Downdall's Four is Good

Kai Cocklin

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Muhamed Mia made it 2,500 to go from the hijack and Longmao Fan called in the cutoff. Ionut Arvatu called from the button and Max Downdall completed from the big blind.

The four went to a flop of 10♦2♥8♥, which checked around to the 4♠ turn. It checked to Arvatu, who fired 3,200, and only Downdall called.

When the 7♣ completed the runout, both players checked to showdown and with Downdall to show first, he didn't seem too confident. Downdall thought it was his opponent's turn to show, but he hesitantly flipped over A♦4♥ for a pair of fours. Arvatu couldn't beat that and said 'you win' to his tablemate.

Kamber's Ladies Come Out on Top in Three-Way All-In

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Kai Cocklin

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

A three-way all-in play just played out at Table #65, which left Mor Kamber with a chunk of chips.

Kamber had 2,500 inf front of her from middle position and Mazin Karkotli had shipped around 23,000 from the cutoff. Steven Lewzey cold-called from the button, then Kamber shoved for around 75,000. Lewzey had over 30,000 behind and after a long time in the tank, he decided to put them at risk.

Mazin Karkotli: 6♣6♠ All in
Steven Lewzey: 10♣10♦ All in
Mor Kamber: Q♥Q♣

Kamber had both of her opponents crushed and stayed in the lead after the 8♣3♦9♣ flop. It was all over by the time the turn was dealt, as the Q♠ gave Kamber an unbeatable set. A meaningless K♣ dropped on the river, and Kamber raked in the huge pot.

Some of the table were discussing among themselves that Lewzey should have folded, and he didn't seem too thrilled about it.

"Thanks for the rubdown, guys," said Lewzey.

"Next time play better, and you will win," replied one of the table.

"Oh, thanks," were Lewzey's parting words as he and Karkotli were eliminated.

Flashback: Vincent Meli Wins 2023 UKIPT Nottingham Main Event

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Last year in the PokerStars UKIPT Nottingham Main Event at Dusk Till Dawn, Vincent Meli of France emerged as the champion following a heads-up deal against Patrice Brandt.

A total of 1,227 entries were made across five starting flights, which generated a prize pool of £1,177,920. Of those, 185 players made it through to Day 2 to lock up the £1,650 min-cash. Ten players returned on Day 3 to compete for the title.

As soon as the tournament reached the final two players, a deal was made. Brandt came into the heads-up as chip leader and so took slightly more from the chop. The pair decided to leave £2,000 behind to play for, as well as the coveted PokerStars trophy.
