Tom Carpenter is actually Simon Kenna

Sat, Jun 21st 2008, 01:59 by Reporter

We’re not sure how this happened. We’re sorry. The infallible ‘piece of paper with a number on it which players must take with them at all times’ method of player identification has been shown to be fallible.

The last two reports of ‘Tom Carpenter’ were about the player who’s real name is actually Simon Kenna. Simon was nearly felted with 99 vs QJ and then doubled through with AA vs 55.

A New And Improved Piece Of Paper System™ is in hasty development for Day 1B tomorrow.

The attatched photo is of the real Simon Kenna. Who apparently looks like Danny Dyer.

Reports of Carpenter's near demise premature...

Sat, Jun 21st 2008, 01:36 by Reporter

In a valiant struggle, Tom built his short stack up to 16k when, in the SB and after a raise to 4200 on blinds of 800/1600 he re-raises all in for 15,100. The BB calls, and the MP original raiser counts his stack, counts again and folds.

The BB shows 55, and Tom tables AA.

No 5 to help John Lundy in the BB and Tom doubles up to just over 35k
