In The Other Games...

[user76023]

Laak/Sudworth still looks to be pretty even at this moment, but it looks like they're having way too much fun to be concerned about the HU dynamics and metagame right now.

Neil Channing is winning against [Removed:335] right now, but just folded a raise to the qualifier's shove.

Devilfish Holds The Upper Hand

[user76023]

It seems as though that double up has spurred Devilfish on. He's now taken over the chip lead with about 12,000 to Tabatabai's 8,000.

Tabatabai just folded on the turn of a {K-Spades}

board to a 2,000 bet as he tries to fight a resurgent Devilfish.

Laak And Sudworth Make A Sidebet...

[user76023]

While the HU continues, James Sudworth and Phil Laak have started to bet on the colour of the flops. Laak has red all the way and it's £20 for each flop.

Devilfish Doubles Up

[user76023]

Dave Ulliot got his remaining chips in the middle holding {A-Spades}

but found himself in trouble against Tabatabai's {9-Hearts}

But the board came {4-Clubs}

and Ulliot wheeled his way out of hot water for now but he's still more than 2:1 down in chips.

Devilfish Is A Non-Believer

[user76023]

With around 3,100 in the pot. John Tabatabai set Devilfish all-in on the river of a {7-Clubs}

board.

Looking into the camera and we could see Devilfish holding a marginal {K-Hearts}

but Tabatabai was holding the second nuts, {8-Spades}

for a straight.

Ulliot only had about 3,000 left but didn't seem to want to fold, but finally did so while flashing the {7-Diamonds}

.

Tabatabai leads with about 17,000 to Devilfish's 3,000.

Quote-A-Channing

[user76023]

"I've had all the best hands and he's had 8-2 24 times...and he's still level. As soon as he gets some good hands, I'm clearly going to be in trouble."
