Peter Gould is all but out, left with just 6.5k after Daniel Donnabedian moved all-in on an board, Pete's A-8 in bad shape against Daniel's A-Q.

King River was of no use.

Peter even called it pre-flop, saying, "Have you got that Ace Queen again?"

UTG - Tens
Sorel - One of Snoopy's Business Cards and a Magic: The Gathering Black Lotus Card.

Peter Gould and his now several k are hanging in... just, first splitting a pot with Adrien Gavile, A-9 vs. A-9 before somehow being given a walk in the big blind.

What would Mickey Wernick do...

I wasn't the only want to be surprised by Sorel's hand, especially after he went to the fuss of asking for the TD. Apparently he did raise by mistake, and he had no intention of smooth calling with Kings, but personally I just didn't think it was worth it as the initial raiser clearly had a big hand (under the gun raise remember) and was never going to fold after sticking so much of his stack in the middle.

However, Sorel thought it was worth an act in order to tease someone behind him into detecting weakness and pushing over the top.

Sorel Mizzi gets involved in a big pot against button Vivian Anseline... caught it on the turn with the board .  Sorel bet out 16k into a pot which had already reached the 20k mark, and after a suitable dwell, Vivian moved in.  It was just 13k more for Sorel to call with his , which he duly did, finding his opponent holding , and rivering the fourth Nine for good measure.  Down to 36k for Mizzi (pictured).

Meanwhile over on Table Deeb (where Freddy is less than delighted with the chat of Kirill Rabtsov and happy to tell him so, after one of those funny French rulings allowed him to do whatever it was he was doing )...

Johan Storakers, short stack, picrured, moves in preflop over a standard raise, only to get back his 19k plus the chips in the centre.  He shows and the others are in no hurry, it looks like, to take him on when he commits chips.

This hand didn't involve the pictured Sorel Mizzi, but included the two players sandwich either side of him: Ram Vaswani and Eric Koskas.

Koskas raised it up pre-flop (and under-the-gun) to 5,500, only to receive two smooth callers (the call is smooth not Gourlay  ) in Paul Gourlay and Ram Vaswani.

Flop =

Koskas pushes all-in for 34.5k, Paul folds, albeit after a brief session in the think tank, and Ram nonchalantly calls.

Ram =

Koskas =

Turn =

River =

... and Koskas is gone.

To my delight, I said to Dutch blogger Vincent that I thought Paul had either Eights or Nines, and I was right, he'd let go of the latter.

Hey, that's 3 pictures of Roy Walker on one page. I think that's a blonde poker record!

Respect the Walker.
