Roland raises to 30k from the button. Tavernier calls instantly from the small blind and Rob Yong folds.

Roland takes the pot with a 45k bet on the Flop.

4-way raised pot, 150k in the pot between Roland, David Tavenier, Rob and William. The board comes , it's checked round to David in the cut-off who bets 95k and the other three fold. David shows a Queen.

Ever heard the gag about the guy who bet that he could make a donkey laugh one minute and then cry the next?

Well, he succeeded and won his bet, and when his mates asked how he did it, he replied that the first encounter he told him he was better endowed and then the second time he proved it. 


Okay, no more willy talk now. Apologies to everyone, back to the poker. 

[Greg A]

Hmm, my choice of words did leave me somewhat open

[NoflopsHomer]

William is bleeding a fair few number of chips. He just folded after George re-raised all-in, I'm guessing he's down to about 500k now.

[snoopy1239]

William regains a few chips after re-raising Rob off a pot pre-flop.

I believe a few people were after a bit more info about Blackpoolian, Nick Slade, so how about this:

Nick Slade, 43, an acquisitions broker from Preston, has only been playing poker for ten months but is already enjoying enormous success, making four final tables in four different countries in the last three months - he came 3rd in the Bellagio Cup II in July for a $41,000 payout.

 A former semi-pro golfer, he had to give up because of family commitments but believes the concentration skills he learned on the fairway are helping in him four-day poker tourneys.

More importantly, he is the only inverted chair sitter on today's final, although I understand Roland is also partial to the odd chair invertion.

[ariston]

think he chopped for 50 at the bellagio together with winning the 1k daily a time or 2 (and an incredible run on the roulette as well)

[snoopy1239]

Rob appears to be getting a little frustrated, especially after his last 56k raise was re-raised all-in by Thorsson, thereby forcing Yongsta to fold. I hope he keeps his cool. The blinds are relatively small and Rob still has a playable stack.

"I think that's the last time I can pass," commented Rob.

What is a semi-pro golfer

[NoflopsHomer]

George takes down a pot, Rolf just told me a stort about George coming to the Amersterdam Masters and having a long in-depth discussion with him, the TD and a few of the other players in a break of the final table, and when Rolf walked passed George a little later and said hello, George didn't have a clue who he was and couldn't remember him at all

[Woodsey]

What is a semi-pro golfer

Probably plays on the challenge tour or whatever its called, the level below european tour.
