Greenwood felled

On a flop of 7 3 A Colin Wu bets 35,000 and Mark Greenwood moves all in. Wu is happy to call with his top two pair – A 7 whilst Grrenwood’s A 10 needs to find another ten. The J gives Greenwood a few more outs but the 6 on the river is no good for him.
Greenwood out, Wu continues to amass chips.

Findlay Lapped

Sun, Mar 2nd 2008, 22:40 by Reporter

His table image in tatters, Richard Lapwood raised under the gun and somehow managed to get through to Alistair Findlay in the big blind. Findlay moved all-in with A T and Lapwood called with A A. Back-to-back aces are rare but back-to-back cracked aces are as rare as hen’s teeth. Sadly for Findlay it wasn’t to be as the board ran out 3 K 7 8 4. He left the tournament £1850 to the good in 9th place.

Aces cracked

Sun, Mar 2nd 2008, 22:36 by Reporter

Richard Lapwood is second to act and raises to 22,000. Immediately to his left Jamie Coonan moves all in and the action folds back round to Lapwood. He has no decision to make as he holds A A and gets his chips in. Coonan only has K J but he loves the sight of J and J appearing on the flop and turn. No ace for Lapwood on the river and Coonan doubles up.
Afterwards Lapwood claims “my image is shattered now.”

End of break

Sun, Mar 2nd 2008, 21:50 by Reporter

John Higgins moved all-in under the gun and was called by Colin Wu on his immediate left. It was folded around to John Lynch who deliberated before folding J J face up. Higgins found himself in a tight snooker with K T against Wu’s A K and a flop of Q 5 A left him needing one of the two remaining jacks to escape. Turn 6 and river 8 were bricks and Higgins exited the tournament in 10th place, picking up £1,500.

Keith Wright raises to 22,000 from the cut off and Richard Lapwood re-raises to 52,000 from the big blind.

He calls and shows just 10 8
4 6 2 6 A are no help to Wright and he is out. Lapwood moves past 500k.

D'Agostino è busto

Sun, Mar 2nd 2008, 21:40 by Reporter

Small blind Gabriel d’Agostino moved all-in for another 13400 and Richard Lapwood made the obligatory call from the big blind. D’Agostino might have been justified in thinking that his 6 5 would be live but Lapwood had him dominated with J 6. A flop of 4 8 6 gave d’Agostino extra outs but it was not to be as Q J fell on turn and river, sending him out in 12th place.
