| An early interesting hand revolved around a
flop of Q-2-5. Three players, Ross, Bloom and Shipley. Check-check around to
Shipley who bets 500. Bloom raises 1200 and Ross thinks with 2-5 for two pair.
It really looks like two people with Queens against him and he should raise to
get Shipley's out. Against an Ace-Queen he is 2.7-1 favourite (he wins 73%) and
will be getting around 6-4 in chip value. Anyway he passes and Shipley calls
with K-Q which he must know is in trouble. No help and he is gone. |
| |
| Soon another 3-way hand, this time all-in!
Ross (A-K), Devilfish (Q-Q) and Bloom (A-A) go all in. When the first 3 cards
turnover as fives there are few outs for the chasing hands and none come. Two
people out to the Aces of Bloom. |
| |
| Vicky shows a nice bluff when pre-flop
betting with J-T suited she bets the flop of A-K-5. Bloom passes his K-J
leading hand. |
| |
| Another big hand match with all-ins from
Jones with A-K only to see Ken with Ace-Ace which hold up once more. Three
players left. |
| |
| Ken gets it all in with T-T and Bloom calls
possible thinking it was a steal. He had Q-J suited. A Jack on the flop puts
Ken in trouble but a Ten on the turn makes him the winner. |
| |
| Bloom and Ken get involved in another. The
flop comes 9-7-9 with two diamonds and both check. When a non-suit 6 drops on
the turn Ken bets 600 and Bloom raises 2000 only to see Ken go all-in which he
calls. Bloom turns over 5-3 diamonds for an odd sort of semi-bluff but Ken
shows 10-8 diamonds for the straight made and no possible outs for Bloom.
Bizarre play from him. |
| |
| So heads between the lovely Vicky and Ken
and immediately they each find Aces and go all-in. Vicky has A-8 and Ken A-Q.
The Queen holds and Ken is in the final, Vicky
in the semi-final. |
