One player already had to head to the cash desk for a re-entry within the first hour of play. It is a great turn out so far, and it is to be expected that this number will grow as there are plenty of levels available for late registration. A 200,000 starting stack gives you plenty of space for tricks.

The Festival Series – Main Event day 1B – Huge numbers to be expected 16.02.2023 12:45 by Melvin Schroen

A place where the common player is distinguished from the beasts of the game. A place where miracles happen that would not be possible anywhere else. Everyone is fighting for those coveted portraiture and the numerous packages that have been added to various disciplines. In Bratislava, The Festival started publishing these unique ratings, something The Festival has done exceptionally well.

Colin Lovelock – Winner of PokerListings Championship

It’s Thursday, February 16th, the day of Main Event Day 1B. The weekend is upon us and we expect large numbers of players today. We at PokerListings are literally here from dusk till dawn and we’ll keep you posted on all the details of this magnificent event. Yesterday we saw a total of 129 entries, where 19 eventually made it through the day and already secured a place in the money, and of course continue for day 2. With a guaranteed prize pool of £ 200,000, it is one of the better events of this season in the UK.

Side events

As everyone knows by now, The Festival Series is mainly focused on mixed games and today we kick off the ball with an Open Face Chinese tournament, six players have already been registered so that is very promising. The Main Event will of course be in the spotlight, which will also have two satellites played today. We also have a PLO 4/5/6 on the schedule, and a Deepstack NLHE event. Of course there are endless cash games going on all day long with the Challenge in there as well. On top of all this, there are Franke’s Flip Flop games running in the evening hours, and you can secure your package with ‘Spin the Weel’ during the cash games.

Colin Lovelock is the new PokerListings Champion! 16.02.2023 02:16 by Melvin Schroen

We have had a long day of poker today behind us. We saw many clashes of big stacks, we have seen short stacks fighting their way through the mine field, but above all, we have seen absolute joy today! It is nice to be here in Dusk Till Dawn Pokerclub in Nottingham, and the players are absolutely having a ball.

The day started off with 57 players, all wanting to win the that fabulous trophy here at the The Festival Series. Players such as Georgina ‘GJ Reggie’ James, Ian Vertefeuille, Corrado Nane and Colin Lovelock all made it to Day 2 of this event. For GJ Reggie it ended just before the final table as she couldn’t manage to win against Alexandru Grigorie.

”GJ Reggie, what is her online nickname on PokerStars, just got out of the tournament as she chucked in her last 8 big blinds, when the Grigorie went about all-in from UTG before her.

GJ Reggie 10 J  

Grigorie K Q  

The board gave a King, but no diamonds or draws/pairs for Georgina. With this bust we can conclude that the new PokerListings Champion won’t be a female player.”

Not much later we had reached the final table and the following players were taking a seat at the feature table. It was Nicholas Burrett who had the commanding chiplead already for a long while, as well when going into the final 9:

Colin Lovelock12,740,000

Alexandru Grigorie5,925,000
Dimitru Enache3,000,000
Jeraint ‘JJ’ Hazan8,350,000
Sean O’Donnell5,300,000

All nine players were great throughout the whole tournament and were chasing the grand first prize, together with many additions to it such as a trophy and a package. Burrett was in an amazing spot to finish it off, but eventually came short and didn’t make it until the end of the tournament. Hazan, Bowman and Lovelock on the other hand, have every reason for bragging rights as they managed to make a deal when they were left with the three of them.

Russell Bowman

We were already playing Heads Up for some time, and after we saw Russell doubling up with KQ against the KJ from Colin it was this time another hit. As mentioned before, a deal was made already when three players were still in the game. So the winner would walk away with a decent amount of cash, a package for Malta, a signed comic poker book, and last but not least, an unique portrait!

After Russell had taken a big hit the hand before, he went all-in with his remaining 6,900,000. No help for Russell, and Colin Lovelock would be crowned as the official winner of the PokerListings Championship!

Recap – Main Event Day 1A 16.02.2023 01:25 by Melvin Schroen

Unfortunately we didn’t had much time today to blog about the major event of this series, the Main Event Day 1A as we were following the PokerListings Championships until the very end. But do not worry, we won’t miss a thing of the rest of the tournament. 19 Players remained from the first starting day, and it’s Ali Ayub who is in the commanding lead with 3,420,000 in chips. We also see the American Ian Vertefeuille (790,000) and Jonatan Wedde (910,000) still in the running. Everyone who remained, has locked up a min cash already, and we will see them all back on Day 2.

JJ Hazan

Fireworks was promised at this final table, and we certainly got well served. With three players remaining a deal was discussed and everyone typed ‘I agree’ in the end. Soon after, Hazan was at risk with a huge contest ahead of him as he was up against Lovelock.

JJ Hazan: 2 2

Lovelock: Q Q

The board gave no help to Hazan and as it ran out 7 6 6 3 8 .

It is what it is. Jeraint ‘JJ’ Hazan just became 3rd for a nice payday. We will see him back during the Main Event and many more side events throughout this week as he will be staying for bit longer here in Nottingham.

We are down to the Heads-Up!

  • Numbers from the deal will be revealed later on.

Burrett finds his Waterloo in 4th place (£ 2,350) 15.02.2023 23:39 by Melvin Schroen

Burrett was the chipleader for so long in this tournament. Basically from the moment there were still 30/35 players left, he was leading the pack. But he found his Waterloo on 4th place as he busted with Kings against the Queens from Jeraint Hazan.

Burrett: K K

Hazan: Q Q

The board remained low on the flop with 5 4 6 , but the turn gave Burrett a slap in the face Q , on the river no help got offered with a 5 and the former chipdaddy can go to find the cash desk.

Corrado busts in 5th place (£ 1,850) 15.02.2023 22:59 by Melvin Schroen

We have to say farewell to Corrado Nane. The flamboyant Englishman busts out in 5th place against the 4s from Russel Bowman.

Corrado takes a big one 15.02.2023 22:14 by Melvin Schroen

Corrado had opened the action, followed by a shove from JJ Hazan. It was a classic clash between the titans of the final table:

Corrado: A Q

JJ Hazan: A K

The pot in total was 16,400,000 and Corrado was at risk. The flop revealed directly a straight for Corrado with K J 6 , the turn gave some hope to Hazan however with another diamond on the board 6 , but this time it weren’t diamonds who last forever with the 10 on the river. Nice double up for Corrado here with seven players remaining

Dimitru Enache story ended at 7th place (£ 1,200) 15.02.2023 21:59 by Melvin Schroen


Dimitru Enache managed to get a 7th place for 12x the buy-in. A nice payday but he would definitely be hoping to get more out of it. His last hand went as follow:

Dimitru Q J

JJ Hazan A K

It was up for the races, Dimitru had to find the light in the jar to be able to survive as he had thrown in his last 1,400,000 chips into the middle. Hazan woke up with the goods and was hoping to chip it up, which eventually happened.

The board gave a gutshot for Dimitru with 4 9 K . With three remaining tens in the game it was looking for the straight, but it wouldn’t be happening this time as the turn and river were the 9 and 2 to put Dimitru out on the 7th place.

Sean O’Donnell 8th (£ 950) 15.02.2023 21:48 by Melvin Schroen

Sean got it in for his last 4,150,000 chips and got a call from Russell in the big blind.

Sean A 6

Russell A A

The board appeared to be full of clubs, but it wasn’t in favour of Sean and was about dead already.

J 4 3

A straight flush had to help Sean, but it wouldn’t be happening this time.

River J

Talica is the first victim at the FT (Vlad Talica £ 750) 15.02.2023 21:41 by Melvin Schroen

We saw Talica at risk at the final table. And unfortunately his hand did not improve.

Talica 8 8

Player A Q

The flop gave no help with 10 10 4

The 8 on the turn sealed the deal and it was over and out. The river J was just a formality.

Final Table time – The clash of the titans 15.02.2023 21:37 by Melvin Schroen

We arrived at the final table of the PokerListings Championship. 8 Players have reached the last table of the day, and will all give it all to become the newly crowned champion. Here are the chipcounts of all the remaining players:

Huge Blinds are taking its toll, Final Table has been reached 15.02.2023 20:33 by Melvin Schroen

Blinds: 150,000 / 300,000 (Ante 300,000)

We had to say ”Au Revoir” to Garry Spinks sadly. He had put in his last 3 big blinds and the big blind decided to add a couple chips to make the call.

Colin Lovelock K 5

Garry Spinks 5 9

Garry was asking the dealer to turn over a nine, but he wouldn’t listen and turned over 7 10 5 3 J . Luckily he could handle the bust, as his opponent is a friend of him.

We are down to the final table. Which will be streamed live at Twitch.

JJ Hazan at the feature table 15.02.2023 20:28 by Melvin Schroen

JJ Hazan, travelled to every Festival Series stop so far, is feeling very comfy today as he is grinding his stack up and is sitting in the spotlights at the feature table. JJ is a true friend of the series, and is also providing PLO players a true masterclass at this event. Check the following link for more information, as it will be held at the next Festival most likely as well.

Toivo Ojasoo – Friend of The Festival 15.02.2023 19:51 by Melvin Schroen

Spoke a little bit with PAF-casino qualifier Toivo Ojasoo when he joined the table I am sitting at. He mentioned he had played the Main Event but it didn’t end well for him as he had lost a very unfortunate 3-way clash.

”I had pocket Tens and the flop was 10-K-4, we went 3-way all-in and one player had Ace-King, while the other one had Queens. No idea what he did there with Queens, but OK. The river card was another Queen and he won the 1M pot.”

It happens in poker, but for sure we will see Toivo ‘the friendly Fin’ back in action throughout the upcoming week.

Morel from Estonia recently won another Main Event 15.02.2023 19:38 by Melvin Schroen

Marius Morel, residing in Estonia, just recently just had won a Main Event already. It was the Olybet Holiday Special for $25,191. The event, being held in the Hilton Olympic Park Casino in Tallinn, had attracted 212 entries and had a prize pool of just above $100,000. Let’s see if he can win another major title back-to-back. He is currently playing at the feature table. You want to get to know Morel better? Check the following interview.

We saw a lot of chips laying in the middle of table 36 (Players got moved to the other side of the room due to the Main Event expanding). It was Kovacs who had to decide on the river if he would double up or go home.

Board: [5x][Qx][5x][7x][9x]

Kovacs called eventually the all-in with King-Queen, while his opponent had the goods with pocket 7s. Exit for Kovacs.

Skinner busts 15.02.2023 17:50 by Melvin Schroen

Gorden Skinner, who was the absolute short stack of the tournament, moved all-in from UTG for 325,000 effectively. With Corrado and Taylor both putting in the same amount for a call, it was Grigorie who shoved his 3,500,000 into the middle from the Big Blind and we would see a showdown as Corrado and Taylor folded:

Grigorie: A Q

Skinner: A 4

Help was needed for Skinner, but the poker gods were not convinced to do him a favour.

Board: A 5 7 6 10

We are down to 25 players. Everyone has locked up £ 300 so far, but of course all of them are looking to win the first prize of £ 6,850 + Malta Package. Not bad for a £ 120 buy-in tournament.

At the Dusk Till Dawn Pokerclub it is really comfortable for live reporters to say the least. All the action is located in one big room, with tables close to each other. It makes the step counter on the phone not overloading. Let’s see who we can recognize from the players:

GJ Reggie, a PokerStars Team Online Pro, just managed to chip up during a battle of the blinds. When we joined the action, we saw Vlad Talica timebanking for a while before open-folding Ace-Jack. He had made a 3-bet to spice up the action versus GJ Reggie, but she was not going anywhere and decided to go All-in. Talica threw in a couple timebank cards, soon followed by a muck.

Shaw loses against pocket Jacks 15.02.2023 16:03 by Melvin Schroen

We just saw Eddy Shaw walking away from his seat, after losing a classic flip and his remaining chips. Situations which you just have to win at some point, if you want to reach the final table.

Shaw: A K

Burrett: J J

The board ran out 10 7 5 8 J and Shaw got subbed for a new player at the table. We got 38 players remaining.

The dream ended for Patel 15.02.2023 15:57 by Melvin Schroen

Level 18: 30,000/60,000 (60,000)
Entries: 39/383

Unfortunately for her, Patel just lost her remaining chips when she was up against a player who had Ace-Jack.

Patel: 4 6

Player: A J

The board showed a Jack, and no pairs or straight for Patel. She will be heading to the cash desk to collect her winnings. It’s the first lady who busts out of the tournament today, but with 3 ladies still in the game, we might will crown a female winner today of the PokerListings Championship!

‘I am going to win this thing, trust me pal’ 15.02.2023 15:46 by Melvin Schroen

We spoke a bit with Thomas Ascott, who went through to the second day by surviving Day 1C. He started the day with 2,7 Million in chips and he told us it was like a rollercoaster today. Losing Ace-King against Ace-Queen for example, and then doubling it up again. At least we can say Ascott is full of confidence today of winning this event. GL Sir!

It happened to all of us at least once, being the absolute short stack of the tournament. Priti Patel sadly had lost almost all of her chips against Sigurd Thengilsson from Iceland. It left her with just one chip behind, which she put on the spot right the hand after that. Like a player said at the table – ”It could become a story of a lifetime”. That is, if she manages to keep winning all-ins for the next upcoming time.

The first all-in situation she managed to win, was when she cracked Aces with just [4x][7x], hitting trips 7s on the turn.

Colin Lovelock has got a pile of chips in front of him. Bit hard to count but he is doing well at the moment, that’s for sure as he started off the day with 1,600,000 in chips. We will check later on with him how he accumulated his chips and we will ask him for his love with building castles.

Nane Corrado

One of our favourites for today is Nane Corrado. He is off to a good start as he just knocked out a player with Ace-Jack against Queens. An Ace appeared on the flop and there wasn’t any Queen popping up on the board. Eddy Shaw can straight jump into the Main Event, which is also in full swing at the moment as there are already 55 entrants.

Cornell with Aces 15.02.2023 14:38 by Melvin Schroen

Level 15: 15,000/30,000 (30,000)
Entries: 52/383

The action pre-flop we can only imagine, but on a K-high flop we saw Cornell opening the action with a bet of 250,000. His opponent, Michael Yates opted a reraise for 500,000. Cornell checked his cards once more before putting all his chips in the middle. Yates instantly folded.

It’s a rough start for Yates as he started the day off with 2,7 Million chips.

We saw an all-in after the flop at table 22. Jonas Kovacs went for a clash with one of the current Chipleaders, William McCallum, who was sitting in the big blind and added a couple chips to see the flop.

Ian Vertefouille started the day with only 10 big blinds and he got it in pretty well in the first hand of the day with Ace-Jack. He was up against the Queens of Robert Mitchell and sadly couldn’t spike an Ace. We will say GG to the winner of the Flips ranking of Bratislava. For sure we will see him later on in the Main Event
