Lapwood gone

Richard Lapwood moves his bowl of rice into the middle and is called by Robin Yiltalo and Colin Wu in the blinds. They check it down all the way and the final board reads 2 4 7 9 3. Lapwood shows 4 3 for two pair but Yiltalo has a bigger two pair with 9 2 and former chip leader Lapwood hits the rail taking 5th place and £5100.

Raising war

Colin Wu and Richard Lapwood trade raises pre-flop until they are both all in.
Lapwood’s A K is well ahead of Wu’s K J but there is something for both of them on the flop of 9 J 8
The 5 K that follow sees nearly all of Lapwood’s chips move over to Wu. It’s surely curtains for Lapwood now.

Yiltalo Laps it up

Richard Lapwood completes his small blind and Robin Yiltalo declines his option in the big blind. The flop is A K 4. Lapwood leads out for 28k and Yiltalo calls. Both check the 2 on the turn and Lapwood bets 45k when 7 falls on the river. Yiltalo counts out the call, holds the chips over the call line, and asks Lapwood if he has the ace. Lapwood shrugs and that seems to be enough for Yiltalo as he places the chips on the felt. Lapwood sheepishly shows 6 8 and Yiltalo scoops a healthy pot with K 6. It looks like the young Swede may have his veteran opponent’s number.

Findlay Lapped

His table image in tatters, Richard Lapwood raised under the gun and somehow managed to get through to Alistair Findlay in the big blind. Findlay moved all-in with A T and Lapwood called with A A. Back-to-back aces are rare but back-to-back cracked aces are as rare as hen’s teeth. Sadly for Findlay it wasn’t to be as the board ran out 3 K 7 8 4. He left the tournament £1850 to the good in 9th place.

Aces cracked

Richard Lapwood is second to act and raises to 22,000. Immediately to his left Jamie Coonan moves all in and the action folds back round to Lapwood. He has no decision to make as he holds A A and gets his chips in. Coonan only has K J but he loves the sight of J and J appearing on the flop and turn. No ace for Lapwood on the river and Coonan doubles up.
Afterwards Lapwood claims “my image is shattered now.”

Keith Wright raises to 22,000 from the cut off and Richard Lapwood re-raises to 52,000 from the big blind. Wright’s further raise to 82,000 has Lapwood pondering whether he has just run into aces but isn’t going to fold his K K He’s all in and by now Wright is far too committed to fold. He calls and shows just 10 8
4 6 2 6 A are no help to Wright and he is out. Lapwood moves past 500k.

D'Agostino è busto

Sun, Mar 2nd 2008, 21:40 by Reporter

Small blind Gabriel d’Agostino moved all-in for another 13400 and Richard Lapwood made the obligatory call from the big blind. D’Agostino might have been justified in thinking that his 6 5 would be live but Lapwood had him dominated with J 6. A flop of 4 8 6 gave d’Agostino extra outs but it was not to be as Q J fell on turn and river, sending him out in 12th place.

Nick Wright out in 13th

Nick Wright pushes for about 70,000 with KQ preflop and Richard Lapwood thinks for an age before calling with AQ. The Q comes on the flop and the ace on the river and Nick is out in 13th.
