What a round we witnessed at the Villa Marina yesterday! On the top three boards, Adams and Sargissian were both held to draws by Raznikov and Popilski, while Vachier-Lagrave, who had a certain edge throughout most of the game, finally got the better of Tarjan as the latter went astray with an unfortunate series of moves just before making time control.

After the morning fun “Simultaneous Chess & Poker” event, things started getting serious for the chess/pokerplayers at the Villa Marina last night. In what was the first ever official chess and poker combination tournament to be held (and what is more, part of the official UKIPT schedule) the players were first going to battle it out during 5 rounds of blitz chess, before heading to the Royal Hall in order to switch to No Limit Hold’Em poker. The default stack for the poker tournament was 8000 chips, but every win in the chess portion was worth another 1000 chips, with a draw netting you 500 more chips.

This morning at around 11am the first ever "Simultaneous Chess & Poker" event took place here on the Isle of Man. Jennifer Shahade took on 3 opponents at chess and 3 opponents at poker and scored an incredible 5-1, with only Norway’s Baard Dahl being able to beat her in their poker heads up duel. Jennifer’s other two poker opponents were France’s Alexandre Dreyfus and Denmark’s Mickey Petersen. The “chess team” consisted of tournament Chairman Alan Ormsby, Committee member Zahed Miah and professional poker player Isaac Haxton.
