Sudworth Eliminates Veldhuis In Super Aggro Game

[user76023]

After two hands where first Veldhuis 3-bet Sudworth off a hand, then Sudworth responded with one of his own, making it 3,200 in total on top of Veldhuis' initial 1,000.

Veldhuis made the call and the flop came {10-Spades}

. Sudworth bet 3,600 and Veldhuis raised to 9,700 before Sudworth reraised all-in and Veldhuis called.

Veldhuis: {6-Spades}

Sudworth:

A virtual flip then saw the {7-Hearts}

come on the turn giving Veldhuis a flush draw but the {2-Clubs}

river meant Sudworth dodged every bullet and left the Dutchman with just about 1,600 left.

All-in with {9-Diamonds}

the next hand against Sudworth's {Q-Clubs}

, Veldhuis couldn't hit on the {K-Spades}

board and the young Englishman goes through to the semi-finals.

Certainly, the speed of this game goes to show difference in style of the online players versus the older school live players.

Still Awaiting The Fireworks

[user76023]

We need November 5th to come early here for some fireworks in this match.

Helppi raises to 750 but folds when Coren makes it 2,300.

Next hand and Coren makes it 750, Helppi calls but they check the {Q-Spades}

board to the river where Coren bets 1,000 to take it down.

Actual Flop!

[user76023]

Vicky Coren raised to 750 and Juha Helppi called. A flop!

Helppi checked the {Q-Clubs}

before check-raising her 1,100 bet to 3,200 to take the pot down.

Raise And Take It

[user76023]

It's very much a waiting game in the match between Vicky Coren and Juha Helppi, the last five hands there were no flops seen. The button either raising to win the blinds or folding preflop.

Both players seem very patient.

10-09-2009 19:31 UTC+2

The Coren/Helppi match has recommenced on the feature table.

10-09-2009 19:28 UTC+2

A More Sedate Pace

[user76023]

The Coren/Helppi match has just gone on a break, not much action so far as both players are playing fairly tight.

Schwartz L-exits Stage Right: Lex Veldhuis Eliminates Luke Schwartz

[user76023]

Luke Schwartz raised to 800 and Veldhuis reraised to 2,300. Schwartz thought for a second before folding then said, "I knew that was coming too, I folded an ace..."

"Really?" said a smiling but slightly shocked Veldhuis, "I figured I had to 3-bet some s**t before I get kings again."

A couple of hands later and Schwartz raised to 800, Veldhuis reraised to 2,300 and Schwartz moved all-in. Instant call.

Schwartz: {K-Diamonds}

Veldhuis:

Veldhuis, "It would be pretty sick to lose another coinflip..."

"Just put some paint out there please dealer..." said Schwartz

The board came out {3-Hearts}

and Veldhuis triumphs!
