Day 3 Live Updates

Event 24 - Final Table - Patient Play Predominates! 1 year ago

The players have been on a break for much of the last hour so there isn't too much to report in terms of action, although it was rumoured Allen Cunningham had a beef Cipriani sandwich. Saucy!

Here's one of the few hands of note we have seen since the restart.

Rum Card For The Pirate


Treasure Taken!
 

Max Pescatori limped in from the small blind, and Jonathan Depa checked his option in the big blind.

The flop fell 8s Kh Qs. Check, check.

On the turn, Pescatori bet out $20,000. Depa counted out the chips and called.

RIVER: 3s.

Pescatori led for $35,000, only to find Depa making a small, enticing raise to $75,000. You could almost see the pirate wince but he called the excess $40,000 only to muck when Depa showed down Q-3 for a rivered two pair.

Here are the counts as we stand, courtesy of worldseriesofpoker.com.

The race for the bracelet is on, and although the players are just jabbing at each other, sooner or later the rising blinds will mean we see some knockout punches.

Event 24 - Final Table - Slowing Down! 1 year ago

The last level has seen the play moving along at a somewhat sedentary pace.

In the Omaha section in particular the players are wary to get involved and are avoiding big pots like the plague.

Allen Cunningham has perhaps been the busiest player preflop, but his reputation seems to be keeping the other players from getting involved with him.

That is till this hand!

Pirate Pescatori Pounces

Omaha - Kyle Kloeckner popped it up to $25,000 preflop, picking up action from Allen Cunningham in the small blind and Max Pescatori in the big blind.

The flop fell Kc 6h 3c, prompting Cunningham to fire out $50,000. A short think from the pirate, before he announced "Raise Pot!"

Kyle fled like a pigeon from two crazy cats and we were back to Allen. He nochalently folded his cards, flipping up the Ac. "I don't think it's coming" he told the rail, implying he had the nut flush draw.

One up for the pirate.

Pirate Planks Out

Kyle Kloeckner has not been shy to raise preflop and he was at it again in the holdem, popping it up to $30,000. Greg Hurst re-raised all-in to $100,000 and Pescatori now FLAT CALLED from the big blind.

Kloeckner decided to fold so we were heads up, Hurst playing for his tournament life...

Max Pescatori : Ad Kd

Greg Hurst : Jd Js

The board blanked out, Hurst winning the flip to more than double up. Amazingly, Kloeckner claimed to have folded Q-Q!
