The quick and the dead....

So saturdays game was VERY quick indeed... for some reason we were finished at 100:30 and everyone could catch their trains and make their way home without too much fuss.

The game began with a bit of a rammin jammin feel with Adam all in with A 7 early on to double up through Dave and Dave having to rebuy very quickly. Liam was a late show but only missed 6 hands or so before he arrived and then he began to play nice and aggresively too.

Things were quite aggressive till the 3rd round with very little rebuys, then in the 3rd round with 10 mins still to go in the rebuy period we had 3 rebuys, Liam, rebought and added in straight away after Adam called him down with Q 4 and took the rest of his stack and building his own into a nice workable situation taking the Chip lead early on.

Everybody added in making the pot €190 in total.

Then it happened first hand after the break, David Raised preflop, Brian called and Liam reraised, after asking how much Liam had behind, he just called and Brian called after him.

The flop came :

Ks Qc 8s

David pushed all in directly on the flop, Brian called and Liam called.

When the cards flipped over David tabled 8 8 for 3 8's, Brian had middle pair with QJ and Liam showed AK spades for top pair and nut flush draw!

The board bricked out and the 3 8's held up and David tripled up and built his stack up by quite a bit and took the chip lead from Adam. Shortly after this Robbert called Dave down with pocket 3's after thinking that Dave had missed his straight draw. His luck was a bit down after picking up Aces twice but never really winning any big pots with them..

Not long after that Andy who was also sitting on a nice stack after winning lots of smaller pots got into an important pot. Andy called het blind and Roy moved all in behind him. Andy after thnking for a while said that he called despite adding it didn't feel right..... how those feelings can be so correct.

Roy turned over pocket 3's and Andy turned over pocket 4's the board came down 6 5 2 rainbow giving both players a straight draw... whoever hit their set would make the straight for the other one...

The turn paired the board and then on the river came the 4... making a set for Andy but the straight for Roy, taking half of Andy's stack.

Adam then knocked out Andy a few hands later after they both got it all in the middle, that left just 3 over, Roy, Adam and Dave.

Within a few hands Adam raised preflop to 1000 and Dave reraised him 1500 Adam then moved all in and dave called, showing J J to Adams, A Q off suit. The board bricked out again and the JJ held up knocking out Adam and leaving Dave with 90% of the chips in play against Roy.

Again after Dave called the big blind, and Roy check the board came down, K 9 8 with two hearts. Roy bet and Dave called, the Ah fell on the turn and Roy moved all in and Tabled 10 8 offsuit and he had walked into Daves nut flush with the Q 5 of hearts and was drawing dead.

And so ends another tourney, it looks like next week it could be held in Hilversum so that sounds like it could be a great game! see you all soon!!
