Richard Munro called an open in position and they saw a heads up flop of . Munro then faced a bet of 5,000 and asked his opponent how much he had behind, which was just under 40,000.
Munro made the call and the turn card was the , Checked to Munro, he now bet 11,000 but his opponent was undeterred and made the call. The river was the and both players checked.
“Two pair.” Munro said and flipped up . No good though as he was beaten by .
We didn't see his elimination but the grinder from Ireland must have been sent to the rail just before the end of the previous level as he is listed in 299th place. In the meanwhile, we have lost another 50 players in only half an hour and currently stand at 247 left!
Over on table 423, we saw a raise to 6,000 and the small blind moved all in for 42,100. After some consideration, the initial raiser tanked and the small blind told him "Save your money buddy. I will show you." Another thirty seconds passed and the raiser folded with a simple "okay" and was shown . "I had a pocket pair. Not as big as yours." Good fold then.
There was a limp for 2,000 on the button and the gentleman in the small blind sitting in the one seat declared he was all in. Unfortunately the dealer had scooped his cards and his hand was dead.
The floor was called to explain to the player that he was responsible for protecting has cards and that he must forfeit 2,000 to match the call. The player wasn’t happy about it but he accepted the ruling.
On the next hand he was in the big blind and as he received his cards he placed a chip on them to protect them. He was all in on the flop this time and his two pair faded the fluch draw of this opponent to double up, so a happy ending for now.
Meanwhile at the same table looking on was Barny Boatman, who has added a decent amount toi his stack and is up to 70,000,
Herbert Bennett has been using the MyStack app regularly to update his chip count and we just walked by after he won another massive pot. He should be up to 201,000 now and is most likely the current chip leader after Richard Munro lost a smaller pot not long ago.
Dennis Phillips had a miserable few last levels yesterday losing three flips close together to devastate his stack which was hard to take at the end of 11 hours of poker. Phillips seems much happier this afternoon though as he has managed to quadruple up and is now on 62,000 which is, as he told us, above the average stack of 57,717. “Now I’ve got to hang on to it.” he quipped.
Not having such a great start is Sammy Farha who has slid to 30,000, while Simon Trumper is stable on 48000.
