Although Flight 3 looked to be going swell for the Carbon Team, the luck soon ran out. Pitted in a tough field of 288 entrants, which was 100 odd more than started in flight 1, and amongst a host of pros, it was stacked up against them.

The pros struck soon after dinner break, and while Vader46 was busy dueling with Unabomber Laak, his pro partner Jennifer Tily, busted dezilk out in a tough match up. Details on this hand will be posted soon.

Vader46’s campaign for Carbon, looking every bit the dark side his moniker suggets, clad in black Carbon hoodie didnt go unnoticed at the feature table with a pro or two commenting on the youngsters play. He currently sits a little short stacked, but far from out as we prepare to enter day 2.

Sliekas despite being busted earlier in the day was milling around the ropes with fellow Carbon Hosts, Cory and Liam lending their support to the players still battling on. Nice team spirit guys!

Stay tuned for more updates shortly.

Vader46 has been for the last two sessions, sitting at the featured table with a number of well known players and that infamous Unabomber aka, Phil Laak. Here how a few hands have played out…

Vader raises preflop at 100/200 blinds. Others fold and Laak makes the call. The flop comes a sea of diamonds with J being the highest. Laak leads the action with a sizeable bet, which Vader calls, a 6 of spades falls on the turn and the betting pattern continues. Finally the river is dealt and Laak in light of Vaders calls, checks as Vader follows with a big bet. Laak folds and Vader46 takes down a big pot.

Straight from the floor phoned to the bloggers desk: Vader vs Laak round #2.

Both hold AK, some raise, then re raises before the flop leave only the two in the hand with a juicy pot to be won, the flop comes and is inconsequential apart from the possible flush draw. Vader who holds the K of clubs is one card away from the second best hand. The turn and river come but nothing changes, either way its a huge pot and the crowd is watching with baited breath. The pot is split and Vader cracks a smile as Laak rambles on abut mind control techniques.
