Christoforou Playing The 7-2 Game, Apart From He Also Makes a Boat

Level 2 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Andrew Christoforou
Andrew Christoforou

With action four ways to a board of {k-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} 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 {4-Diamonds} turn slowed action, the three players all checking.

On a river of {2-Spades} 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 {7-Hearts}{2-Hearts} that took the pot down with a full house, beating the {10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} 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.

Duck and Cover, Cao Is Firing

Level 2 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Duc Cao was just involved in a pot from the small blind versus the middle position Daisel Alnouri.

With the pot at 6,500, Cao fired an overbet of 9,000 into Alnouri on a board of {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}{2-Spades} who went into the tank.

Alnouri looked up, was talking to himself under his breath whilst deciding what his decision would be. Ultimately he folded, giving Cao the pot.

Paul Danko: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Neil Woolfrey: {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}

Baker Doubles Early Into Early Chip Lead

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 0 ante

With 2,200 in the pot on the turn with the board reading {8-Spades}{5-Clubs}{9-Spades}{9-Hearts}, 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: {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}
Paul Danko: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

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 {7-Clubs} completed the board however, giving Baker a full double and leaving Danko very short stacked.
