One For The Moose

[user67765]

Bill Jordanou limped under the gun before Raemin "Jake The Moose" Alexander raised from the button to 1,100. The blinds folded and Jordanou made the call.

They went to a flop of {10-Diamonds}

and Jordanou checked to Alexander who fired 1,300 into the middle. Jordanou made the call.

The turn brought the {J-Spades}

and Jordanou moved all in with Alexander snap-calling with the {K-Spades}

for second-nut flush. Jordanou took one look, grimaced and simply mucked his hand!

The river was a meaningless {4-Clubs}

and Alexander finds a very nice double up to 13,000 with Jordanou slipping to 2,500.

Jeffreys Gets Stacked, Goes On Tilt

[user90534]

Andrew Jeffreys and his opponent in the cutoff got all their money in the middle preflop. We caught the action as the cards were tabled:

Opponent: {A-Spades}

Jeffreys:

"Ship the justice, one time!" shouted Jeffreys in trademark fashion. Not this time around: the flop came down {A-Clubs}

to send the opponent further in front with a set of aces.

"You're drawing pretty slim, buddy," said tablemate David Saab. When the {3-Diamonds}

appeared on the turn, Saab bid goodbye to Jeffreys.

As the meaningless {3-Spades}

fell on the river, Jeffreys cracked it: "I'm on tilt now!" he exclaimed as we went on a walk out of the poker room to cool down.

'Adgee' is down to 4,000 and is looking as he's on his way out for the rest of night.

Huxley Busto

[user90534]

Robert Huxley was spotted by the PokerNews crew heading for the rail. We got a chance to have a chat to him as he explained his elimination at the hands of Peter Aristidou.

"It was a disaster," said Huxley. "He raises from early position to 1,100 with pocket tens, I shove for my last 2,800 with pocket fives and he calls. Board bricks out. What can you do?"

Apart from bugger all, we suggest heading to the bar for a cold one.

Saab Doubles Guzzardi In The Dark

[user67765]

The action folded around to Michael Guzzardi in the small blind who moved all in for around 3,000 chips. The only problem was that David Saab was in the big blind and he made the call...in the dark!

Guzzardi turned over the {J-Clubs}

but trailed as Saab slowly peeled back {A-Clubs}

.

Saab held the lead but was crushed on the {J-Hearts}

flop as Guzzardi flopped trips. The turn was the {4-Hearts}

and river the {10-Clubs}

and Guzzardi is up to 6,700 with Saab slipping to 15,000.

Savage Savaged

[user90534]

Ben Savage has lost some chips to Milan Gurung after some heavy action on table 29.

The action folded around to Savage who limped in from the small blind, only to find Gurung raising from the big blind to 1,200. Savage reraised to 3,500 and Gurung made the call.

Both men would check down the flop and turn of {9-Hearts}

; Savage checked on the river {K-Clubs}

but Gurung shoved all in, prompting Savage to fold.

After that hand, Gurung moves up to 25,000 in chips. Savage is in strife, dwindling on 5,500.

Balaban Benefits From Multi-Way Madness

[user92162]

Peter Aristidou's good start to the day has hit a bit of a bump

Darko Balaban has become the beneficary of some multi-way madness.

On a flop of {8-Hearts}

, an early position opponent shoved for his last 2,000. Balaban moved over the top all-in for 5,000. Action passed to Peter Aristidou who went into the tank for a bit before calling covering both players.

Aristidou: {A-Hearts}

Balaban:

Early Position: {J-Clubs}

Aristidou would need his flush draw to hit, but the board bricked out with the {2-Diamonds}

on turn and {2-Spades}
