DTD Mini Festival: Final Day - Interactive

Oh dear. Poor old Marc Goodwin.

It folds to him on the small blind. "I'm all in blind," he says to big blind Chris Bruce. "That's how everyone else is playing. Turn 'em over, decide if you want to call." Bruce doesn't turn them over, but he folds. Marc's cards are mucked without him looking at them.

This is what he looks like:

The next hand, he moves in from the button, and Richard Berridge calls from the big blind.

Everyone applauds, except for Marc who seems to be performing more of a slow clap.

A rather disgruntled Marc Goodwin is OUT in 5th place winning £4,147.

Actually I think I prefer this photo. Witness: Mr Security howling with laughter, the guy behind Ms Railer clearly feeling her up, Chris Bruce doing what comes naturally:

Whilst we await our next significant pot, may I present to you a showcase of my photographic skills (or lack of)...









"Epic!" as Nightfly says.

And here's what they're playing for...

I was going to nab one of those plaques, but then changed my mind for some reason.

I could still take him though. One judo chop and he's down.

absolutely sick,  oddly feel sorry for Marc Goodwin. Who is that mug with the AJ? did he misread his hand lol? Didnt think you could misclick live.

He said, "I'm tired, I call."

Awesome bluffage by Mr Chris Bruce. With a raise and a call preflop, Berridge checked the flop. Bruce bet 20k, and Berridge called.

Berridge also checked the turn, and then laid it down when Bruce announced all in for another 75k. Berridge folded, showing the . Bruce showed .

Mr Bruce raises utg to 22k. Mr Greekfish, on the big blind, goes all in. Their stacks are roughly even. There follows a lengthy and at times bizarre conversation between the two, in a weird attempt to determine what the other is holding. Eventually Bruce folds face up. With much cackling all-round hysteria, Greekfish shows .

Just as I was thinking it only takes a couple of big hands, the action suddenly exploded unannounced. In a matter of seconds, Chris Bruce raised, Andrew Andreou pushed all in and Chris called.

Andrew drops to 21,000, whilst Chris doubles up to 340,000.

Super-short-stacked Mr Greekfish pushed all in on the small blind and very quickly indeed Mr Chris Bruce called, keen to finish the job.

Board:

Double-up! Greekfish now on around 42k.

--------

Next hand he pushed in from the button. Big blind Berridge considered it but folded, saying he'd had K-9. Greekfish showed K-3. Blinds for Greekfish!

[danafish]

Greekfish decides not to push next hand, and thus allows Chris Bruce to raise to 25k form the button. Small blind Berridge flat called, and they saw a flop. It was , which pleased Bruce greatly. He bet another 25k. Berridge called.

Turn:

Bruce announced all in. "I run so bad," said Berridge, before folding face up. Bruce shows him the for sympathetic vindicatory purposes as he rakes in the chips.

Cooeee, is anyone still awake? Here's a kitten:

Another big hand versus big hand affair occurred just moments ago when Richard Berridge and Chris Bruce found themselves all in with jacks and tens respectively. As the Berridge fans raced down from the cash game to cheer on their man, the dealer dealt out a Berridge-friendly flop. The turn was similarly harmless, and after a "one time" shout from the rail, the dealer dealt out the non-ten on the river. "Yes!" exclaimed Richard as his supporters shared in his delight.

Berridge now on around 250,000 and back in contention.
