Chop-Chop

Earlier today it seemed like the tournament was going to be Cracked Aces Forever. Now it seems it 's become Chop-Chop and not just chopped pots but in the last two levels I have seen the following hands turned up pre-flop.

{A-Diamonds}{A-Spades} verssus{A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}
{K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} versus{K-Spades}{K-Clubs}
{A-Clubs}{K-Spades} versus{A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}
and
{3-Clubs}{3-Hearts} versus{3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}
and yes they all resulted in chopped pots.

The best, however, was a SB forced all-in with {2-Clubs}{3-Hearts} versus {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}
but a board of {7-Spades}{8-Hearts}{9-Spades}{10-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} saved the choppy day.

Side Action and Electronic Action

Many of the poker events we have witnessed lately have been all about the tournaments and the side action has been a big disappointment. Not so here at the Crown. Every, and I mean every, tournament table that was been broken has immediately been filled with cash games or satellites. The electronic PokerPro tables have been busy all day and now have a wait list for seats.

Poker is in full bloom here in the summer sunshine of Melbourne.

Rolling Color-Up

With the 25 chips no longer needed [400/800 100 ante] the green 25s are being colored-up during play by the floor staff. Very efficient, lots of player cooperation, table by table. A well done rolling color-up that has not disrupted play nor caused any player distraction. Interesting to see when the players are used to the practice.

Tony G

Playing form a short stack Tony G moves all-in post flop and takes down the pot. The following hand its all-in pre-flop and two hands later the all-in again.
Tony G is still short but no longer super short. He has 3000.

Tony G is Gone

Gotta be careful when you mention how well a player is playing from the short stack. Tony got in all-in again with{8-Spades}{8-Hearts} and got a big stack call from the {K-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}. It was the {K-Diamonds} on the flop that ended the day for Tony even though he had a flush draw on the river.

10 minutes each

Table 28 - Eric Assadourian raises in early position. The cutoff moves all in for 6k, and the button comes over the top for 10k in total.

Eric stands up and begins a verbal exchange with the other players. The other two players stand up as well, and there is open discussion about deal making at the table.

A Tournament Supervisor is nearby and issues a stern warning to the players.

Eric calls and rolls over pocket 10's. The cutoff shows pocket 2's and the button has AQ. An ace flops and the cutoff is eliminated.

At the end of the hand both remaining players are given a 10 minute penalty.
