And the winner is...

So another interesting match with very live cards this week......

Reinder managed to hang to his lead despite not finishing in the points, so he is holding up well for the player of the year points at the moment, and it was good to see that everyone coughed up the 2.50 for the POY award pot this week, I will be keeping a tally on the site of what is in the pot on the site when I get it sorted.

Dave was suprised to win after having his first hand of pocket Aces cracekd by andy holding a K and hitting a full house on the river. This set Dave a bit on tilt were he tried to steal the next pot with 7 3 clubs and somehow hit a miracle 3 of a kind 3'.... putting him almsot back to square one after tripling up through Andy and Liam.

The game was quite a fast paced and action filled game with chips being passed around all over the place and some big hands being hit, such as Brians quad aces heads up towards the end. But everone stayed it pretty long this week and Adam was the first to go out after the add in periodd with A 10 losing to a pair of queens.

Liam went out in 5th despite standing about 2nd in chips when his AK didn't hit against Daves QQ, pushing around 10,000 chips his way, this left just Brian, Robbert, Reinder and Dave. Reinder being very shortstacked was just waiting for his moment to push and it didn't pan out as intended leaving just 3. RObbert got knocked out when his K 8 didn't hold up against Dave's AK.

Also of note was Andy's eagle eye and the fact that he was the one who pointed out that Dave had won the match with a backdoor flush with his pocket 5's, against Brian's A Q off suit, otherwise the game could have gone on for a long time.

Thanks again gusy for a great match.

The next match will be on the 9th February 2008 dus to Liams birthday and a 1 week break.

So get your heads on for february when the mayhem continues.
