We were deep in Day Two of this Event. I got Mick Fletcher in Seat 6, me in 7, Gosney in 8, & Praz in seat 1.
I'm just an onlooker, I can't go the pace with those boys, I got way above average & am biding my time, I need a hand against these boys, I can't ouytplay them. But as anyone who knows Mick Fletcher will tell you, when he gets chip's he's a right bugger to handle, R, R, R R R.
I don't think Praz had played Fletcher previously, though I may be wrong.
Praz joins the table, & sits out for a whle, watching tricks. Fletcher is Table Captan, BIG time, & once he invests chips in a Pot, he rarely passes.
I'm fascinated by this. Praz is eyeing up Fletcher, & I can sense an incident soon. They both have 60k ish.
Fletcher, again, Raises, UTG this time, makes it 4k to play. All pass to Praz. Praz think for maybe 2 minutes, staring at Fletcher the whole time. Then calls.
Flop comes
Fletcher insta bets, 10k this time.
Praz repeats the long dwell & stare. Never taskes his eyes off Fletcher. 5 minutes go by. Praz eventually calls. The entire table is spellbound.
Turn is
Again, insta-bet by Fletcher, 20k this time.. Again, Praz thinks, Praz stares at Fletcher. Fletcher is like the Iceman, but he's looking a bit edgy now. Praz, after 6 or 7 minutes, calls.
River,
Now Fletch makes his first mistake - he can't pull the trigger. He has about 20k left, & thinks, then taps the table. In a flash, Praz, still without taking his eyes off Fletcher, says "all-in", it's his last 20k
Now it's Fletchers time to dwell up, & dwell up he does, for an age. Eventually, he flicks his cards in the muck.
"Wanna see my hand?" says Praz. "Nope" says Fletcher.
But some nosey guy says "yes please, I do". I could not help myself, this hand was like the Ivey-Jackson hand in the Monte Carlo Millions, which I also witnessed first hand.
And Praz turns over
.
Breathtaking.
And poor briefly Mick left the table, to vent a little frustration. No need, he'd been outplayed by a great Champion.
Awesome stuff, & I'll never forget it. The boy has game.
"The entire table is spellbound."
Are you sure the entire table hadn't fallen asleep? A 20 minute hand is pretty sleep inducing in my book.
I told them one of my train stories while they waited. They were fascinated.

Oh God.
Please don't say we have teams like "The Crew" and "The Shippit Hollas" starting up over here.
I always thought poker was an solo pastime.
Please let there be no hollering and high fiving when someone gets outdrawn here, it might just be enough for me to give up the game. I absolutely cannot abide it myself.
Sadly, there was plenty of hollering & high-fiving in Bolton, from a few players and from the Rail, but not by any decent players.
The better players generally win & lose with some semblence of dignity. When did you ever see Thewy, Wernick, Praz, Gosney, Bambos, Lucy, or Ash Hussain giving it the table-banging thing?

Oh, and before Jen and I head off, I have to show you this photo of Praz that was ruined somewhat by some random guy lurking in the background.
Anyone know who the hell he is??

Enjoyed 3 big battles with Paul - he really bossed Day 2 at our table for quite some time until he tilted for a few orbits When my AJ beat his AQ after hitting a J on the flop. To his credit he recovered and could have with a few more hands gone on to the Final Table - hope to play with Paul live again

Hi Greg, welcome to blonde.
Paul who?
He must be referring to quiet Irish player, Paul Higgins who made Day 3, but not the final table.
For those that don't know, crosscourtbh is 4th place finisher, Greg Howard.
He's from New Zealand, but don't hold that against him as, from my first encounter, he is one of the nicest guys I've met in poker for a while. Approachable, friendly and always happy to chat.
ps. Greg, could I borrow some money?
