You Can Solve all Problems by Hitting Them with a Hammer

[user75013]

That's a wrap then for tonight, apologies for the awful technical trouble we've had towards the end of the day. The people responsible will be summarily rounded up and shot.
We'll be restarting tomorrow from 2pm and hopefully we'll have fixed all the tubes so that enough of the internets (sic) will be working for us. See you then!

The Double with Deeb-les

[user75013]

Shaun Deeb was the big stack for most of the day but managed to lost a large slice of his stack before the end. However, he fired 7,400 on the turn of a {8-Clubs}

board before moving all in for 31,000 on the {5-Hearts}

river, getting called both times. Deeb flipped {K-Clubs}

and his opponent mucked, propelling the internet pro back up to the 100,000 mark.

Taking the Flack

[user75013]

With 8,100 in the pot on the flop Layne Flack called a 8,500 bet on the flop of a {A-Diamonds}

board.
The turn was the {4-Hearts}

and Flack saw 18,000 more bet into him. He countered this by moving all-in only to find his {A-?}

had run into {A-Clubs}

and was drawing dead for the {7-Clubs}

river. Flack losing most of his stack right at the death.

No Fro For E-Fro

[user75013]

Eric Froehlich is out. First, he lost a big pot when he got into a raising war with Queens against Aces and the 100,000 chip pot went the other way. He had about 9,000 left, and pushed preflop with {A-?}

but lost out to {J-?}

after the board came {A-?}

Looking Trond-y

[user75013]

an

flop is checked to Trond Eidsvig on the button and he bets a casual 1,500.

The big blind checks his cards before folding and the cut-off declares, "If you don't have a monster, I'll eat these cards."

The cut-off flicks his cards into the muck and Trond carefully places them back in front of him, turns over {8-Clubs}

and says, "Go on then."
