Whitmore gone

Sun, Apr 20th 2008, 18:45 by Reporter

Richard Whitmore moved all-in for 21k on the button and was looked up by Tom Rutter in the big blind. Whitmore’s A 5 was in trouble against Rutter’s A J. There was hope of a chop when the flop fell 9 9 4 and this became hope of a win when 2 landed on the turn. However, the river K quickly put an end to Whitmore’s dreaming and he hit the rail with £1,000.

Howe's about that

Sun, Apr 20th 2008, 17:52 by Reporter

Richard Howe on the button flops two pair with his 9,10 on a board of T 9 Q and makes a small 7,000 bet into small blind Tom Rutter. Rutter calls and then both players quickly check the turn of 3 The 4 on the river is going to change nothing but Howe is still too wary of the straightening flushing board to bet his two pair for value. Rutter shows K T for the single pair and Howe takes a pot of around 25,000.
