Barber Gives Griffin a Shave

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

Patrick Griffin raised to 1,200 in middle position before Lewis Barber made it 4,000 behind him. Griffin responded with a four-bet to 8,200 but Barber then five-bet to 19,000 with only 22,000 back. Griffin moved all in and Barber sighed, thought for 30 seconds and called.

Griffin: {K-Hearts}{J-Clubs}
Barber: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

The board came {4-Clubs}{8-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{J-Spades} and Barber doubled up to nearly 85,000 while Griffin was left with just 9,000.

Beware the Suited One Gapper

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

Oliver James Fabian opened for 1,500, Matthew Willis called and the blinds folded so we saw a two way flop of {j-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}. Fabian continued the show of strength with a bet of 2,100. Willis called.

The turn was {7-Hearts}. Fabian bet 3,000 and was met with a raise to 13,000. Puzzled, Fabian called.

The river was the {4-Clubs} and both players checked it down. Willis showed {8-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for the straight and a frustrated Fabian showed {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

Breaking News: Rob Yong Dead

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

Rob Yong, owner of Dusk Till Dawn, opened to 1,500 and was called by Brendan McDermott. The blinds folded and we saw a flop of {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{2-Clubs}.

Young continued for 2,500. McDermott was going nowhere and called the bet. The turn was the {9-Clubs} and Yong was handed the all-in button as he dropped his remaining stack, just under 10,000, over the line. McDermott called. Yong showed the {3-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for the flush but McDermott turned over the {q-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for the better flush.

“Arghh I’m dead,” groaned Yong. Indeed he was as the inconsequential {K-Spades} fell on the river.

He will be missed.

Paez Five-Bet Shoves on Salter

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante
Jack Salter
Jack Salter

Raul Paez, who has more than $1.8 million in lifetime tournament earnings, opened for 1,250 from middle position only to have Jack Salter three-bet to 2,850 from the button.

The blinds folded and Paez opted to push back with a three-bet to 6,025. Not to be outdone, Salter four-bet to 11,500.

Paez wasted little in five-bet shoving for around 30,000, and Salter folded just as quickly.

"Show. Show," Salter pleaded to Paez, who did not oblige.

Top Trumps

Simon Trumper
Simon Trumper

In a four-way pot, a board of {2-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{2-Spades} was checked to to Martin Stausholm who bet 3,700. Simon Trumper made the call, as did Peter Higgins while Jarlath Kilgallon folded. Everyone checked the {9-Hearts} turn before Trumper led for 5,100 on the {9-Diamonds} river, Higgins made the call and Stausholm got out of the way.

Trumper showed {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} for a flopped full house and Higgins quickly mucked.

"Everyone doing the work for you," cried 'Mad' Marty Wilson.

Spragg Eliminates Reilly

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante
Tim Reilly
Tim Reilly

Shortly after his girlfriend hit the rail, Timothy Reilly followed her out the door.

It happened when he got his last 5,650 all in preflop holding the {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds} and was racing against the {k-Clubs}{10-Hearts} of Benjamin Spragg. Reilly seemed hopeful, but his hopes were dashed on the {q-Hearts}{10-Spades}{8-Spades} flop. Spragg paired his ten to take a commanding lead and ended up sending Reilly home after both the {8-Clubs} turn and {9-Diamonds} river blanked.

"Drive all this way to play bad," Reilly lamented about his own play throughout the day before stating that we would see him at the EPT Barcelona later this month.
