Sun, Apr 20th 2008, 19:45 by Reporter

Dave Maudlin raised to 21k in middle position and Gordon McArthur reraised to 45k in the cut-off. Maudlin called. The flop was 9 4 4. Maudlin checked to McArthur who moved all-in for his remaining 36k. With 145k in the pot and odds of 4/1 on the call, Maudlin went into the tank. He thought, asked the dealer how much the bet was, thought a bit more, asked the dealer again, thought even more and finally the clock was called. He called with 7 7. McArthur had K K. The turn and river were T 8 and McArthur doubled up to around 180k.

Collins all-in

Sun, Apr 20th 2008, 19:25 by Reporter

Richard Howe makes it 10,700 in early position and it’s folded around to Steven Collins in the small blind who pushes all in for 37,400 more. Howe thinks for a couple of minutes counting his stack, which wouldn’t be too badly damaged even if he called and lost, but decides against it and eventually passes having spent half of the 10 minute break playing the hand.
