Chip leader bullying

Sun, Apr 20th 2008, 16:26 by Reporter

Maria Demetriou makes a standard raise to about 10,000 in early position and Spencer Lawrence in the cut off says “well it worked last time” before throwing in 10 pink chips (50,000 total) which just covers Maria’s stack. She gives up the pot after a couple of seconds consideration.

Out of Key?

Sun, Apr 20th 2008, 16:20 by Reporter

C. Young raised to 13k from early position and was called by Ozzy Izuogu in middle position and James Keys in the small blind. The flop came 4 7 3. Keys checked and Young continued for 20k. Izuogu fold and Keys went into the tank. He asked for a count of Young’s remaining chips (13k) and asked Young if he wanted the call. An impassive Young told him to put his chips in if he wanted to find out. After a much deliberating and riffling of chips, Keys folded J J face up. An astonished Young tabled A K and raked the pot. Some might argue that if you’re going to fold jacks against a short-stack on a seven-high flop, you may as well not play them in the first place.

Millar ground down

Michael Millar moved all-in for around 25k on the button and Gary Moore deliberated before making what looked like a reluctant call in the big blind. He was in good shape, however, as Millar had just Q 4 against his 9 9. The board ran out 6 J T 3 K and Millar hit the rail.
