Morelli bites the dust

Sun, Mar 2nd 2008, 15:59 by Reporter

Robbie Morelli doesn’t give Charles Denton’s re-raise credit and he moves all in. Denton calls and shows A K which is looking good against Morelli’s K 8 . Morelli needs an 8 or exactly 3 spades to stay alive but his hopes soon fade. A 10 4 Q 2 sees Denton collect all Morelli’s chips

Shahid Aslami eliminated

Sun, Mar 2nd 2008, 15:40 by Reporter

Shahid Aslami got it all-in pre-flop with A-T against Jamie Coonan’s 8-8. Aslam must have thought he was home and dry when he flopped K-Q-J for the broadway straight. The poker gods, however, had other ideas. Turn 8, river Q and Aslam hit the rail.

Rizwan Hussein won't be bullied

Sun, Mar 2nd 2008, 15:35 by Reporter

With 10,000 in the pot, John Welsh bets 7,000 on the flop of 9 J 4 Hussein does not have one of the bigger stacks so he needs to get his decision right here. He calls and Welsh fires again for 8,000 when J is the turn card. Hussein calls again and the river is 8
With two bets already called Welsh presumably thinks he will not be able to get Hussein off his hand with a third bullet.
He checks, Hussein checks behind and turns over his cards. His 8 10 for the straight draw turned into one pair on the river and that’s good enough to win. Welsh mucks.
