Ford crashes

Mon, Sep 22nd 2008, 00:31 by Reporter

Zachary Ford raised to 45k in the cut-off and Saleh Mahargh re-raised all-in for an additional 189k in the big blind. Ford told Mahargh that he had folded in a similar situation a few rounds earlier but was going to look him up this time and tabled 6 6. A coin flip at best and best this was not since Mahargh had T T. The board fell Q A 4 9 Q and Mahargh’s hand held up. He scooped a monster pot and put a severe dent in Ford’s stack.

Shahid all in

Mon, Sep 22nd 2008, 00:27 by Reporter

Wass Shahid moves the last of his 43,500 chips in and Alistair Findlay calls from the button. Lee Birchall looks for a moment as though he might be interested but dumps his hand.
Findlay shows first and has J K . Unsurprisingly he’s not ahead – Shahid has A 4 and he is pleased to see 9 6 3 Q 8 which doubles him up.

Rodgered

Mon, Sep 22nd 2008, 00:18 by Reporter

G Rodger moved all-in for 44k in middle position and was called by “Skullman” Gerald David in the big blind. Rodger’s black queens were in good shape against “Skullman’s” K Q. The 9 7 4 flop was good for the all-in player but the K on the turn left him drawing to the one remaining queen. The J on the river sealed Rodger’s fate and he exits the tournament in 8th place, collecting £3,000 for his efforts.

Abolins abolished

Sun, Sep 21st 2008, 23:35 by Reporter

Gala Poker online qualifier Luke Abolins moved all-in under the gun for 122k and “Skullman” Gerald David called in the cut-off with black tens. They were in good shape against the A 9 of Abolins. A board of 6 K Q 7 J improved neither hand and Abolins is the first player to depart the final table.
