Bluesquare.com London GUKPT: FINAL TABLE

[Djinn]

Robert Boon makes up the small blind and Nick Gibson checks it.
Flop:   Check-check
Turn:   Check, 40k bet from Nick, who really doesn't seem to like checking the turn a lot.  Robert springs out a check-raise to 120k, which prompts another quizzical yet intense stare from Nick.  That's good enough to take it. (Robert's bet, not Nick's stare).
____________________________________

"I'd better find Aces again Leo," says Nick Gibson as he flat calls Kam's big blind.  Check.
Flop:    check-check
Turn: check to Leo who bets 30k, and that's the end of that hand.

On the button,

Nick Gibson opens the betting with a raise to 85k, Leo Kam stares at him before passing, and Robert insta-passes.

One more set of blinds and antes heads towards Nick Gibson.

Leo Kam raises to 120k on the button, Robert says "NO" or passes and Nick Gibson rests his fist in his mouth before CALLING the raise....

Nick checks in the dark.

FLOP:

Nick: DARK CHECK

Leo: Bets 80k

NICK: Calls...

TURN:

LEO bets 200k

NICK calls 200K.

RIVER:

Nick bets 300k...and Leo passes after a while.

Nick picks up a big pot...

[Djinn]

New threeway chip standings:

Nick Gibson -- 1,898,000
Leo Kam -- 1,480,000
Robert Boon -- 1,001,000

[JungleCat03]

Robert raises on the button and is rewarded by a pass from Nick and Leo...

Nick passes on the button and this opens the door for Kam to raise Robert's big blind to 90k, good enough to convince Robert to pass...

Leo's turn on the button but will he raise?

OMG, he passes!!!

Robert also passes and Nick announces "ALLIN!". I sense he was aware that the hand was already over though and was toying with us...

[actionjack]

goooooo onnnnn Nick   good  luck mate

[JungleCat03]

Kam raises to 100k on the button, no passing this time boys, and both the blinds lay down in the face of the feisty canadian's aggression.

Robert passes from the button, Nick calls from the small blind and Kam, RAISES 70k more and Nick CALLS.

FLOP:

Nick checks and Leo amazingly bets 100k. Nick says "call"

TURN:

Nick checks and Kam checks.

RIVER:

Nick checks, Kam bets 200k...

Nick CALLS, showing Q8 for 2 pair which is a good call to take the pot from Kam's bluff with TJ...

Perhaps, for once, Kam's aggression worked against him there, he was going to get looked up a lot on the river there, not such a great spot to bluff probably.

[vinni]

go on nick take it down

[Djinn]

Next case:

Button Nick lets the blinds off a raise, Leo calls on the s.b. but passes to the 70k raise which came straight away.

Come on gwibbo, we're rooting for you.  

[Djinn]

New counts show that Gwibbo has a pretty commanding chip lead:

Nick Gibson -- 2,290,000
Leo Kam -- 1,078,000
Robert Boon -- 999,000 

[Djinn]

Nick calls the small blind - check from Leo.
Nick bets out 50k - it's his.
___________________________________

Now on the button, Nick passes, leaving it to Leo to call on the s.b., check from Robert Boon. 
is the uninspiring flop - but Leo is inspired to bet out 120k... although when Robert raises to 260k Leo just flat calls.
Turn:    Leo, now short (comparatively) moves all in.  Robert stares at something in the middle distance which is probably the flop on the big plasma screen over the table.  He clearly doesn't like what he sees as he passes eventually, dropping even further down the chip ladder:

Nick Gibson -- 2,300,000
Leo Kam -- 1,306,000
Robert Boon -- 773,000

[JungleCat03]

Leo passes on the button, Robert limps in, Nick applies a limper's tax consisting of a raise to 140k and Robert refuses to pay his tax, takes his medicine and passes his cards...

Next hand, Robert passes, Nick calls and Leo checks...

FLOP:

Nick checks, Leo checks

TURN:

Nick checks, Leo bets 40k, Nick now raises to 120k and Leo CALLS.

RIVER:

Nick checks, Leo now also checks and shows J5, Nick shows J8 and his slim kicker advantage is enough to take down the pot, bolstering Nick's ever burgeoning chip stack...

[Djinn]

Nick declines to play his button again, leaving Leo to take the blinds with his raise to 140k, and then raise his button next hand to 140k for good measure.  This time, however, Robert Boon re-raises out of the small blind to 320k, and Leo calls.
Flop:    Robert, who'd put around half his stack in pre, shoves, and takes a needed boost in chips as Leo folds.

[JungleCat03]

Nick calls from the small blind, Leo announces allin and Nick passes quickly...

Leo calls the 20k from the small blind and Robert checks in the BB

FLOP: As

CHECK CHECK

TURN:

CHECK CHECK

RIVER:

Leo checks, Robert checks and Leo shows 7-5, his pair of sufficient to take the pot down...

[JungleCat03]

Robert raises to 90k from the small blind and Nick calls the 50k raise in the big blind...

FLOP:

Robert bets 100k, Nick folds and Robert takes down the pot...
