Mark Magee Shoves Turn, Busts

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Mark Magee shoved the turn of a board reading {5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{3-Spades}{a-Hearts} and almost immediately wished he hadn’t as Keith Brennan called.

Magee showed {8-Hearts}{8-Spades} and despite the ace turn card the {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} of Brennan was good.

Wheeler Steals

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Jason Wheeler, Maria Konnikova, Stephen Hendry

Jason Wheeler was telling his table mates earlier that he has no truck with these poker “maths kids.”

Wheeler opened the action for 2,500 and picked up one caller Patrick Mccloskey in the big blind.

The flop was {q-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{6-Hearts}.

Mccloskey check raised Wheeler’s bet of 2,800 to 7,800 and Wheeler threw in the chip to call.

The turn was the {7-Clubs} and again Mccloskey checked. This time he just called a bet of 11,500 from Wheeler.

The river was the {j-Clubs} and Mccloskey check-folded to a 18,500 bet from Wheeler who wasn’t too impressed with the play and let him know.

“You should never check raise that flop,” Wheeler said, “I’m never folding there, you can’t have shit,”

Wheeler proceeded to forensically dissect what Mccloskey could have been holding and wasn’t corrected.

Pot to Wheeler who didn’t show and some free lessons for the rest of the table.

Geilich Bluffs Farrell, Or Did He?

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Ludovic Geilich - Bluffer?
Ludovic Geilich - Bluffer?

“I just got a bluff through Firaldo,” a thrilled Ludovic Geilich was keen to retell his derring-do in a recent hand.

“No you never,” was Niall Farrell’s opinion on the subject. “If you did it would be the first time.”

According to Geilich he was dealt a {5-Clubs} which was exposed and replaced by the {q-Hearts}{10-Spades} and he opened to 3,000.

Farrell called on the button and the big blind came along.

Three players to a flop of {2-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{3-} and a bet of 3,500 from Geilich saw Farrell call and the big blind fold.

The turn was another {3-} and a 6,000 bet from Geilich saw Farrell call again.

The river was the {j-Diamonds} and Geilich bet 18,500 which got Farrell to lay down {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}.

This led to quite a dispute as Geilich didn’t show but claimed to have bluffed his mate with {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}.

“How can I make you believe me?” Geilich pleaded

“Don’t make up bluffs where I have the card you said you had,” came the laconic reply.
