Kevin puts in a small bet pre-flop to see
his K-J hearts pick up a flush and straight draw from A-Q-4, two hearts. He
bets again, is raised by Trumper with 2-pair and he gets all-in. No help,
O'Connell is out but manages to get a good jibe in during the player
interview, calling Trumper a 'smug bastard'. Handbags at 10 paces girls. |
|
Hellmuth makes a flush on the flop but
Shoreman bets infront of him with the bare Ace and a draw for the nuts.
Hellmuth makes his move all-in but Shoreman draws his fourth diamond on the
flop to make a bigger flush. Hellmuth left with 100 chips. Shortly afterwards
he triples that with a pair of nines that make a straight but then gets all-in
with A-4 against Pascal with A-10. The Ten holds up and Hellmuth is
out. |
|
Pascal caught Ram bluff raising with 7-5
clubs and got all-in. Ram spiked both a 7 and 5 and Pascal was
gone. |
|
Ram Vaswani becomes chip leader but then
begins a sequence of hands that he need not of played. 2-2 vs K-Q of Trumper,
A-T vs K-K of Colclough and K-Q vs A-J of Shoreman. Soon after he got all-in
with A-T vs K-J of Trumper but a King came on 4th and Ram was out after
a steamy period where he lacked control. |
|
Up and down in chips finally tells for
Colclough when he gets in A-9 vs K-Q of Trumper. Favourite but the Q comes with
no Ace. Colclough out. |
|
The heads-up battle finished when
Shoreman underplayed his Ace high, betting small enough for
Trumper to call. An Ace on the flop let Shoreman bet all in but the flop
also had three spades and Trumper's 9-3 spades stood up to take the last spot
in the final next week. |
