Moss at a loss

Sun, Apr 20th 2008, 02:05 by Reporter

Paul Moss raised to 3500 on the button and chip leader S. Lawrence peeled off the extra 1900 from the big blind. The flop came down J 9 2 and Lawrence checked. Moss bet 4100 and Lawrence deliberated before raising to 12k. Moss insta-pushed for a further 30k-ish and Lawrence called. Moss revealed his red aces with a flourish but was aghast to see Lawrence’s black twos. K 9 on the turn and river sent Moss to the rail on the very last hand of a nine hour shift. It’s a cruel game. Lawrence will start day 2 with an gargantuan stack of 197k.

Sun, Apr 20th 2008, 01:30 by Reporter

G. McCarthy raised to 4k on the button and Daniel Byrom reraised to 10k in the small blind. The big blind stepped aside and McCarthy added another 10k. Byrom insta-pushed and McCarthy insta-called for his remaining 25k. A A for McCarthy, J J for Byrom. There were no fireworks from the dealer as the aces held up on a 5 T 4 T 3 board.

Frazer gone

Sun, Apr 20th 2008, 00:55 by Reporter

Ian Frazer raised on the button and Richard Howe set him all-in. A quick call from Frazer and it was a classic race: ace-king for Frazer against the pocket tens of Howe. A ten high board spelled the end of Frazer’s bid.
