|

| |
| |
| Trumper normally tries to slow play hands
to trap others and here it was no different. he did however get caught when
checking his Q-5 on a flop of Q-T-5. Ali had T-T and bet small, Trumper took
Ali all in and did not catch the required Q and went very low. |
| |
| SS Trumper
takes the chance to steal the blinds with K-T but gets a caller with K-K.
Citrone's hand stands up and Trumper is gone. |
| |
| Citrone gets himself into trouble as a
board of 4-4-Q-Q-A sees him bluff with J-9. It had been checked all the way and
now Colclough thinks before calling with his A-2. |
| |
| Debi plays few hands but finds a J-J and
doubles through against the A-T of Costa. |
| |
| Ali had tried several clever plays but
hadn't really found his feet in this event. SS he
got all n with an A-5 but Bambos had him beat with A-K. No five meant
Ali went out. |
| |
| Costa had been chip leader for some time
which may have gone to his head when he bet out of turn with a semi-strong hand
that he was probably keen on representing as a very strong hand. Colclough just
called before him and Costa took it on himself to bet even more than he had
intended. Around to Colclough with A-K and he bets all-in. Costa calls now with
A-J. The A-K holds up and Costa butchers a lot of chips for no good
reason. |
| |
| Now Costa finds K-K and Colclough calls
with T-T. Unlucky this time Costa goes out as Colcough hits a T. His
chip position should have seen him through but for the previous error. |
| |
| Debi had dribbled chips away until she was
all-in on the big blind. Bambos and Colclough checked it all the way and Bambos
caught an Ace, Debi had Queen high. |
| |
| Citrone found no way out of losing
his chips when his J-T came up against Colclough's A-J. The flop of 6-3-8 led
both to check but when a J showed on 4th street with 4 spades for Citrone he
could not help himself but to check-raise all-in. No spade on the River and it
was down to 2. |
| |
| There was the usual heads-up nonesense
between Bambos and Colclough (leader) before the later called with a 4-5 to see
a flop of A-2-3. Bambos tried to bluff with his J-T thinking that no pre-flop
raise meant no Ace. He was right in that but only a K-Q runner-runner could
save him. Bambos into the semi-final and Colclough into the Final for once
playing very solidly. |
