Oliver Stone directs dramatic finale

Sat, Apr 19th 2008, 01:50 by Reporter

Having spent the last hour folding and bemoaning his abysmal hole cards, Oliver Stone finally puts in a pre-flop raise – an additional 5400. Surely this will command enormous respect from the rest of the table? It is folded to Tuan Le in the big blind who reraises another 9000. Stone ponders briefly before moving all-in for a further 14900 and Le insta-calls. He has the goods, K K, but Stone’s A J is not without hope. The board runs out 7 4 8 ... Stone arises and dons his jacket… 4 ... Stone raps his knuckles on the table in recognition of Le’s hand… A! He sits back down. Former chip leader Le is crippled.

Ozzy Ozzy Ozzy, Oi Oi Oi

Sat, Apr 19th 2008, 01:35 by Reporter

Ray Gilbert raised to 4k in early position and Ozzy Izuogu reraised to 12k from the cut-off, with just 4.5k behind. Gilbert announced he had a decision to make before eventually setting Izuogu all-in. The call was obligatory. Q Q for Izuogu, A J for Gilbert. The board fell 8 7 3 7 6, giving Izuogu a much needed boost.

Kev Smith Chasing Aceys

Sat, Apr 19th 2008, 01:33 by Reporter

On a board of 5 8 T Dave Maudlin bets out and is reraised all-in by Kev Smith. Dave thinks for several minutes before a third player calls the clock. He eventually makes the call, almost 30,000 and a large portion of his stack, showing just pocket 9s.

It’s a great call and the 9s are ahead to the A 8 of Smith, only for the A and T to follow and give Smith the better two pair and one of the largest stacks left.

Millar grinds Le's stack

Sat, Apr 19th 2008, 01:25 by Reporter

Michael Millar raised to 5,000 in early position and Tuan Le reraised to 15,000 in the cut-off. Millar called. The flop was 5 7 4. Millar moved all-in for 11,900 and Le quickly called. 7 7 gave Millar top set, which was virtually invincible against Le’s A T. Turn and river were A 6 and Millar doubled up.

Burton Knocks out Marco Camilleri

Sat, Apr 19th 2008, 01:10 by Reporter

A short stacked Camilleri moves in for his final chips and is called by 3 other players.

The flop comes 3 9 7 and Burton bets out. All other players fold and Burton shows his Aces which is behind Cameilleri’s 9 3 for two pair.

The turn produces a 5 and the river is a 7 which gives Burton a better two pair to knock out Camilleri.
