The Marathon session!!!

WELL DONE TO THE NEW CHAMPION : ROBBERT BAKKER!

Well last weeks game was a REAL SESSION!!!!! from 8pm till 5:30 it was like being at the World Series final table.... everyone looked like they had been awake for a week and making good decision was becoming difficult for everyone... tiredness and desire to go to sleep could eventually have been a decidiing factor in the game..... it was the MARATHON session so well done to Robbert for holding it together and taking it down.

So Robbert is the defending champion now after Juha didn't manage to defend his title from the week before.

Once it got down to three people the stacks were all about even until one fateful hand came up, Dave raised in the big blind with KQ, Liam folded and Robbert pushed all in behind in the Big Blind.

Dave pondered and decided he couldn't fold now and called, only to find Robbert carrying...... Pocket Rockets... Robbert doubled up and knockced Dave out in 3rd, the bubble boy had been selected and Robbert was now very healthy in chips for heads up against Liam.

Most memorable moments from the night were :

1. Liam vs Stuart : Liam calling out that he will call a big bet on the flop to see the turn "just to see if I hit a jack and make my straight", Turn Jack flops...... Liam checks, Stuart checks.... the river comes and Liam bets out a big bet.... Stuart goes into the tank to think about what he should do, should he believe Liam or not.... Liam of course being Liam was telling the truth, Stuart called and his two pair ran into liams already declared straight Ace through 10.

2. Stuart vs Dave : Dave holding some junk in the big blind catches low pair and it gets checked to the turn.. Dave bets stu calls (had hit top pair), turn gives Dave a set (of 4's) he bets stuart calls.. River, you guessed it a 4..... Dave had hit backdoor runner, runner quads. Dave bet out, stuart raised with his full house.... Dave feigned confusion then pushed all in..... Poor old Stuart decided to call with his full house only to see the damage... he did survive though as he had Dave covered in chips.

3. Heikki vs the clock : After buying in then rebuying, Heikki decided he would rather push all in in order to try and catch a train back to hilversum...... he made the train.

Now on to the next game.....the blinds have been adjusted in order to speed things up but make it possible for people to play still.... maybe this is the happy medium we have all been looking for!!! lets test it this weekend!!

See you at the tables...
