Chu chewed

Sat, Sep 20th 2008, 23:24 by Reporter

With unknown pre-flop action, Garwo Chu made a big bet on a flop of J 4 2 and Niko Hninen moved all-in for a further 8500. The size of Chu’s first bet meant that the pot was now so large that he could not sensibly fold and he counted out the call. He was left with just 1500 behind. Chu’s Q J were drawing very thin against Hninen’s 2 2. Turn and river of T J did not help Chu and he will struggle to survive more than a few hands.

It's all happening

Sat, Sep 20th 2008, 22:51 by Reporter

On table 1 S Mahargh’s raise is re-popped by David Doyle who moves all in pre flop. Mahargh is relieved to find that he’s made the right call when his AQ emerges well ahead of Doyle’s A 2
The flop brings hope for Doyle with two more hearts but there is no further hope and Mahargh gets all his chips.

Immediately afterwards Larry Bale and Lee Connett also get it all in pre flop with Bale holding Q Q to Connett’s big slick. The appearance of an ace seems to have won it for Connett until a fourth club falls on the river to give Bale a flush and knock out the unfortunate Connett.
