Title: Hand from tonight WH grand prix
Post by: Longy on January 31, 2007, 12:03:42 AM
Ok if you don't want to know the final 3 players look away now as they say on the news.

I thought this was interesting though, we are 3 handed.

Blinds 600/1200
Chips (approx): Bo Shelstedt 45000 (Button)
                      Tony G 32500         (SB)
                      John Shipley 2400    (BB)

Bo has  Aspades 3d and raises to 2500.

Tony G then moves all in  9h 8h !

John Shipley calls with  Jh 5h and Bo passes.

What do you make of this play by Tony G i think it was madness personally,he said that he though John had to pass but John claims he had to call with any 2 which i agree with. Bo's pass looks standard to me.

Structure is winner advancs to final, runner up gets a 2nd chance and 3rd gets nothing.

ofcourse John has to call here. There's no doubt.
I quite like to push with sooted connectors shorthanded myself but in this situation it's a very easy fold.

That was strange bet wasnt it, I would have thought with two prizes up for grabs this would have been a call and a check down in an attempt to eliminate John.

In that spot John has to call surely?

yeah it's a flat call and check out (I should really learn to read these things properly before claiming it's a fold) for me.
