With action four ways to a board of with 1,400 in the middle, it was the 800 bet of Andrew Christoforou from the hijack that was called by Noel Broadbent in the small blind. The original raiser folded and Leo Worthington called in middle position.
The turn slowed action, the three players all checking.
On a river of the small blind of Broadbent lead for 1,100, Worthington reacted by raising to 4,400 before Christoforou moved all in for 20,900. Broadbent then moved all in too and Worthington mucked.
It was Christoforou with that took the pot down with a full house, beating the flush of Broadbent.
''Its my first hand, you gotta play the seven-deuce'', said Christoforou as he smiled, offering an ''Unlucky'' to his table mate, Broadbent.
3,500 was the pot, with Paul Henson under-the-gun checking over to Mitchell Hynam, who followed suit on the board. Nigel Quelch checked it from the cutoff to bring them to the turn.
Action was so quick, PokerNews missed the turn card, but it was checked to Quelch once again, who fired 1,500 into the middle and got two quick folds.
After an open from Barry Cole from the cutoff and a call on the button from Neil Woolfrey, the small blind of Paul Danko moved all in for his last 1,600 after he was shocked stacked from the hand below with Simon Baker.
With 2,200 in the pot on the turn with the board reading , Paul Danko had bet 1,100 into Simon Baker, who responded by raising to 3,100.
Dank then made it 8,500 and Baker moved all in for just under starting stack. Danko quickly called and cards were tabled.
Simon Baker:
Paul Danko:
Baker had a full house against the pocket queens of Danko, who needed one of two queens or nines left in the deck to win the pot and knock out Baker. The completed the board however, giving Baker a full double and leaving Danko very short stacked.
