Brit Blocking

MarcC

Andrew "tufat" Teng was involved in a blind battle with the turn out by time we caught up to it giving us a {3-Diamonds}

board. His 300 bet from the SB was bumped up to 1,000 by the BB. Teng called and then led out for just 150 on the {A-Clubs}

river. The bet seemed to confuse the BB who sat there trying to work it out but eventually called. Teng tabled {J-Diamonds}

which was good for the pot as the BB mucked.

Rizen up the Counts

MarcC

Eric "Rizen" Lynch is up to 9,000 after an opponent gifted his stack to him. Lynch raised from UTG and this unnamed opponent called from the cut-off.

The flop came {8-Diamonds}

and when Lynch led out for 8,00 his opponent moved all in for 4,300. Lynch made the call with {10-Hearts}

and was ahead of his opponent's {A-Hearts}

. The turn came {Q-Clubs}

and river

to give the pot to Lynch.

Four High Wins Pot!

MarcC

British poker player Karl Fenton just stopped me to tell me he just won a pot with four high!

It was folded around to the SB who called before Fenton checked his option. The flop came {3-?}

and Fenton floated one after the SB bet. The turn saw Fenton make a move as he raised the SB's bet from 425 up to 1,150. The call was made though so the river came {10-?}

.

Both players seemed to give up on it though as it was checked through. "You got it," said the SB and threw his cards in to the muck. Fenton then had to turn his cards up to claim the pot and he did so with {4-?}

for four high. The SB said he folded {9-?}

X.

Pretty sick way to learn a lesson.

Thorson No More

MarcC

Swedish poker star William Thorson has been eliminated by Bryan "bparis" Paris. Thorson open raised from the the high-jack and was called in two spots including Paris before the flop fell {A-?}

. It was checked to Thorson, who continued his aggression with a 500 bet only to be raised to 1,600 by Paris after the other player folded. Thorson called to see the {9-?}
