O'Flaherty - On the Felt

[user1220]

Andrew O'Flaherty just lost a huge pot to Marius.

After an early raise from Fredrik Hostrup or 35,000, Marius moved all-in for around 150,000. A brief pause from Andrew saw the Brit' stand up from his seat and also move all-in!

Fredrik, sensing a couple of big hands, quickly folded.

It was a classic Texas Hold'em "coin flip" situation as the cards were turned over.

Andrew: {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{K-Spades}

Marius:

{7-Hearts}

{7-Spades}

The flop was a nightmate for Andrew. All low cards, which included {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

! O'Flaherty needed running spades for a miracle. The turn of {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

sealed his fate and left him on the felt.

Marius more than doubles up from the pot. Still, we're left with eight players.
