Semi-Finals Prove Sometimes Poker Can Be A Team Game

With the points irrelevant to the team outcome, the four remaining players agreed to chop the prize money evenly and avoid a 4am finish to this event.

However due to official regulations and results for players records, the players were required to play it out to determine a winner. "Play it out" being a phrase we use loosely.

Welcome to the world of "flipaments" where we remove the skill factor from poker and let the poker Gods determine the fate of the players!

Each of the semi-finals and final was played with each of the players moving all in blind, without looking at their cards. Funnily enough, it was actually exciting stuff to watch!

We'll post the results momentarily, but here was the semi-final draw:

Steve Leonard vs Rayan Nathan
Andrew Jeffreys vs Michael Guzzardi
