Who needs a supercomputer for a brain or 20 years experience to work out the exact bet in relation to a pot?

Dominic Kay has a much more hands on approach. When faced with a raise from John Tabatabai, he simply reached for a big pile of chips, pushed it across the table and announced "I bet that much!"

No messing around, he took down the pot.

Well, not quite, but it could be if your blogging team wasn't brimming with ethicalness.

It's obvious that this room in the Empire Casino is more used to parties, possibly with high rollers and scantily clad women, as opposed to WSOP finals, as there's a swanky bar on the one side of the room where we are based.

An alluring array of liqueur sits patiently on the transparent shelves, all devilishly tempting us into a swift session of tea-leaving whilst all eyes are on the featured table.

However, as alluded to at the start of this post, we are men of honour and couldn't possibly lower ourselves to such antics. Also, Pauly singing the Macarena after one shot would be a dead giveaway.

Hand #17 - John Tabatabai

Dominic Kay has the button in Seat 5. Magnus Persson raises to 29,000, John Tabatabai calls, Annette Obrestad calls, Matthew McCullough calls, and Theo Jorgensen calls from the big blind. The flop is {8-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{4-Spades}. Action is checked to Persson, who bets 65,000, Tabatabai calls, Obrestad folds, McCullough folds, and Jorgensen folds. The turn is the {2-Spades}. Persson checks, Tabatabai bets 145,000, and Persson calls. The river is the {A-Spades}. Persson checks, Tabatabai bets 400,000, and Persson calls. Tabatabai shows the {5-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} for a six-high straight, Persson mucks, and Tabatabai takes down the pot worth over 1,250,000.

With the exit of James Keys the crowd has been comparativley quiet. That was until Tabatabai took down the huge pot, then all of a sudden a roar went up like a football crowd.

As long as a UK player is at this table, we can expect that kind of atmosphere. As the booze flows don't be suprised to see "The Wave" and singing along the way.

Hand #18 - Theo Jorgensen

Matthew McCullough has the button in Seat 6. Annette Obrestad raises to 35,000, Dominic Kay calls, Theo Jorgensen raises to 135,000 from the small blind, Obrestad folds, and Kay calls. The flop is {K-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}. Jorgensen bets 110,000 and Kay thinks for so long a clock is called on him. With 30 seconds remaining, he folds, and Jorgensen wins the pot.
