Lee Prices Dobson Out

Level 3 : 75/150, 25 ante
Waikiat Lee
Waikiat Lee

Waikiat Lee was in the big blind and looking at the {8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} flop for a few seconds before betting 3,500 chips. Ben Dobson was his sole opponent sat a couple of seats to his left and he called.

The turn was the {6-Clubs} and Lee bet again, setting the price to play at 10,500 but this was too much for Dobson to pay as was evident by his almost instantaneous fold.

More Big Guns

Level 3 : 75/150, 25 ante

The £5,250 High Roller has two more big names competing for the title, those of Ben Vinson and Sam Trickett.

Vinson is full of confidence having helped himself to a $45,000 score online last night, while Trickett exudes confidence at the table, as would you if you'd won more than $20 million from live poker tournaments.

Trickett is sharing a tables with the likes of Simon Deadman, Sergio Aido and Steven Warburton, while Vinson is battling with Richard Trigg, Craig McCorkell and Tom Hall.

Full House For Dobson

Level 3 : 75/150, 25 ante

Jason Wheeler started the preflop betting round by raising to 450 from early position but he faced some resistance from Ben Dobson in the small blind who reraised to 1,600. Adrian Mateos folded in the big blind and watched on as Wheeler four-bet too 4,075. Dobson called and the dealer fanned the {Q-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} flop.

Dobson checked the flop and Wheeler checked behind. Dobson tapped the table again when the {Q-Spades} landed on the turn and Wheeler bet 3,000. Dobson stuck around and called. The {10-Hearts} river was another high card and another card that Dobson checked. Wheeler sat for close to 45-seconds riffling green 25-denomination chips before checking behind.

Wheeler mucked as Dobson showed {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} for a full house.

Warburton Utilises the Power of Position

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Richard Kellett raised to 550 in the hijack seat and found two callers. The first was Steven Warburton on the button and the second Sam Trickett in the small blind.

A rather innocuous-looking flop of {3-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{9-Spades} didn't seem to interest either Trickett or Kellet who both checked, leaving the door open for a bet from Warburton. He took that chance, making it 1,200 to continue and when both of his opponents folded, Warburton added a few chips to his stack.

Jordon Hoping for a Slam Dunk

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

A few months ago, Terry Jordon won the partypoker Pokerfest Live Main Event for £52,000 and he's parleyed some of those winnings into this £5,250 buy-in event. Jordon plays something of an unorthodox style of poker that is sure to keep his opponents guessing, something that could come in handy in this field.
