More mischief from Ariston.
I spoke to Brad Shaw, whilst encaged in the zoo-like smoking facilities here in Luton. He was bemoaning his luck, losing a decent pot on an ace high flop when a six fell on the river and his opponent made aces up to his A-Q.
"I knew exactly where I was throughout the hand. I knew the guy was fishing with a rag ace! Rivered again."
As I re-entered the card-room, Tikay told me about a hand Ariston had played beautifully..."So he had A-6..."
...........hmmmm sounds familiar!
Ariston had done a rather ungentlemanly hit and run after mugging Brad for half his stack and is now causing carnage with his blossoming $20,000 on a different table. This wasn't an end to the drama on table Tikay though as suddenly we had an all-in!
Two players, Neil Bethune and an unnamed opponent saw a
flop. On the
turn Neil bet out and was check-raised, only to move all-in!
He was called and he turned over pocket threes for a full house, only for mateyboy to sadly flip over 4-5 for the nut straight. He stared morosely at the board hoping for some outs to appear but none did, meaning he was left short and nearly out, whilst Neil doubled up with a smile.
