Cardiff GUKPT: FINAL DAY - Interactive

[Djinn]

Steve Craig and Dave Smith are now the short stacks, in trouble against the chips of the other three - liable to need to win at least one of those on-their-backs tourney-on-the-line type things just to be able to play any poker in these later stages. 

Steve's already made his first pre-flop push, no callers.

RRRRRRRROOOOOOBBBBBBERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

he is going to win it.said so on thursday night after i went from 15k to 0 and he went from 15k to 30.he is a class player and is far too good for the remaining ppl.if he has worst hand hel talk u off yours,if he got the best of it he will get ur money in.world class.go on m8

[Djinn]

flop is seen by, everyone, I think.  Checked round, the turn comes:  .  Dave and Hoss checks, Roberto bets 40k and Hoss calls, saying "I think you've got nothing."
"You're right, I have."
and Hoss now has Deuces full, which takes out Roberto's Ace-high (double-check on the river).

Dave moves all-in from early position with 59k (has to move at some point) but runs into two callers in Hoss and Steve.

The two bigger stacks check down a Flop and Turn of before Hoss bets 100k on the River.

Hoss turns over a Jack, but Dave wins with a Queen and trebles up.

Nice little cheer from the crowd to boot.

After that, Steve Craig is now in the same position - moving all in soon thereafter for 143k.  Roberto Romanello asks for a count, and then says, "I shouldn't have asked," before dwelling and asking if he'll show if he passes (that old chestnut). 
"Do you want me to call?"  (here we go again)
"I do."
"Let's gamble."

Roberto:
Steve: 
Flop:    (the press room is convinced that it's all over)
Turn: 
River: 
But no - bullets dodged, and a stack which Roberto might not autocall if he pushes in.

i said roberto will gamble with them hes no affraid to call if he feels as if hes live.,.,

Michael Greco and Hoss Parhazkar get tangled up in a potentially action packed hand which failed to live up to the hype of what they were holding, eventually fizzing out due to the scary flop.

Greco (raising 40 pre-flop) =

Parhazkar (calling the 40k raise)

Both checked down the

"Damn, I should have bet," moans Greco kicking himself.

well i think any1 would pal comparing the chips they got

wheres my sunglasses.,.,.,i said you got to have big balls in later stages and this just shows.,.,

Hoss raises on the button to 75k (although he does say, "Bet" which it would do him a favour to replace with the word, "Raise" in general to avoid confusion in these situations).

Michael calls.  Flop:    Michael checks, Hoss checks.
Turn:    check-check
River: 

Hoss shows A-Q while Michael had a pair of Jacks - somehow that got all the way through without a single bet.  Hoss takes it with top two. 

[snoopy1239]

At the tables...

[Djinn]

Flop:    (threeway)
Turn   Michael bets out 30k, called by Roberto only.
River:    Michael bets 100k.  Roberto shakes his head, but calls.

Greco showed for the winning house, Nines full - it was announced that Rob had "Trip Kings" but since that's impossible it was either Kings or something with a Deuce in it in Roberto's hand.  Plus he said, "You rivered me."  In any case he'd lost his chance to win it with earlier bets - but then again he (Rob)'s pretty near impossible to put on a hand.

Dave Smith is OUT and becomes the 5th place finisher winning £18,900

Everyone sees a cheap flop, except for Romanello, ironically.

Flop =

All check.

Turn =

Dave Smith (small blind) announces all-in for 99k.

Folds round to Greco who asks for a count.

"Got a draw, Dave?"

"No."

"Trip fours?"

"I can't tell you that."

"I call"

"Nice hand"

Greco shows 9-9 which holds up against Dave's K-5, the River giving both players three pairs.
