DTD £300 Deepstack Poker July 2009
First off, let me say that I personally didn’t expect the field to go over 260, to my amazement 322 players decided to grace the beize. This is without doubt the best regular competition in the country, however there were a few things that could have harmed numbers. The Betfred Ladies tourny, the WSOP main event, Wimbledon, Stokes £100′er and the weather. Despite this the £80,000 guarantee was well surpassed, once again. This maybe due to the fact that the competition now starts at 2pm, making it less likely for the travellers to have to pay for a hotel, without being in the money ( Should have been done from day 1 IMO ). The 2 o’clock start also releases the cap so hopefully soon there will be 400+ playing this.
Early casualties included Lucy Rokach, Laurence Gosney, and Johnny Hewston falling at the first hurdle. Mickey Wernick, Des Jonas, Pete Singleton, Pippa Flanders and Zac Ford had a steady first day (but begs the question, why are they in the UK? They are all regular WSOP’ers, do the “old skool” think it’s too much of a crapshoot with all the internet qualifiers, has sponsorship dried up, has the recession hit poker?) Other Vegas regulars spotted at DTD include Frankie Knight, Pete “The Bandit” Evans and Craig Widman.
So after 12 gruelling 45 minute levels, and enough time for anyone in a 100 mile radius, to drive back home and still return refreshed, the comp got down to 56 players, of which 36 players would be lucky enough to make the dosh. One of theses gladiators, was none other than a shortstacked ukpokerinfo’er MrMacacan, who eventually nursed his stack into 33rd place for £450. By 9pm the final nine sat down to battle, and it looked like Jihad between new online and old skool live players, and the chip counts were as follows;
Christopher Phillips 835500
Darren Hodson 694000
Andrew Purser 428500
Nigel Turver 409000
Desmond Jonas 320000
Tom Underwood 213000
Lorenc Boci 190000
Michael Wernick 149500
Gurdeu Millan 71500
Mickey “The Legend” Wernick, who has a remarkable final table record in this event was the first to fall in 9th for just over £1700
8th was Des Jonas for nearly £2200
7th was Laurent Boci for £3050
6th was Nigel Turver for just under £4000 (the etiquette of this departure was bang out of order, but we will save that for a different time)
5th for £5200 was Gurdu Millar
4th was Andrew Purser for £7000
3rd Tom Underwood for £10,000
Hitting the crossbar was Darren Hodson for £16,500
And the out right winner with no deals, and can now pay his student loan (and some) was Christopher Philips who steam rollered the final table and hit everything
Congratulations to you sir!
