Tom Middleton lost the chip lead he had over his table in one hand, up against Terry Jordon on a table also featuring Sam Grafton.
"Terry had pocket aces and hit top set. That's fortunate!" Middleton told us as he volunteered reasons why he lost over 100,000 chips to the ebullient Jordon. "What are the chances of both of those things happening?"
The answer came from Grafton at the other end of the table.
"He did say 'I have the nuts' on the turn. That was the clue for me." Grafton teased to laughter from the table.
"And then he bet 30,000 on the river and said 'I can beat anything you have.'" Grafton continued, "Apart from that, though, he looked weak."
Middleton grins and blushes at the same time.
"I have trust issues." he jokes.
Jordon smiles too, needing to say nothing to be on the right side of the gag. He has 205,000 chips, almost three times Middleton's (or Grafton's) stack.
