Will do 

Say hello to George for me, cheers.

A very cagey start to this final. Lots of pre-flop raising going on and perhaps a lot of hands dipping into cookie jars.

[snoopy1239]

After some pre-flop action, P Pihlajamaa (cut off -1) and Mohammed Shaffiq (button) saw a Flop of , which was then checked down through the Turn and River before the dealer chopped it up, both men holding A-Q.

Despite the bubble bursting, the shorter stacks haven't gone crazy yet and everyone is still pretty tight. I just did a 20 minute stint up top and every hand was raise followed by more passing than a bad Mastermind contestant. Blinds are 4k/8k for the next 20 minutes and then we go to 5k/10k which is when people start to feel the pinch I reckon....

[NoflopsHomer]

Praz raises to 22k, Chris Gavriel moves all-in for 22.5k more, Praz forced to call.

Board:



Gavriel back over 90k.

hi snoops just got home and reading thro the great updates. Naturally gutted to go out to the as you say "speculative" call with K10. Still it was fun while it lasted. Interesting to read the various comments on the "amazing fold" hand when the guy folded the house. He says he put me on 33 and therefore thought he was behind. What the report didn't say was that I had check raised with a more than pot sized bet the turn so you have to wonder why the call and then fold? If you think you are in front on the turn then how the **** can you be behind on the river, other than of course to quad . Good poker? Bad poker? Perhaps as it turned out he should have called and the missus wouldn't have had chance to lose so much in the casino lol!

Keep it up guys!

i 3rd that in a non bokking way

Lots more passing though Simon Zach seems to be ahead in the 'Steal the Blinds' game, I think the tight table has even affected Markus and Henning who haven't been raising much either. Finally last hand before the blinds went to 5k/10k S Javadi pushed here last 32k, Shaf, as CL, felt compelled to call with his half-wilson . Javadi was holding though.

Board:



Still ten players.

Couldn't agree more, he called the bet then hit HIS dream card on the River. He must have thought he had a read on you when you moved in on the River. Still, I don't think you can ever be that sure to fold to the all-in once calling the re-raise on the Turn.

Bad luck on your exit. Tough one to swallow.
