Three way action

Sat, Apr 19th 2008, 22:45 by Reporter

Three players got it all-in pre-flop on table 5. R. Dawson, as if to excuse a dodgy call, said he was “gambling” with his Q Q but was astonished to find himself in decent shape against Mark Turnball’s A J and Carl Walker’s K J. The flop was Q T 9 and Dawson exclaimed his approbation before Walker pointed out that he’d flopped a straight. Dawson then asked for the board to pair but 4 8 wrapped up the hand without further excitement. Turnball out, Dawson crippled and Walker a very happy man.

Dhiri doubles up

Sat, Apr 19th 2008, 22:15 by Reporter

Raj Dhiri raised to 1200 and Steven Hogg reraised to 4000. Dhiri counted out his stack and shrugged as if to say he didn’t have enough to just call, so he pushed all-in for a further 4500. Hogg made the call with 8 8 and was in bad shape against Dhiri’s A A. A flop of T 3 9 all but nullified one of Hogg’s two outs and turn 3 river 5 sealed the deal for Dhiri. A much needed double up with blinds at 300/600.
