Event 53 - Pistols At Dawn... 1 year ago

No table has finished yet, but we have three tables which are heads-up, three three-handed tables and a final three which are four-handed. Jean Robert Bellande is one of those players heads up and with a decent chip lead and looking to 'survive' to the final table.

The Golden Bullet

Spencer Lawrence was facing a tough decision. He bet out $4,000 on the turn of a Ts Tc 5d 9h board, Swede Mikael Norinder had re-raised to $8,000 before Lorenz Guarin had made it $12,000. Spencer decided to move all-in, making it $16,000. Norinder called, before Guarin capped it with the Swede calling again. 

The river was the Ad and this time Norinder check-called another bet, turning over Td 7h, Guarin showed Js Th before Lawrence triumphantly produced Ah Ac for the rivered house to scoop a $60,000 plus pot.

Lawrence added afterwards, "I should fold, but I can't forgive myself if you two turn over jacks and queens!"

Chu-ed Up

Hansu Chu managed to KO two players in one hand, he was holding Ad As against Will Durkee's Jh Jd and Jesse Martin's Ah 2h. Neither of the short stack managed to improve and Chu made the nut flush on the river of the 8h Qd Kd 5d 3d board.

Event 53 - Well, Looks Like We Got Ourselves A Reader... 1 year ago

Players are starting to drop but we've yet to get heads-up in any of the events so far, most though are short-handed now and there's no table which hasn't actually lost at least three players altogether.

Piece Of A Cake

Jeff 'Jaffcake' Kimber started back today with just $12,000 which wasn't good with the blinds being $1,000/$1,500 with $1,500/$3,000 limits. But he's been steadily working his way up on the table. He eliminated Greg Debora after raising preflop and being called by the blinds.

The flop came 9h 2h 3c and Debora lead out from the big blind, Kimber raised, the small blind passed and Debora made it three bets. Kimber set him in for his couple of thousand and Debora called, showing Ah 6h, Kimber showed 6d 6c. Blanks appeared on the turn and river though, and Debora was out.

Kimber followed up calling a re-raise preflop Stefan Rapp from the blinds along with Matt Graham, who had originally raised. The flop came out Kc 7h 4h, Kimber and Graham checked, Rapp bet $1,500 and Kimber raised. Graham folded and Rapp threw away his jacks in utter disgust, face up. Kimber showed Kh Qh.

Don't Mess With Jack!

Sebastian 'Jack' Bauer raised preflop from the cutoff and Sasha Rosewood then elected to re-raise from the button. Bauer made the call and let into his opponent on the Kd Qh 6h, Rosewood raised all-in with Ks Js and Bauer called with Ac Ad. The turn was the 9d which meant Bauer had to sweat a king, jack or ten. The river was the 8d and Rosewood was busto.
