In a reasonable display of aggression from both parties preflop, Chris Davies bets out 4k into a 9k pot on a flop 5 2 4 with 88

Julian raises with AKo setting Chris all in and Chris calls.

Unfortunately for Chris, Julian spikes a King on the river and jumps from 22k up to just over 38k.

Didn't they do well....

Fri, Jun 20th 2008, 20:25 by Reporter

Whilst munching on my buffet food, I noted a few things:

1. There was a prize draw (boring – we didn’t win)

2. The prizes were handed out by girls dessed glamur…glamer….nicely (initially interesting, but became boring when they didn’t hand over a telephone number – going for broke, I also asked for their room number in the hotel. I’m not sure there is a room called “sod off you letch” but I intend finding out)

Prizes were as follows:

1st – iPod Nano – Frank Flannagan
2nd – Watch – Chris Burtram
3rd – iPod Shuffle – Robert Golding

3. Tournament back off dinner break now with 83 players remaining.

Calvin got muppetted by Jack on table ten

Fri, Jun 20th 2008, 20:12 by Reporter

Apparently.

We’re not sure who Calvin is or, for that matter, Jack.

Or even what ‘muppetting’ entails.

But it sounds painful. Or maybe fun.

The queue for the buffet is pretty long, and we’re bored. Normal service will resume shortly.

Two players have been involved in all-ins twice with the same hands against each other.

James Gawen has had A J both times and been the chipleader both times against Chris Davis who has had AK unsuited both times, and each time on a Q-high flop.

Live poker is rigged…

'Bluffer Dale' calls for card, misses, pushes anyway

Fri, Jun 20th 2008, 18:26 by Reporter

On a flop of 6 7 8 Matt calls a 2k bet on the button from an EP bet. Calling for a ten, the turn hits 9 and after an EP check, Matt shoves in. The EP folds in disgust. Matt’s final words were “gutshot for the win….”
