Harford Triples up as Fletcher Misses his Cowboy

In the closing minutes of Day One, a huge pot gave Ronan Harford a 68k+ stack while eliminating Kevin Skitmore and seriously denting the stack of Mick Fletcher.

All the action occurred preflop: It passed to Skitmore who, with a short stack and {J-Hearts}

, moved all in. Neighbour Fletcher called with his {K-Diamonds}

. He wasn't happy for long, though, as small blind Harford then moved in too, for just over 22,000.

Fletcher was tortured: "This is so f***ing sick! FFS. I don't think I can pass for what it is. Sick. I need to spike a cowboy. F***ing brutal." Having got it out of his system, he made the call and saw what he knew already: Harford's {A-Diamonds}

which spiked a set on the flop to rub it in.
