Eliot Bowker is OUT and becomes the 7th place finisher winning £12,600

Elliot Bowker raises it up pre-flop and Roberto Romanello calls.

Roberto then says "I check blind" before the Flop is dealt.

Flop =

The laid back Elliot sits back for a moment before leaning forward, reaching for a column of chips and betting 70k.

"Have you got Ace King?" asks an inquisitive Romanello.

Elliot, who told me earlier that he just says random things to Romanello when he asks these probing questions, simply decides to shrug his shoulders.

"I call," announces Roberto adamantly.

"And I check," he says before the Turn arrives.

Turn =

Elliot thinks for a moment before moving all-in.

Roberto calls immediately, turns over his A-T and rises from his chair in excitement.

A gutted Elliot turns over Queens and seems to know his fate, even before the rag River.

"A big round of applause for Elliot Bowker," says Big Mike on the er... mike as the online whiz kid exits the stage.

"I knew he had Ace Ten," added Greco. "That's exactly what I put him on."

Hoss raises to 50k, Dave Smith is the big blind... he doesn't go for it this time, although appearing tempted, at least.

Mike (the announcer - and very good he is too) tells the audience as they have a break that they're just not making enough noise - he's really doing his best, even calling "Anyone from Southampton??" to which he received stony silence in reply.  I might go down and see if it being quiet down there is a lack of atmosphere, or just a tense one.

River:   
Check-check to the river, where Hoss bets 60k to win that small one.

Dave Smith announces all in again; no callers.  He's not really climbing in chips, still a short stack - the only call resulted in that split pot earlier.  Well, nick enough blinds pushing preflop and you'll get all the chips eventually.

There was a bit of banter on this hand with Zach asking for a count and commenting, "Are you moving in from early position with A-9 again". Dave says "I can't hear" to which Zach jokingly remarks, "I forgot you were death." (Dave often says pardon when someone ask him a question during a hand).

Then Greco amusingly adds, "He said you had a stupid hat."

All good fun and will make jolly good TV.

i think Roberto is gonna take this down now. He's amazingly confident and with big stack is the 1 to beat... widh him luck from me snoop tx m 8

[snoopy1239]

Time for the Simon to take a pot down now, and although it wasn't easy, fellow Dusk Till Dawn enthusiast, Michael Greco, made him sweat, even asking for a chip count (which was 161k excluding the initial 46 raise). "Okay, I fold," says Greco.

Meanwhile, the crowd give a gentle and half-hearted ripple of applause to which Zach responds by trying to get them more excited, upping the applause by raising his hands up in the air in encouragement.

[snoopy1239]

Michael Greco: "Let's see some flops boys, let's play some poker, are you all scared play a flop?"

[snoopy1239]

Simon Zach limps and so does Roberto Romanello from the small blind, saying "I'm going to call blind, even though I think you could have a monster."

Dave Smith sees this as his opportunity to move in, which he does indeed do, first getting Zach to fold, and then Roberto (who had 7-3 off), but only after Roberto asked if he had a big hand and lifted Dave's hand up to see - the body part that is!

Dave shows an Ace.

[Redbull]

Come on Smithy! Bring it back to Notts.

Roberto has the button; as expected in goes 45k.  Small blind Hoss gets needled, "Go on, re-raise me," says Roberto.. He does - to 166k.
"You sure you got a hand, if I pass?"  He counts out the chips, "It's gonna be a big pot, isn't it?  But if I take 'em all, I've got a good chance of winning it.  You think you're beating me?"
Anyway, Hoss isn't in the talking mood, just says, "Call the bet."  "OK."
Flop:    Check from Hoss "I haven't got an Eight."  "I'm gonna take a risk, just in case," says Roberto, betting 100k at the same time as saying "I think you're winning.  I think you got me.  You don't want to pass the winning hand do you?  You can't pass.  There's a lot of people watching too.  You call every time - I've been watching you."

Hoss passes, after that unrelenting verbal onslaught; Roberto shows , and picks up the pot with shaky hands.

On a side note, Notts Gala regular Dave Smith is now guaranteed his biggest win to date.

Michael Greco raise it up pre-flop and Hoss calls.

Flop =

Greco inhales a deep breath before checking, Hoss calmly checks behind him.

Turn =

"You got any of that?" asks Greco.

"I've got some of it," replies Hoss.

"Some of it, hmm," says Greco. "Okay, I bet 50k."

"I think you've got me," comments Hoss as he folds.
