MarcC

Quick and simple this one. Andy Seth raised from the button, Michael Greco pushed from the BB and Seth called very quickly with {7-Spades}

. Off to the races we go as Greco had {A-Spades}

.

The board ran {3-Spades}

to eliminate the Brit and leave us heads up for the title.

McCaffery was in great shape until the board ran {6-Diamonds}

Disaster for McCaffrey! Recovery for McCaffrey!

[user46392]

A very curious thing has happened here:

Glenn McCaffrey managed to get 870,000 of his chips in preflop with just 150,000 behind. It looked as though he raised his button and Andy Seth reraised from the big blind, and this is the point at which the McCaffrey 870,000 made its way into the middle. Seth quickly called and flipped over {A-Diamonds}

-- he clearly thought that McCaffrey was all in.

Nevertheless McCaffrey was not all in, and a {5-Diamonds}

flop was dealt. Seth promptly bet out 200,000. "Well," said McCaffrey, "I'm behind..." A fold! Extraordinary.

On the next hand, McCaffrey shipped it in under the gun and both Greco and Vilandos called. They checked down the {9-Hearts}

board, but neither of them could beat McCaffrey's {A-Spades}

for a flush. Triple up for the short stack! The rail goes wild and no wonder -- this is all terribly exciting.

The Limp That Grew into a Near Amputation

MarcC

Panayote 'Pete' Vilandos limped in from the SB and Glenn McCaffrey checked his option to see a {4-Hearts}

. Vilandos led out for 100,000 only to see it raised to 275,000. Vilandos was having none of it though as he reraised to 1.01 million.

A long tank from McCaffery followed, but he let it go and showed the {10-Clubs}

. Vilandos made him feel better about it by opening {10-Diamonds}

for two-pair.

Bracelet Ought To Be Awarded For Railing

[user46392]

Glenn McCaffrey's buddies are vying for Loudest Railers In The Room with the pro-Greco camp now. The McCaffrey camp has had more beer, but the Greco camp has secret weapon Jesper Hougaard and his ooba ooba song. Who will win the volume contest? It's anyone's game.

Seth Tries It On

[user46392]

Andy Seth made it 195,000 on the button and Pete Vilandos called from the big blind.

Both players checked the {A-Clubs}

flop and Vilandos check-called 200,000 from Seth on the {J-Clubs}

turn. Vilandos checked again on the {10-Hearts}

river and this time Seth bet 375,000. Vilandos called -- and Seth instantly folded his hand, leaving the pot for Vilandos.

Let's Play Poker

MarcC

A raise from Michael Greco on the button was called by Andy Seth in the SB before the {J-Spades}

flop was checked through.

The turn {8-Clubs}

saw Seth take the lead with a bet that Greco called. The river {8-Diamonds}

saw Seth bet 245,000 before Greco moved all in for 945,000. A very long tank occurred and Greco spent the whole time out of his chair pacing or staring down his opponent. Seth then let it go.

This prompted Jesper Hougaard to start up his "ooba ooba ooba" song. Just the one verse this time though from the Dane to make sure he isn't ejected again!

Level: 28

Blinds: 40,000/80,000
