Christmas Cracker £750 Main Event - Final Day - INTERACTIVE

[Sheriff Fatman]

Can't decide which half of that picture is the most attractive!

[Djinn]

Sorry been a minute or two - watched Paul King raise a few times taking some blinds before this big hand:

Anthony and Ryan all-in preflop (there seems to be almost no post-flop stuff going on)...
Anthony shows: 
Ryan shows: 

Flop:    (he's probably reliving that AK vs A7 from earlier)
Turn: 
River:

And the rivered straight puts Ryan Fronda back in contention to win.  I really don't want to say it...OK...It's anybody's game.

No business struck.

Jen, you're doing the work of two men   

[Djinn]

Hand 1 - Anthony raises from the button to 40k (blinds are now 10k/20k), Paul calls and then check-folds the A 4 4 flop.  (Succinct, no?)

Hand 2 - Small blind Paul calls and Anthony checks.  Flop:  .  Paul bets out 20k; call.
Turn:  .  Paul bets out 20k, Anthony raises to 40k, call.
River: .  Paul now bets out 50k, and gets a pretty quick call - he mucks when he sees Anthony's .

Hand 3 - Paul raises all-in on the button, called by big blind Ryan with Ah .  He held and the board brought the likely split.

[Djinn]

Now Paul and Ryan get it all in preflop (Ryan button pushing, called by Paul): 
Ryan's K6 in bad shape against Paul's KQ, especially after two Queens flopped.

Now they do a deal - £14,000 each, play for the rest.

Many thanks.  This is why I am as lazy as two men the rest of the week to make up for it.

I think that was a subtle insult to my gender.

[ariston]

i missed that red. Some of us don't get too upset over a little gender bashing.

Some of us have very little gender to bash!

Now shhhh before Jen skins me alive for disrupting her update.

[Djinn]

Ryan Fronda now has twice 250,000 after his button all-in was called by Anthony Kirkbride -

Ryan held pocket Jacks and although an Eight came matching Anthony's somewhat, the Jacks held and they're still three handed.

The chip position is now Ryan - in front, Anthony - second with 300k or so, Paul  - third with 200k or so.  Impossible to bring you an accurate count, mainly because they are playing a good number of hands per hour and it will have all changed by the time I get back to my table to write about it.

Only one hand got as far as flop action in the last 15 minutes:

Anthony limps on the small blind, Ryan checks the big blind.  Flop:  .  Anthony checks, Ryan bets what looked like an arbitrary chunk of chips but I'm sure was a calculated 60k.  Anthony quickly raises all in, for 180k more.  This sparks probably the dwell of the tournament from Ryan, but he eventually passes, showing the .
