| Jesse May is joined in the talk box by Lucy
Rokach, an accomplished player from the midlands. |
| |
| Lundberg slow plays QQ vs 99 which
makes trips on the flop for Flood. A little later Flood takes him off the table
with a flush, not much skill action. |
| Hellmuth makes a scene (unusual) when the
floor manager puts the clock on him, "is that the custom here", he tries. That
prompts him into an all-in against Flood holding 4-7, the board [9-7-3]. Flood
with 8-8 passes after thought. |
| Hellmuth strokes money from Keiner with a
full house. |
| Plant puts it all in with A-7 clubs and is
called by Flood with JJ. The pair stands. Exit Plant. |
| Coren gets all in with KQ against J9
but Cohen lucks a 9. She goes. |
| Keiner calls all in A-9 vs AK from
Hellmuth - no improvement for either side. |
| Flood loses big AJ ys AQ for Cohen
and then goes out short stacked when the Hellmuth and Cohen check it all the
way. Then there were two. |
| A battle of wits ensues, Hellmuth
doesn't have a chance because the Frenchman pretends not to understand English.
Then in an embarrassment he calls Cohen flush with a pair but puts all
his money across the line. He claims to have just called but had gone all in.
In the short interview he said that it was frustrating to be out drawn but he
was out-played. If he had any followers left, he got rid of them in this
show. |
| |
| The new format didn't help the show at all.
No tension and no idea of progression could be detected and whats that into'
all about? |
