No Limit Hold Em

Day 4 Completed

Hand 4

Luske raised to 6,000 with {A-Spades}{8-Clubs} and Hellmuth called with position holding {6-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}.

Flop: {K-Hearts}{3-Spades}{J-Clubs} and both checked.
Turn: {9-Diamonds} and both checked.
River: {Q-Clubs}

Luske bet 10,000 and took the pot.

Hand 2

Helppi raised to 6,000 with {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and won the blinds.

"I'm meant to come over the top. I know it too." said Hellmuth as he folded {A-Spades}{4-Hearts}.

Playoff Scenarios

With 28 points, Tony G is now guaranteed at least a playoff berth, and only the most bizarre sequence of events will deny him a top four spot.

Black has 23 points and is almost guaranteed to be in at least a playoff spot at the end of the week. He can seal the deal with two more points tomorrow, and he will clinch it if either Luske or Frazer fails to take first place in their heats.

Nobody has been eliminated yet, so there's still everything to play for tomorrow but without a big result, relegation looks imminent for Helppi and Hellmuth.

Hand 94: And it's Over! A Third Win for Tony G!

Tony G
Tony G
{J-Spades}{Q-Spades} for Black and his last 10,000 chips. {A-Diamonds}{4-Spades} for Tony G.

Board: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}

Ace high is good and Tony G storms into a huge lead at the top of league standing.

Although Black will be disappointed with not winning the heat, he should feel better when he sees how he has consolidated his league position and is now well on his the way to making the grand final.

Hand 93: Black Crippled

Tony G completed with {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} but Black raised to 45,000 with {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}. Tony G immediately reraised all in and Black called.

Tony G has 10,000 less than Black.

Flop: {8-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{J-Hearts}
Turn: {2-Spades}
River: {3-Clubs}

Tony G now has 590,000 of the 600,000 chips in play.

Hand 92

Black calls with {3-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and Tony G checks with {9-Spades}{2-Clubs}.

Flop is {7-Spades}{5-Spades}{2-Diamonds}. Check, check.
Turn is the {3-Diamonds} and Black calls a 20,000 bet from Tony G.
River is the {J-Diamonds} and both players check.

Black wins.
