PokerStars Dublin EPT: Day 2 - At A Glance

[NoflopsHomer]

And the bubble is gone!

Patrick White went out in 34th when his A-Q was beaten by Lodden's K-T after board came Q-x-x-A-J


But Andy Black is astonishingly our bubbler, he raised from the button with A-K after William Thorsten had limped UTG and called the raise. The flop came A-9-4 and Andy  bet with William check/raising all-in, Andy called in a huge pot (450k) and was shown a set of Nines. Another Ace came on the turn but no Ace, King or Four appeared on the river.

Roland despose of another player in the bizarrely named Ara Melikian.

Ara was shortstacked and made his move with a lowly 9-3 suited, but found a caller in Roland who took him on with A-8.

The 7-T-2 rainbow flop was no good for Ara, whilst the Ace on the river confirmed his exit.

Down to 24.

[NoflopsHomer]

There's now a redraw for the remaining 24 players, but last hand before that happened, Rob Yong moved his 100k in from the button, the big blind dwelt asking him if he wanted a call and Rob said he was about "50-50,".

The big blind called and his was ahead of Rob's .

Board:




Rob on around 200k now.

Ray Coburn is OUT.

A-Q vs Paul Testud's Eights.

[NoflopsHomer]

Gavin Sims knocks out Kambiz Kashi with A-K against A-5 on a A-6-3-9-7 board.

He then crippled the last lady Karin Lindgren with against her on a board. She went all-in blind the next hand for her remaining 3k and went out to a Queen-high straight.

20 left now I think.
