Tran Wreck

[user46392]

Appropriately dressed for robbing others' chips

Tran: {4-?}

Soon-to-be-bustee: {K-?}

Board: a rather cruel {Q-?}

Exposing The Bullets Too Soon

[user76023]

With the board reading {3-Spades}

, Sorrel Mizzi showed his hand of {A-Spades}

before his opponent opened his cards. The latter then chose to muck but Mizzi wanted to see what he had been up against.

However, after a ruling, he was told that because he (Mizzi) had turned over first instead of waiting, his opponent now did not have to show and could muck his cards instead with no-one able to request to see them.

Stuck In The Middleton With You

[user76023]

Tom Middleton has dropped to a short stack, in a three-way pot he bet 1,700 on the {10-Spades}

flop. The cutoff behind him called and Ram Vaswani passed.

On the {8-Clubs}

turn, Middleton check-called a bet of 3,500 and then another bet of 5,050 on the {Q-Spades}

river. His opponent flipped {J-Spades}

for the turned straight and Middleton sighed and mucked.

He has about 3,500 left.

Double Up for Demidov While Liz Lieuses

[user46392]

It looked like Ivan Demidov just limped in the hijack initially, but either way there ensued a brief raising war between him and Liz Lieu in the cutoff, which ended with Lieu calling the three/four-bet and them seeing a {J-Hearts}

flop.

While Ivo Donev filmed the whole thing on his camera from across the table for some reason, Demidov bet out 6,250, only for Lieu to announce all in. "I should have folded that preflop," said an uncertain Demidov, "But maybe..." Then he called, and he was ahead.

Lieu: {A-Diamonds}

Demidov:

Turn:

River:

Demidov doubles to 55,000, while Lieu is crippled to 7,300. Yikes.

Organising A Bet - The Sammy George Way

[user76023]

The loud and rambunctious Sammy George has just agreed a last-longer-bet against Alec Torelli which involved loud shouting between the two despite being only a few metres away from each other at seperate tables.

"Pounds or dollars?" said the latter.

"Which country do you think you're in?" was George's riposte.

Doctor Squeezes The Fun Out Of The Proceedings

[user76023]

Jon Heath raised to 800, Neil Channing called from the cutoff and the button called also before Jack 'Doctor_Fun' Powell reraised to 3,650 from the small blind.

Hence followed more folding that at an origami class.

Powell has around 35,000.
