Bluesquare.com Plymouth GUKPT: Day 2 - At A Glance

[NoflopsHomer]

Praz involved in a couple of big hands.

I join his table to see him  pass KK to a 15k bet on the river of a A xxx T flop. His opponent shows TT for a rivered set...

The blinds now 1k 2k, Praz raises to 6k preflop, Johnny Hewston calls in the BB.

The flop is .

Check, Check.

Turn is the .

Check Check.

River and Johnny Hewston bets out 20k into the 14k or so pot...

Praz : "Will you show?"

Johnny : "I'll show if you pay 20k"

Praz is not happy but eventually passes, showing ...

Johnny shows him 66 for another rivered set!

I don't get this river bet from Hewston of 20k into a 14k pot, I can't see Praz calling without a flush, straight or bigger set here. Praz would've bet two pair earlier in the hand, I'm guessing he was worried about A-J, A-T and K-Q hands that Hewston could've limp-called a raise with. I'm guessing his turn check was because he assumed he was still either miles ahead or miles behind and only a better hand would call him.

Minos Sarmias is out, allin preflop with 44 against Sunny Chattha's KQ which connected with the flop, sending Minos to the rail...

Michael Bathe is also out...

[JungleCat03]

Raul's stack has just taken a dent. In a multiway limped pot, Raul bet out 5k on a 5 7 8 flop and David Milby raised another 18k allin which Raul called.

Raul showed J8 and David AA. The 5 turn and J river was accompanied by David Banging the table at the outdraw, before it was pointed out Aces and fives beats Jacks and eights...

Raul not looking too pretty now stackwise...

[NoflopsHomer]

Praz has just run into a third set, with A-Q against T-T on a A-4-2-T-3 board.

Three tables left.

[JungleCat03]

Praz is out, a victim of David Milby, his AQ no good  vs David's AK...

24 players remain...

[JungleCat03]

Ian Cox has taken a huge pot off Chris Gavriel.

After pushing preflop, Gavriel goes deep into the


 and eventually calls with 99.

Ian flips AK and the KJ6TQ flop gives both players a straight but Ian the nuts and he takes down a massive 160k pot much to his delight...

[NoflopsHomer]

And Sunny Chattha has taken out Tom Sambrook with against Aces after hitting a mouth-watering flop. Big-stacked and next to Ian Cox.



More misery for Raul Paez, he had against Alan Davies' Aces, crippled even more.

Mickey Wernick has knocked out Des Jonas with Queens vs Ace Jack

[JungleCat03]

Raul "THE BULL" Paez is OUT...

...Getting it in with KT on a T 7 9 flop against Terry Page's 76.

Terry loudly urges the dealer to "gimme a 7 or an 8" and the dealer obliges as the turn is a 7, knocking an unlucky and upset Raul out of the competition.

"That'll do" says Terry as he rakes in the pot....

[NoflopsHomer]

Chris Gavriel doubles up again for about the 4th time. He came over the top of a Burnley John raise, pushing with and getting called by . An incidental board, has moved him up to 45k.

[JungleCat03]

Brenda Gibson, riases to 8k UTG which is called by John Hewston in MP.

Brenda checks on the flop. John, after squirming and looking uncomfortable, asks Brenda if she is slowplaying....and checks behind.

The turn prompts a quick check again from Brenda and John checks behind again...

The river comes the and Brenda immediately bets out 10k.

John says "I played this as bad as I could" and when he calls with AJ it's hard to disagree!

Brenda shows AQ for the straight and rakes in the pot.

Both still have very formidable stacks though....

[NoflopsHomer]

Jon Hewston plzzz

140k, just paid off 10k to a rivered straight by a female opponent. A hand he said he played badly.

20 left, about to break to two tables. But in fact....

Just before the dinner break, John Falconer pushed UTG and was called by Julian Thew.

John showed pocket and Julian A8. A rivered 8 and Julian won the race, knocking John out and leaving 19 players to return after the break...

[NoflopsHomer]

Hewston, we have a problem.

Hewston raises to 18k preflop, Chris Hooper calls in the cutoff.

Flop:



Check check.

Turn:



Hewston bets 16k, Hooper makes it 46k, Hewston calls very quickly.

River:



Hewston instantly moves all-in.



Hooper dwells saying, "There's only one hand that can beat me..."

He finally, after an inexplicably long time, calls with . And just as this reporter is awaiting a boring chop chop. Hewston mucks! There's a count and he's out.

Hooper is now huge chip leader with nearly 300k.
