Andy takes it down!

So it was Andy's first win at the big game this weekend!!!

Dave blasted himself out by walking into Robberts big hands everytime, kings, Aces, Ace King, busting Dave out first... much to his dismay.

Adam was holding a HUGE chip lead for much of the match but managed to lose that through a combination of crazy moves and red wine when he pushed all in with A 2 of clubs and despite hitting 4 clubs on the turn he was unable to beat Juhas AA.

Adam finally finished in 5th....

Robbert was next to go out despite having taken all of Daves chips he took a few beats and eventually went out with pockets 6's against andy's A 10 when he got a full house.

Juha went out in 3rd place when he was all in against andy's K 10 when Andy hit the 10 and juha didn't improve leaving Brian who had been quietly plugging away winning enough pots to keep himself going and surivive into second place.

Andy eventually took it down when he called an all in with A 8 and with noone improving he took down his first win!!

Congrats to everyone and especially to Andy for another action packed game! I think Andy took out most of the table apart from Dave who Robbert knocked out..

the next one will be in two weeks or so I will keep you posted!

The photo will be uploaded tomorrow.

Nice Hand

The Cash game

Last Friday a few of us got together for a bit of a cash game... It turned out to be great fun and actually lasted longer than our usual tournament..

It was nice low stakes with blinds of 5/10 cent but there was plenty of action and it was a fun night, maybe something to do again in the future, it makes for a slightly different evening.

Even poor old Stu bought into the game but decided to go all in when he realised how drunk and tired he was and dumped his chips to Liam.

There is another tournament this weekend, so let me know if you wil be playing guys!

catch you all later

It's always Liam's go......

It was a great match again this weekend (but then I would say that) it was action packed and filled with some big hands, most of which seemed to fall to Roy in the beginning, Pocket Rockets, Jacks, even Kings which ended up being his demise against Robberts Queens when robbert hit a set on the Turn, roy even threw a set of jacks away in a hand were Adam and Andy were going all in for the pot and scared Roy out of the way with 3 jacks...

Thankfully there was NO super turbo tournament before everyone arrived but even with Liam not present for the first few hands and being blinded out there was still all ins within the first 5 hands of the tournament... Love it!

The match was pretty even for quite some time with no one being kocked out for well past the add-in period and the pots were almost always big... But then a flurry of action gave Robbert a huge chip lead when he Cripple Roy and knocked out Liam in one hand holding his Queens, Liam had his 6's and Roy was holding pocket Kings, Everything seemed good for the kings on the flop but a queen on the turn knocked out Liam and severly crippled Roy who eventually went out to Adam.

Robbert was left with a huge stack and we had lost our first player.

After another crazy hand were Robbert held KK against Andy's JJ, Andy was out and the loss of roy a little earlier to Adam meant we were down to 4, Brian, Adam, Dave and Robbert.

Brian went out first trying to bluff Robbert off a pair of kings with his A 9, but it failed and he didnt catch an Ace to help him out.

3's up, Adam who was the short stack doubled up through Dave leaving him crippled with around 4500 chips when he caught his jack, only to later lose them all back to him along with the rest when his Q J couldnt catch against Daves AK thus it was down to Dave and Robbert to battle heads up for the final 2 spots.

Robbert had around twice as many chips as Dave but he managed to double up with A 10 clubs against Robberts KJ when he hit the flush on the turn, Dave now had the chip lead. A few folds later and Dave calls Robbert's all in with A 6 off suit and Robbert turns over K J again but with noone hitting anything Dave took down the match.
