We're on a Break

With 15 minutes to go of Level 2, half the field has been sent on a break. When the clock runs out, the other half of the field will be sent on a break and the first half will play out the remaining 15 minutes of the level, at which point the whole field will be seated and Level 3 will commence.

"Kiwi G" giving lessons

Former Crown Poker Room Supervisor Theo Ilko, is finding out the hard way that Tournament Poker is not as easy as it looks.

On a flop of {9-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{8-Spades} he bets $500 and is called by seasoned pro Graeme "Kiwi G" Putt.

The Turn card brings the {5-Clubs} and Theo instantly bets $1000.

Kiwi G goes into the tank, takes a sip of his tea, and nonchalantly announces "all in".

Theo considers it, and folds - lesson learnt.

Sam The Champ in full flight

Sam "the Champ" Khouiss, winner of the 2005 $1150 NLHE with rebuys, is in fine form - talking up a storm on table 16!

On a flop of {K-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}, he check-raises to $1000 after the button bets $500. The button goes into the tank and Sam immediately starts in on his customary verbal barrage.

"Do you have Ace King Brett?"
"If you go all in I have to fold. Just make it $500 more"

To which Brett replies: "Do you have King Queen Sam"

Sam then dares him to call, even betting him $5 he will fold.

After some deliberation, Brett folds claiming his kicker must be no good.

Sam shows him {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}

Sam will need all the chips he can get, as his bag of tricks may not be enough for this table. In Seat 1 sits EPT London Open runner up Emad Tahtouh, in Seat 3 is PokerNetwork.com Young Gun Russell Stevenson. High Stakes cash game player "King Richard" Ashby is in Seat 6, and online pro Jethro Horowitz is in Seat 10.
