Mick Fletcher was down to just 300 (no longer even classed as a short stack) after an unlucky confrontation between his A-K and A-T. A spiked Ten and some late bad luck pretty much guarantees an exit shortly.
Meanwhile...Keir Fitzgibbon takes on a short stack in the big blind (c. 15k) raising to 7,000 preflop, and getting called. The flop comes
, and the now seriously short blind checks, Keir autobets 7,000, putting him in, and now he's made it slightly more painful for himself to call all-in with his
. However, he eventually comes to the conclusion that there's nothing for it, calls, and finds himself ahead of Keir's
. The turn and river are raggy, and a roar of "Something-something BACK IN IT" rather surprisingly comes from the doubler-upper. Name to follow.
Elsewhere Simon Nowab plays it cagey against Eileen Patterson (I think)... he got a call raising preflop, and bet the
flop when it was checked to him - 4,500. They then check down the
turn and river, and Simon finds his
well ahead of her
, although the dealer briefly tried to award the pot to the lady. Simon was having none of it.
