Sheffield Summer Festival - Main Event, Day 2 Live Update

[Karabiner]

Not sure if I approve of book/magazine reading at the table, but great results for sure.

[tikay]

And history is made! Craig tells me that John C T Law just checked EVERY street of a pot - that must be a first for John.......

[tikay]

......and then there were Four!

Alan McLean thought he was im good shape with QQ against Jim Reid's 9-9. but what about THIS for a board...

9-7-7-9-T....!

Alan McLean OUT 5th.

[The_nun]

woooo  ..monster

[tikay]

Taking Karabiner's point, I was asked to remove a book from the table once, on the grounds that I could secrete cards within it....!

[tikay]

John Law takes a lovely pot against Kerrigan in a strange hand. Kerrigan raises  with 9-9, John calls with 7-10 spades, no spades come, no 7 or T either, but a board of 6-9-J-Q-K gives no escape for Kerigan, & John takes a nice pot, & is up to maybe 230k.

5 minute break now, so lets get some chip counts......

[tikay]

Craig has got me the counts, & Mr Kerrigan's moniker is "Lesley" (or is that Leslie?).

John Law 238k

Jim Reid 132k

Camel 143k

Lesley Kerrigan 199k

Blinds are 3k - 6k - lovely structure, eh? Average is 175,000.

[Karabiner]

Leslie is the male form !

 

[tikay]

 
The guys are "fencing" now, Camel jutr RR'd John Law, Jim Reid put his 9-9 down, & John Law passed after a long dwell.

What a great final 4, I don't know L Kerrigan, but the other 3 are all "players" in the widest sense of the word. Wide, too......

[tikay]

Jim Reid OUT!

He had A-9, Leslie had QQ, & a flop of AAQ made it "no escape" for both olf them.

Jim takes home £3,825.

Three left.....

Left a message on the other post in general disscussions for the shef fest, i was the young lad in ladbrokes shirt u knocked out when down 2 3 tables left, your KQ to my QJ, board of 447, then J on turn, K river and i nearly fell of the chair at that point lol, Glad u put my chips 2 good use and shared them around anyway, was a pleasure playing against some of the UKs best and your self

[julian]

hehe, tough one to call, afraid i'll have to go with my saver...come on the camel!

[julian]

hi muirspud, yep, you were a little unlucky in that coup.
tikay had one of those 'unpleasant' drives home last night, one that we all take from time to time - he's made some adjustments to his play, got big chips early & whilst not being reckless, as the night wore on he always seemed to have the second best hand....such is poker.
chin up to you both, there's always another game, always something to be learnt.

[tikay]

Hi Muir,

Likewise, it was a real pleasure to play against you, I enjoyed it, & the luck was really with me the first half of the comp, I did the trick I did to you 4 or 5 times. But then I paid the bill later, & hand after hand went wrong for me, & then, I just fell to pieces, & played like a complete muppet. A lovely evening though, & I hope you & i meet again.

Julian - thanks mate. It stil pinches, but hey, worse things happen. Phil Quayle is here, we are having fun, & all is well with the world. Gutted for Dave too, 10th & no Euro Points, pah!.

[julian]

no, not a muppet, nice play on your exit hand, jim just made a great call.

give phil a nice big cuddle from me plz
