Matt Dale - Out

Sun, Jun 22nd 2008, 16:42 by Reporter

Matt dale moves all-in for 42100 and after a couple of minutes thought, is called by Jamie Reeve.

Dale manages to strike a little deal with Reevio just before they deal the flop and now has 8% of Reeve. (Reeve would have had 15% of Dale, if he survived)

The flop came 3 5 6 which helps Reeve a little more.

A 6 and a 4 gives Reeve a straight and knocks out Dale.

Happy Birthday Matt

Simon Kenna - Out in last hand of Day 1a

Sat, Jun 21st 2008, 02:14 by Reporter

In an all action hand, Matt Dale raises to 4500, James Gawen re-pops to 10k and Simon Kenna goes all in for just over 25k.

Matt faces a tough decision but folds and afterwards says he folded queens (and with one coming on the river that was a strong but ultimately disappointing fold for him.

James calls the re-raise all in however and shows AA against Simon’s AK. the rockets hold up and Simon is out.

Play has now ended for Day 1A – chip counts to follow.

'Bluffer Dale' calls for card, misses, pushes anyway

On a flop of 6 7 8 Matt calls a 2k bet on the button from an EP bet. Calling for a ten, the turn hits 9 and after an EP check, Matt shoves in. The EP folds in disgust. Matt’s final words were “gutshot for the win….”

Exclusive! Matt Dale doesn't bluff first hand!!

Matt Dale, Bristol local and poker’s most eligible bachelor (according to the Catman) sees K6-off in the BB on the first hand with 3 limpers. Amazingly he doesn’t raise all in, and checks to see a two-suited flop of KK6.

In true trapping style he checks to a MP bet of 100 (blinds at 25/50 with no ante) and after some folds, makes a call smoother than a cat’s cashmere codpiece.

A fairly harmless turn card elicits a check from both players, and a possible flush on the river has Matt betting 1500 with fingers crossed that his opponent has hit.

His opponent, seizing his chance, pops to 3000, and with much deep and careful trapping thought which lasts for 2, maybe even 3 seconds, Matt re-raises all in.

It should have been perfect, but his opponent smelled the proverbial rat and folded.

As of the time of this post, with the blinds about to go up to 50/100 in the second level, Matt is up from his 10k starting stack to 17k
