Broadway Festival: Day 1 - At A Glance

[NoflopsHomer]

Praz Bansi has 60k and is one of our chip leaders now.

He was holding on a board and got check/raised on the flop, and called putting his opponent on a draw, on the turn, his opponent pushed all-in and Praz called and was shown by his opponent who missed the flush and gutshot draws on the river.

------------

Meanwhile, Bambos has hit the deck, all-in from the small blind with Eights for 8k, shot down by Praz's Aces in the big.

Alan Davies takes out Ian Fraser with vs on a board.

S Javadi  is our current chip leader with around 90k, some of you may remember her from the Walsall Grand Prix Final that Zippy Aslam won, she made, if I remember, the top twenty there.

Nick Slade dwelt ages before calling the river with

Trevor had .

Martyn Cavanagh has also doubled up. Battle of the blinds, A-K vs A-6, all-in pre-flop, A-K-J Flop.

[NoflopsHomer]

Joe Grech is gone. vs Andrew Andriou's

Board:




Shaf folded pockect twos preflop and was not happy.

[NoflopsHomer]

Rob Garfield held on a board, big hand you'd think? Well, yes. Yes it is...

But Simon Zach was holding and after the inevitable cavalcade of bet, raise and all-in on the flop, no more hearts came and Zach emerged unscathed and 40k in chips now. Garfield has a Zach-sized hole in his stack now but still has some chips.

---------------

As we reach the close of Day 1, Steve Jelinek is dealt a harsh blow from the Poker Gods. All-in pre-flop with Queens, Chris Gavriel manages to find trips Sixes with his A-6 on a nasty 6-T-7-6-3 board. Mr Jelinek did NOT look happy.

---------------

A Brum regular is Ram Lakha, is OUT after his Aces were beaten by Nines on a J-2-2-J-9 board, the remainding chips going in on the River.

--------------

Andrew Andreou is finally out after threatening departue for the last hour. Made his swan song with K-Qs, but ran into the Aces of Simon Zach.

[NoflopsHomer]

Mickey Wernick goes last hand into trip 2's of Alan Davies on an board.
