| Very early in the game Harwood plays Aces
quietly with a small pre-flop raise. Nowakowski calls with 4-5. The flop
delivers A-2-8 and Harwood checks his trips to allow Nowakowski to bet 300 into
a pot of 450. Harwood just calls. The Turn card is a 3 and check-bet all
in-call gets all the money in. Harwood and everyone else is shocked to
see the straight and with no help on the River the early faller is The
Rock. |
| |
| Daniel Negreanu shows class by taking Ross
out of a hand with second pair. On a flop of A-Q-4 Ross bets with his A-3.
Feeling that he should have been more aggressive with anything other than an
Ace-high kicker Daniel Negreanu felt that a raise holding K-O would make Ross
feel his kicker was too weak. He did and he passed. |
| |
| Short stacked (SS) Negreanu took on Fabrice's all-in A-8 with his A-7.
Most often a tie this one went wrong when the cards came A-2-6-6-3 and the 8
played to take most of Danny's chips. Now very (SS) Danny is taken on with his 10-4 by Ross's
6-3. Ross makes a straight on the flop of 7-4-5 and one of the top players is
gone. |
| |
| Nowakoski's style is one that confuses and
disguises and when he bet the flop of A-Q-A with his A-5, Ross talked
himself into believing it was a bluff and called with his Q-3. No need for it
and he was out. |
| |
| Fabrice (SS) bets all-in on a flop of 7-J-5 with his 8-5. After a
while Vicky calls with J-9 and no help saw them down to two. |
| |
| The Heads-up clash is a contrast of styles.
Vicky is relieved to see several good hands so that the constant raising is
unable to push her aside. All-in wins take her ahead of Nowakowski. Finally he
pushes all the chips in with A-8 and after thought Vicky Lincoln calls with
7-7. A board of 4-5-5-Q-6 puts Vicky into the final and Henry into the
Semi-final. |
