Richard Hoadley Out Amidst Controversial Ruling

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Richard Hoadley raised and it was folded around to the small blind who announced ”Raise”, but then put out less than the minimum amount. Somehow in the confusion the player in the small blind managed to expose one of his cards to Hoadley. Could he still raise? Was his hand dead?

“Floor!” Called the dealer.

Once the floor was called it was established that the player in the small blind would indeed be forced to put out a min-raise. Asked what card was seen by Hoadley he said it was the {7-Diamonds}

The floor confirmed that it was indeed the {7-Diamonds} and the rest of the hand would continue with that card exposed. This set up an interesting dynamic, as Hoadley now knew precisely half of his opponent’s hand, but was unsure why he had been shown it.

Action was then on Rory Campbell in the big blind. “All in.” He announced, further adding to the drama.

Back to Hoadley who called with all his chips at risk.

The exposed {7-Diamonds} was now irrelevant as the small blind quickly folded.

Campbell showed the {A-Hearts} {K-Spades} while Hoadley tabled {10-Spades} {10-Diamonds}

The board ran out {4-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {4-Clubs} {k-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} to bust Hoadley.

The floor hadn’t finished yet. “One round penalty for exposing a card.”

Amid general disbelief Trickett, who wasn’t actually involved in the hand decided to speak up. Disagreeing with the ruling in what he saw as an accidental exposure of a card he called the decision, “The worst ruling ever. You’re a jobsworth.”

The player penalised declined to give his name to PokerNews but took his penalty and vowed he’d be back “To win this tournament.”

Xie Finds Aces Against Bas

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Renee Xie has just doubled up through Damien Bas after finding pocket aces in a cooler of a hand. Xie is a regular at the Dusk Till Dawn club in Nottingham and her double up will surely please the regulars from there.

Xie got her stack into the middle holding {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs} and found herself up against the {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} of Bas. The latter paired his king on the {K-Clubs}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds} flop but couldn't improve further as the {7-Clubs} and {J-Spades} completed the board.

Spinks' River Bet Earns Him a Decent Pot

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

The United Kingdom's Jon Spinks has just helped himself to a decent sized pot after betting the river of a four-flushed board.

The five community cards read {8-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{A-Diamonds} and Spink bet 27,000 into the 42,000 pot from his seat in the big blind. The button tanked for 90 seconds or so before mucking his hand and leaving Spinks to add to his stack.

Vinson Gets Lucky

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

A double up for Ben Vinson and a lucky one at that. He'd pushed for 46,900 over the top of a 5,200 raise and got a fairly quick call from his opponent's {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}. Vinson showed {A-Hearts}{J-Spades} and managed to spike on a board of {Q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} to double up to about 100,000.

Becker Gets Served

Boris Becker
Boris Becker

Former tennis star Boris Becker is no longer with us in the tournament. The German was eliminated after losing with {K-}{Q-} to another player's {A-}{A-}.
