Stephen Reid - Out.

Sat, Oct 25th 2008, 01:35 by Reporter

On a flop of 9 Q 4 and a fair few chips in the middle, Reid bets out 5,000 and is re-raised 20,000 by P Hambleton.

Reid moves all in and is called instantly by Hambleton who tables Q 9 for two-pair. Reid shows 6 3 for the flush draw.

The turn ends it quickly as it’s another 9, giving Hambleton a full house. The river of a Q improves his hand even more to knock Reid out of the tournament with 8 mins left of play for today.
