up top...
Well done to him, he'll be back at the tables tomorrow from 2pm - we wish him the best of luck.
-
Come on Justin, you can do it mate
We are all routing for you Justin. x
-
Plat resumed 40 minutes late and was paused after 100 knock outs in 18 minutes! Admin for a field that size is currently a nightmare.
Best of luck to Ian Swan as he continues his bid for $1 million - starting with a stack of 113k and $1700 minimum already locked up.
-
Losing them fast and furious they are down to 495 left so $3200 now locked up!

Up to 160k with blinds just entering the 5k/10k 1k ante
Not far off the next money jump with 405 players remaining.
-
Thanks to everyone for their support and encouragement but my Colossus ended with an exit in 421nd place. Standard flip in the blinds with my 99 losing to a flopped J with the Villan having AJo. No complaints no 50p due, lots of pre event discussion regarding its structure, all I can say if the deck hits you in the face early on your ok ;)
See you all on Wednesday and everyone else in Coventry.
-
Having been card dead all day, Ian shipped K9 in the small blind. Big blind wakes up with AQ
Ace on the flop and nothing more to report.
Ian finishes in 291st out of 18,000+ players for $4700.
Well played and congratulations.
-
Congrats to all that played, cashed and updated. Cheers for this, was nice to read through and will be nice for the players to look back on as part of the memories.
