This Aint Gonna Be Easy

With such a big field the pros will be rubbing their hands in anticipation of some soft spots. Not so, for the poor souls who have landed on Table 24.

Seat 1Tom Middleton
Seat 2Kenny Hallaert
Seat 6Kevin MacPhee
Seat 9Eric Baldwin

It is MacPhee who has the majority of the chips in the early stages and here he is in action: -

MacPhee made it 75 to play from early position before Eric Baldwin three-bet to 200 in late position. MacPhee made the call and the pair shared a flop of {J-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} which was checked through. The turn card was the {K-Clubs} and MacPhee fired out a bet of 225 which Baldwin raised to 550. Back to MacPhee and he took his time before increasing the pressure on Baldwin with a raise to 1,750. Baldwin took the hint and folded his hand and the dealer brushed the chips towards MacPhee.
