Sammut Won't Let Anyone Touch His Big Blind

Level 4 : 200/300, 300 ante
Clint Sammut (during last year's MPF)

Clint Sammut was seen stacking up a bunch of chips after eliminating Julian Micallef and was kind enough to relay what had happened.

"First of all, nobody will touch my big blind!" Sammut explained.

Everyone folded and Micallef limped in from the cutoff. Alan Trueick raised to 1,300 from the small blind and I called, so did Micallef.

The flop came {6-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}, Trueick check-folded to my bet which Micallef called.

The turn was the {k-Hearts}, I bet 5,000, he shoved, I called with {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds} for the turned two pair. Micallef held {q-}{6-} for the flopped lower two pair.

The river completed the board with the {4-Spades} for Sammut to hold and eliminate Micallef.

"Please add that he was lucky," Luca Beretta commented and the whole table chattered away for a while after the hand.

Tregoning and Theuma Clash Again

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

Corel Theuma raised to 800 from the middle position and Andrew Tregoning three-bet to 2,200 from the hijack. Action folded back to Theuma who called after confirming the raise.

They both quickly checked through the {4-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{10-Spades} flop to the {2-Diamonds} on the turn. The 5,000 bet was called for the {8-Hearts} to complete the board. Theuma checked for the last time. Tregoning bet 5,100 and Theuma looked at his cards once more.

"I missed..." Theuma said before folding.

"I didn't," Tregoning commented while raking in the pot.
