Forget Shakespeare

Jeff Buffenbarger: 20 today
Jeff Buffenbarger: 20 today
Who needs Shakespeare when you've got the drama of the NPL, the latest clash between Jeff Buffenbarger and Josh Gould creating more action than a Die Hard flick.

Raising it up pre-flop, Josh was faced with an all-in push from Jeff Buffenbarger, which the teenager called in an instant.

Jeff = {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Josh = {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}

The {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop was a harmless one and left Jeff begging for a cheeky Eight and a Six.

But, of course, the Nine was the easier route, and after the {A-Diamonds} had sent Jeff one step closer to rail, he was forced to about turn when the river dealt out a cruel and crowd-gasping {9-Diamonds}.

Father Peter was understandably stoic as he looked on in disappointment, as were some of the fans in the crowd who clearly felt for the youngster. "He won't be getting much sleep tonight," commented one onlooker.

Meanwhile, Josh flops his head in his hands and walks away from the table in a vain attempt to regain his composure. With chips still remaining, he needs to be as cool as a prized marrow, but it's going to be a struggle from here on in with Josh the odds-on favourite to drop in 4th.
