Early Leaders

[user10666]

Players are on a break and we have lost 7 from our original 177 day 1A starters and have an average stack of 10,500. Liam Flood and Mark Vos are our early leaders both on or around the 25,000 mark. Mark Vos has just been moved to the left of Dave ‘Devilfish’ Ulliott so we can expect some fireworks when the players resume.

Jani Vilmunen loses 12K pot

[user22113]

On a board which read {Q-Diamonds}

he made a pot sized bet of 4,000 and his opponent took two minutes to call.

Vilmunen showed {Q-Spades}

which he believed was good but was up against {Q-Spades}

and found himself out-kicked.

Donnacha O'Dea Busted

[user22113]

On a board which read {7-Hearts}

The Don check-raised his opponent who then put the Irish man all in. O'Dea immediately called.

{Q-Clubs}

for O'Dea

and a straight flush draw for his opponent.

{J-Hearts}

on the river sent O'Dea packing.

Level: 3

Blinds: 75/150

Ante: 0

Slowplay, No Pay

[user22113]

Mark Vos just lost a substantial chunk of his chips but still appears to have close to his starting stack.

Three-way action. The flop was {Q-Clubs}

and everyone checked. Then a lot chips flew into the middle when a {9-Diamonds}

came on the turn.

{Q-Hearts}

for Vos

for Scott Fischman.

Apparently the third player in the hand also folded a weaker queen.

This is turning out to be an interesting table with The DevilFish and Mats Iremark now sitting on Vos' right.

Devilfish Accumulating

[user10666]

Devilfish raises 1,000 preflop and gets called in one spot, flop comes

{9-Clubs}

Devilfish bets 1,200 and gets called. turn comes,

{3-Spades}

Check, Check

River Comes

{9-Hearts}

Devilfish checks, and his opponent bets out 2,000.

The 'Fish calls and shows {A-Diamonds}

to his opponent's {10-Diamonds}

Ulliott tells the table in general, "You don't want to be bluffing the 'Fish now, boys." The 'Fish is up to over 20,000 chips now.

With 150 players still in....

[user22113]

....it's turning out to be an awful day for the Irish as both Roy Brindley and Eoghan Lyons have taken early baths. Brindley exited at the hand of Age Spets.

Lyons decided to make a stand with a Jack high flush draw and walked into an Ace high flush draw. Whoops!
