| Erratic early play from all. Marty played
3-3 all the way to no avail and then put down J-J to a small pre-flop raise.
Twice Bush raised pre-flop and A-K and J-J to pass each time with no
contest! |
| |
| Surinder picked up a large pot to establish
himself as chip leader with A-T against A-K of Golser. The flop of A-T-6 lets
Golser trap call Surinder's small bet. The turn brings a third spade and gives
Golser a nut-flush draw so he chooses now to raise Surinder all-in. Call. The
River is no help and Golser is Short stacked (SS).
|
| |
| Soon Golser plays K-9 and sees 6-7-8 on the
flop, he sets himself all-in. Marty calls for the small bet with A-5, a
straight draw where the Ace is leading. No help and Golser is first
out. |
| |
| Keston makes a move all-in with T-T but
chip leader Surinder considers the risk small to his position and calls with
A-Q. A middle of Q-6-K-J-2 sees Keston gone. |
| |
| Bush bets all-in and Vicky
just flat calls. Next up is Surinder who thinks for some time before getting
Vicky to put the rest of her chips in. Bush has Q-Q, Vicky J-J and Surinder A-7
spades. The flop shows an Ace and a 7 and the Turn reveals another Ace to give
Surinder a big chip lead. |
| |
| Heads-up its Marty and Surinder. A few
hands pass with each raising and the other folding. Then Marty calls with K-2
diamonds. The flop of K-Q-3 brings a small bet from him. Surinder raises 500
and Marty pushes his whole stack in. Surinder calls and turns over K-4, leading
but also with 2 spades and a flush draw. The hand most often will tie without
the flush and though the Turn is no help the River card is another spade and
Marty goes into the semi-final and Surinder to the final. |
