Gill-holme Mayham

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

We are already informed everyone about Table 2 and all the Aussie online "crushers" that inhabit several of the seats. What we may not have told everyone is that one of those players, Oliver Gill, is quite the talker. It's a small poker room, but over at the media desk, over all the ruffling chips and the table chatter, we can hear Gill word for word. Everyone in the room can hear him. We recently watched Gill partake in a hand and unsurprisingly he was talkative throughout.

The hand in question began with the under the gun +1 player (UTG+1) opening to to 200. The action then folded around to Ben Gilholme in the cutoff and he would make the call. Gill, from the small blind, then three bet to 650. The big blind had a look at his cards and made the call, as did both of the other players involved in the hand.

"Check to see the suit of your cards?" Gill quipped at the big blind.

The dealer flipped over a {9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop and Gill quickly announced a bet of 1,200. The big blind and the UTG+1 both folded and the action was on Gilholme. He made it 2,800 to go and it was back to Gill.

"You got a set or a flush draw or something?" Gill said.

"Nice bet," Gill said as he folded.

"I'm such a nit," he added long after the pot was already in Gilholme's stack. "So easy for you bazooka."

We left the table with our notepad in hand and would hear a few of the players commenting on Gill's non-stop (and somewhat loud) talking.

"Wouldn't poker be boring if everyone was just quiet?" Gill could be heard saying as we wandered back to the media desk.

APPT President Danny McDonagh then announced on the microphone, jokingly, that there was an "excessive chatter" rule in place here at Queenstown that Gill is in danger of breaching. It's unlikely that if such a rule existed that Gill would change his ways, and that's okay by us as it's more enjoyable to watch than some of the players on the tour that we have never heard say a word.
