McGeough falls down Hill

Fri, Sep 19th 2008, 20:03 by Reporter

After some unknown preflop action, Nigel Hill bet 700 on a flop of 6 3 2. Martin McGeough raised to 1500 and Hill called. Hill checked when the 9 turned, and McGeough bet 2000. Hill quickly called. The 9 on the river was again checked by Hill and this time McGeough moved his remaining 5750 chips into the middle. Hill agonised before making the call. McGeough revealed a pocket pair, 7 7, and a relieved Hill slapped his A A onto the table in triumph.

G David gets it all in pre flop against Stephen Frew with David’s J J in good shape against Frew’s 10 10 There is no help for Frew when 8 9 5 4 7 fall and with 1200 also in the pot from Dominic Rossookh who had to fold pre flop, it’s more like a treble up than a double for David.

Eagles sore

Fri, Sep 19th 2008, 18:40 by Reporter

F Stewart raised to 500 in middle position and was called by Mark Baxter on his immediate left. Roy Eagles moved all-in for his remaining 1950. G Rodger re-raised to 4000 from the cut-off in an attempt to isolate and it was folded back round to Baxter. He deliberated before peeling off the call. Baxter checked a flop of J 5 4 and folded when Rodger continued for 4000. On their backs for the main pot: top-pair-top-kicker for Eagles with A J, overpair for Rodger with Q Q. Turn and river of 7 5 did not help Eagles as he flew out of the tournament.
