[snoopy1239]

Des raises it up to 130k.

Dan Carter counts his chips, separates them into piles and nervously rifles some chips in his hand before putting his head in his hands in deep thought.

With a pained expression on his face, the youngster lifts up his head and pushes them all-in with one single motion.

Des makes the obligatory call.

Down to 5.

Shaf has been warned by the staff to keep it down (prompting a round of applause).  So he resorts to violence, "I'll get my kit off.  Dazzle the audience."  The mind boggles.

------------------------------

Button Dan Carter raises, and Billy Ngo quickly reraises all in from the small blind.  It's a 447k call, and Dan, newly chipped up or not, backs off. 

------------------------------
Threeway pot -
flop:  Jerome (sb) Des and Dan check.
Turn:    Jerome bets 60k, Des calls, Dan raises all in.  Jerome passes instantly, and Des says, "I'm going to make an amazing pass here" showing J-5!

Dan shows the .

Des Jonas is OUT and becomes the 5th place finisher winning £21,600

Jerome raises pre-flop to 130k and Des moves all-in for another 225k.

After mulling it over for a few minutes and saying, "If you have an overpair, I'm dead in the water", Jerome decides to gamble with , behind but far from dead against Des' .

Shaf                                  I

Dan and Billy check it down as blinds, both end up with King high and Dan's 8 kicker takes it.  "I think I played that quite well," he says.

That's pretty much it for the last 15 mins.

****************15 minute break**************

[snoopy1239]

Dan makes up the small blind and Billy checks.

2-K-K Flop

Dan bets 40k, Billy calls.

Ten turn

Both check

Nine River

Dan bets 80k and Billy makes it 180k.

"I really think you've got K-2," says Dan.

"I swear to God I don't have that," responds Billy.

Dan moves all-in and Billy calls.

Billy takes the pot with K-T, Dan has Nines.

Dan down to the felt with under 100k.

[Djinn]

Dan is all in for 97k (what a surprise)... Jerome calls the 72k extra from the big blind.
vs - ooh, not a good match up for a double through, and with an Ace and two Tens on the flop, Dan was already standing up as the turn and river came out.

So Dan Carter finishes 4th, winning £28,800


Three-way Chip Counts:

Mohammed Shafiq -- 684,000
Jerome Bradpiece -- 1,639,000
Billy Ngo -- 1,277,000

[Djinn]

Interesting observation.

The 10k extra for the winner means that there is ALWAYS something to play for, even if they split the entire pot.

This must surely avoid a complete all-in fest at the end, which can only be a good thing, especially when it's televised.

BREAKING NEWS - - - - THERE IS NO DEAL

Shaf wanted to split 60% between them and play for the rest.  Jerome, quite rightly, told him where to go.

[Djinn]

Blinds are now 25k/50k  Shaf goes all in two hands in a row and picks up a pile of chips in blinds.

Mohammed Shafiq is OUT and becomes the 3rd place finisher winning £39,600


Bradpiece raised with , Shafiq announced "all-in" with and Bradpiece, after a momentary dwell, called.

Board =

-----------------

Jerome Bradpiece -- 2.3 million
Billy Ngo -- 1.3 million

[Djinn]

Cagey start, 1 x walk for Jerome, then:

1) Jerome raises on the button - +100k.  Billy re-raises all in.  Pass. 
2) Billy flat calls, Jerome raises another 140k.  Billy moves in. "Really?" asks Jerome.  "Absolutely."  "No messing about, huh Billy?"  Jerome debates out loud whether he can pass the hand he has heads up - and worries about the evening of stacks which will occur should he call and lose.  CALL -

Jerome shows: 
Billy shows: 

Flop:
Turn: 
River:

Which means Billy 'The Kid' Ngo is 2nd place finisher, winning £59,400............

                                  .......and Jerome Bradpiece is THE CHAMPION, winning £111,600, BlueSquare's £10k and a seat in the Final.  And a watch.
