Monster pot for Matthews

Crazy action as Neil Stewart raises to 11000, John Welsh re-raises to 31000, Rory Matthews moves all in from the button and Rizwan Hussein joins in by shoving his last 10000 in as well.
The action is back to Neil Stewart who gets the rest of his chips in and there is a massive pot already as Welsh now has to decide. He already has a third of his chips invested in this pot but everyone is representing big big hands. After much shaking of the head he passes and we see the three remaining hands.
Stewart A K
Matthews A A
Hussein 6 8

The board fills up J 3 8 Q J Hussein’s call on the assumption that there would plenty of dead money has worked and he takes the main pot. It’s the side pot that contains all the chips though and Matthews’ aces win that.
John Welsh says he passed AK with the A

Cooler for McCool

Rory Matthews raises to 8000 and Mick McCool moves all in. Matthews calls with his pocket eights but is a long way behind McCool’s pocket kings.
They suddenly go a long way ahead of kings though as there is an eight on the flop followed by another one on the river for quads.

The very next hand McCool shoves the last of his chips in with 6 6 but John Welsh’s 10 10 also flops a set and McCool is out.

Rizwan Hussein won't be bullied

With 10,000 in the pot, John Welsh bets 7,000 on the flop of 9 J 4 Hussein does not have one of the bigger stacks so he needs to get his decision right here. He calls and Welsh fires again for 8,000 when J is the turn card. Hussein calls again and the river is 8
With two bets already called Welsh presumably thinks he will not be able to get Hussein off his hand with a third bullet.
He checks, Hussein checks behind and turns over his cards. His 8 10 for the straight draw turned into one pair on the river and that’s good enough to win. Welsh mucks.
