Julian Thew is OUT. Crippled with Jacks against Dan Sampson's Fours, he then had Ace Queen into Andrew Brisland's Kings.
Dean Sanders meanwhile is on ubertilt. Lots of people limped including Kareem Louis (2nd in Brighton), a short stack pushed for 4k and Dean Sanders pushed behind with Aces, a couple folded and then, apparently Kareem called all-in for 15k with
and hit a flush on the river...
Sanders however just got a double up pushing over the top of Dan Sampson's button push with A-Q and finding himself up against J-9, though after the flop he was rolling his eyes up in the air when it came down 8-7-6, another 8 on the turn followed by a Q on the river has put him back in the game with about 22k.
Dean was telling me that after the hand in Monte Carlo last year, (He held 8-7 on a T-9-6 board vs Marc Karam's T-9 which hit running 6's for the chip lead with about 20 left) and then having the nuts rivered in the WSOP ME, he took a lot of time off tournaments and didn't play one until January this year, and that this is only his second, preferring just to play cash back in the Vic.
Dan Sampson has since gone OUT.
