Wu'd you believe it

Thu, Dec 4th 2008, 17:40 by Reporter

Colin Wu raises from mid position and is called by Kai Paulsen on the button. The flop comes Q Q K and Wu checks to Paulsen who bets 500, about 2/3rds the pot. Colin Wu thinks for a short while before calling. The turn brings Q and again it’s checked to Paulsen, who throws in a thousand chip declaring a bet of 800. Again Wu calls. The river is a meaningless 2 and now it’s quickly checked by both players. Wu turns over pocket 7s and the aggressor, Kai Paulsen, quickly mucks his hand.

Entrants so far

Day 1A so far has 77 registrants but with entries still being accepted that may increase. Players choosing the first of the two starting days include Rob Akery, who finished 2nd in this event last year, leg winners Rupinder Bedi, Colin Wu and Neil Blatchley, Henning Granstad, Barny Boatman and Victoria Coren. Anthony Hames, who you may have seen rather more than you would have wanted to on TV show Sin Cities, is also playing.

Predictably....
