Lee (during Opening Event): still alive
Dave Lee and another opponent ended up with all their money in the middle preflop and we got there as the cards were revealed:
Lee:
Opponent:
The board of improved neither hand; the opponent is still alive but more importantly, Lee is up to 45,000 in chips.
Huntly: still in the hunt
Dennis Huntly got the last of his money into the middle on a board that read with and found himself dominating an opponent's .
Needing to dodge the case jack, four or ace, the river was a harmless and Huntly doubled up to around 35,000 in chips.
Damien Lui has just eliminated German Marchese in a huge hand on table 48.
After some heavy action preflop, Lui and Marchese were the only two out of four players involved that ended up with their money in the middle.
Lui:
Marchese:
The board was spread ; amazingly, Lui had managed to score a backdoor flush against Marchese's top set - and it would have been even more beneficial had the other two players who folded preflop been involved.
One claimed to have folded pocket fours while the other had apparently folded pocket sixes! Could you imagine - set over set over set beaten by a backdoor flush?
In any case, it was still very profitable for Lui, who is now on 68,000 in chips. Marchese was left with nought.
