We arrived at Ken Demlakian’s table just in time to catch his exit hand. There had evidently been a great deal of preflop action as the pot looked to be in the region of 20,000 or so with a flop of showing with Demlakian and a tablemate the only two players involved.
First to act Demlakian announced he was all-in for around 10,000 with his opponent calling immediately, which is usually never a good sign.
It definitely wasn’t in this case and Demlakian’s was trailing to his opponent’s . The turn left Demlakian drawing dead and just to rub some salt into the wound the river gave his opponent the nut flush.
“Good hand,” said Demlakian tapping the table before heading for the rail while his opponent pulled in the 40,000 plus pot.

The turn brought the and both players quickly checked.
After the completed the board Huntly checked and his opponent followed suit.
The button then tabled his for trip deuces, much to the disappointment of Huntly.
"F****** serious?" muttered Huntly, holding his cards up and staring at them, before sliding them into the muck.
We caught the action on a flop of in a heads-up pot between Mike Watson and a player sitting on the button. With around 1,100 in the pot already Watson opened for 900 and the button made the call.
The turn brought a check from Watson and a bet of 1,600 from the button. The Canadian pro thought it over for a while before reaching for chips and check-raised to 5,625.
It was the button’s turn to tank though he did eventually make the call and the dealer rolled over the river.

It appeared to be a blind on blind battle as Carrel, sitting in the small blind, had a bet of 3,600 out in front of him. His opponent in the big blind had an initial bet of 1,100 out on the felt but had put Carrel to the test and moved all-in.
Carrel looked torn and deliberated for several minutes but did eventually make the call, flipping over , which were leading his opponent’s .
The Brit earned the double up when the board ran out climbing to 36,850 while his unfortunate opponent dropped down to around 15,000.
It appears Tom Grigg has had a rocky start here so far but he’s fighting back after taking down a three-handed pot.
After an open to 600, Ken Demlakian called next-to-act and Grigg defended his big blind before the flop fell a monochrome . Grigg took the betting lead putting 800 into the middle and both opponents called to the turn.
Grigg loaded up again and fired for 3,200 which was enough to take down the pot.
“Nice bet Sir” the initial opener conceded as Grigg added that pot to his 9,000 behind.
