Riviera Back On Top.
Well never a dull night down the Den with Riviera Rick taking back the top spot for the first time in five games with a convincing win beating Cheese Basil with Pocket Tens Versus Adam’s King Seven. Mucker Bell takes 3rd pulling back up the League to 4th with a nice game. Tony Fat Hands subbing in for Strack Attack on the bubble pulled 4th with Micky Re-Raise getting another decent point result in 5th. Fast Eddie losing his Christmas number one spot in 6th dropping to 2nd in the league. Larris Lee was out in 7th though she holds on to her top 3 placing. Small Hands Mandy filling in for luvvie Mr Mantle out in 8th. Another low placing for Amos the Ace out in 9th and Undercover Brother Chris Cook going out 1st spot. Other Bonus Points won were by Tony Fat Hands with a Full House Ace’s full of Queens. Riviera Rick did his head count some good by taking out 4 on his way to victory. Check out D.S.P.L for standings.
Mantle Goes Mental.
Well Round 6 was an all singing all dancing affair with Mr Mantle taking the spoils and bragging rights with his first win of the Season. Well done to Re-raise Reynolds with his first cash and a solid second place. Third was Larris Lee with some nice Poker picking up some nice points to boot. Fourth saw Fast Eddie hold on to first place in the standings. Fifth goes to Crazy Chris dropping a place but holding onto third spot. Sixth went to Riviera Rick who moves back up to fourth just out of the cash spots. The Dens Mucker Bell was next picking up a few points but stays in the same spot in the League. Eighth was Cheese Basil starting well but fading out. Ninth was Strack Attack falling futher down the League but above Mucker on Head takes and last but not least Amos the Ace going from first last game to first out with no points earned. Bonus points up for grabs went to Micky Re-raise with most heads and Cheese Basil taking the best hand of the night with a straight flush 2 to 6. Epic night of Poker had by all with the League still pretty tight but with four games to go anything could happen.
Amos Wins.
Well a great game of Poker as always as we hit the half way stage of D.S.P.L 1. Plenty of battles and chip shifts throughout the night seeing another poor result for Adam Cheese going out in first. Strack Attack was League leader but with a second out sees him slip down to fourth. Next to drop was our very own Mucker Bell who also falls slightly off the pace but still nothing in the between the top Seven but a few points. Next was current second spot Crazy Chris who cements his second place. Out in sixth was Fat Hands Tony subbing in AGAIN for Micky No Show then we saw Riviera Rick dropping out in fifth with a well grinded six points being short most of the night. Bubble time saw Mandy Small hands leave proceedings with a steady fourth subbing in for Larris Lee, so we hit the cash spots with Jim All in making a nice third after some poor form you’re not down the G Casino now Mantle. Heads Up with a show down between Amos the Ace and Fast Eddie, seeing some quick all in’s with chips shifting back and fourth saw Amos hit Broadway against Fast Eddie’s two pair. S Amos takes the spoils and bragging rights for this month but Fast eddie takes most heads and Scott hitting the best hand of the night with Aces full of Nines. Epic game had by all with the League wide open and all to play for.

What a game we had in Round 3 of D.S.P.L with Strack Attack taking down another win with Max Points to boot taking 5 Heads on his way to Victory, he also pulled best hand of the night with Quad Jacks. Fast Eddie was unlucky to lose to Scott hitting his two pair on the river. Riviera Rick keeps his second spot with a well grinded third going short a few times. Larris Lee played well taking a fourth spot and going out on the bubble. It was Mucker Bell in fifth holding on with a short stack to pick up some vital points. Crazy Chris recklessly shoved a Pocket pair with Eddie doing the damage. Jim All in did ok as did Amos the Ace but Adam Cheese and Big Tony standing in for Mick 2 going early. Great night of Poker with the League blown wide open all to play for with plenty of points up for grabs, roll on Round 4.

Confirmed Runners for Saturdays Deep Stack are Mucker Bell, Facebook Cook, Re-Raise Reynolds, Mad Man Bentley, Mr Mantle, Mad Sam Chadwick and a return from Fast Eddie.
3rd Time Lucky for Mickle Pickle
Well it proved to be 3rd time lucky for The Mac, having not showed to the previous two games he won on his 3rd, Re-Raise was in fine form taking a nice stack from Fast Eddie, not so lucky for Eddie who also was back in The Den at the 3rd time of asking. The other spots were made up of a nice Mantle 2nd and a steady 3rd for Mucker Bell, unlucky to Jim still searching for that 2011 Win. Another consecutive First out for Facebook Cook, Surprised ? Thanks to everyone who tuned in on Blog T.V hope to see you again soon.
——————– 26/2/11 ——————–
Well what can we say, it seems Saturday is the new Friday at Duke Street Poker. A Friday Game was looking thin till we switched to Saturday getting an instant response.
This week Den regular Riviera Rick will be looking for his 3rd Winning Game and his 4th Cash in a row, can The River flow to the bank or will Mucker Bell put an end to the run with a possible 3rd Heads Up Battle in the making. Making up the other spots are, Larras Lee looking for her 2nd Cash in as many games, our very own Mr Mantle, the return of Fast Eddie and Jon The Baptist plus Crazy Chris searching for a win in 2011, there are also two unknowns entering The Den for the 1st time (more info to follow). Don’t forget to watch on Blog T.V if you cant make the game.
Four In A Row For Rick
Massive well done to Riviera Rick for his 4th Cash in a row and his 3rd Winning Spot in a row. A Great Heads Up Battle with The Mucker (again) these two players are on fire in The Den and deserved their placings with Jon the Baptist proving hard to knock out, Larras Lee getting 4th with Den new comer Mark Le Shark coming in 5th out of a possible 8 Runners, unfortunately Fast Eddie, Mickle Pickle and Mr Mantle no shows. We can forgive Jim as he played at G-Casino Manchester and went deep in a UKIPT Qualifier, just missing out on a ticket (Poor Mantle). Thanks to everyone who tuned in on Blog T.V with some 25 people checking in on the action.

Winner Rick with 2nd spot Mucker Bell
A small game but with great quality, Riviera Rick managed to take the win for two wins a row and a third consecutive cash, Mucker Bell also made it a 3rd cash in a row with a repeat Final. Larras Lee also broke her bad run of form at the expense of Facebook Cook who crashed out early, Mr Mantle Jim All in made up the 3rd spot with a great display early on, a hand of note was the 3 way action Straight vs Two Pair vs Flush Draw, Mucker with the Straight and Jim with the Two pair, Riviera hitting the Flush on 4th Street, Rick was made to sweat Mantles Full House chance on the river but it didn’t occur, Mucker Bell took the rest of Mr Mantles stack leaving the two friends Heads up.
A great Heads up encounter, with the chips moving back and forth, in the end the two triple cashes were all in with Riviera having Pocket Kings vs Muckers Ace Jack. Another sweat for Rick as the cards are dealt but no Ace comes with Rick just out weighing Louie by a few hundred chips. Epic.
Thanks to everyone great standard as usual.
——————– 05/02/11 ——————–
Only Six runners and riders in the Den this week, so far Mucker Bell, Larras Lee, Mr Mantle, Fast Eddie, Facebook Cook and newcomer Jon “Le Bon” Jovi, contact us if you fancy a game.
Mucker Bell Triumphs
Another live stream success seeing Mucker Bell come out on top with a heads up show down with Jim All in with Facebook Cook finishing the line up. Great game with a crazy Ace-Ace vs Ace-Ace all in, both pocket Aces for hole cards a rare occurrence and quite funny to see the disapointed faces as both cards are shown. Some great singing performed by our very own Mr Mantle and general good times and laughs.
