Action folded to Miguel Coussement on the button and he moved all in for fewer than ten big blinds and Gary McGinty looked him up from the small blind.
Off to the races as Coussement had and McGinty .
The board ran out
Ducks no good for Coussement and the Belgian’s goose was cooked.
We saw Chris Moneymaker, iPad in hand, heading to the exit and we headed over to his table. Sean Prendiville, who at last count had just over 250,000 was raking in the chips and he recounted the hand.
Moneymaker had opened and Prendiville defended his big blind. The flop came and Prendiville check-raised Moneymaker's continuation bet. Moneymaker then three-bet and Prendiville four-bet jammed. Moneymaker called.
Chris Moneymaker:
Sean Prendiville:
Prendiville held top pair but an inferior flush draw to the 2003 Main Event champion. The turn was another queen, the and the river the , but it was too little too late as Moneymaker was eliminated, with Prendiville's stack being boosted to around 500,000.
The flop was and a check from Shengjie Tao saw a bet of 13,500 from Charlo Azzopardi and a call from Mark Buckley. Tao studied the board before he too called.
They all checked the turn and on the river Tao led out for 25,000.
Azzopardi called and a puzzled looking Buckley asked the dealer to spread the pot before he called as well.
They both mucked though when Tao showed his turned set.
With Deborah Worley-Roberts in the nine seat and Jake Quinsee in the one seat the floor was called to make a ruling as Worley-Roberts had exposed her hand.
Quinsee still had 15,000 behind and the ruling was that Worley-Roberts’ hand was live but play would continue with her hand exposed.
The flop was
Action was on Worley-Roberts and she duly bet 15,000 with her draw.
“At least I got to see if I liked the flop,” Quinsee said and called showing his . “I’ll take the five of diamonds.”
The turn was the but the river brought the flush to bust Quinsee.
“You have a one round penalty,” said the floor which the table judged to be a bit harsh but Worley-Roberts accepted it with good grace saying, “Don’t you dare put that in the blog.”
With just shy of 400,000 in chips now Worley-Roberts continues to crush and no doubt the table will be trying to gather some chips before her return.
