Hold it right there

Sat, Sep 20th 2008, 16:48 by Reporter

For a moment Loraine Clark’s JJ seems to have suffered a bad beat on the river when K Fairly’s 10s make a set on the river. Just as Fairly is pulling the chips in though a cry of “straight!” goes up and everyone notices that Clark has not been unlucky after all.
Fairly has to release the chips and they head towards Clark’s end of the table instead.

Chips on the move at table 5

Sat, Sep 20th 2008, 16:31 by Reporter

At table 5 the flop of 9 4 A is checked to Anthony Holden who bets 1400 into a pot of 2150. Bradley Varnham check raises to 3000 but doesn’t like what he sees when Holden moves all in for around 16000.
Varnham checks his cards and we see that he has A K He’s worried that Holden has a set of fours, but after checking his cards again and finding that top pair top kicker is still his hand he decides that he can’t fold and sticks his chips in. He’s right to call as Holden only has A 10 and 2 2 don’t change anything. Varnham doubles up.

With the board reading A 8 5 4 Babawande Obadun bet 2500 into a pot of around 3000 and was called by John Littler. The river was 5 and Littler checked to Obadun who moved all-in for 7500. Littler, who was covered, grimaced and made the call and flipped over A K. Obadun declined to show his hand and made to leave the table before it was pointed out to him that he was still in possession of a tiny stack.

Spyrou falls in the first level

Sat, Sep 20th 2008, 16:10 by Reporter

Andy Spyrou was miles ahead when he flopped a set of 2s but 5s on both the turn and river gave his opponent a bigger full house holding 5 2. Unsurprisingly all the money went in on the turn and Spyrou was knocked out of the tournament on a two-outer.
