Jen grabbed me as I walked past to relate an intesting exit hand from her table.
Paul Hassan Mehmet raised to 600 preflop, only to pick up no less than FIVE calls! Crikey!
The flop came T-6-7 and Paul led for 2,000, receiving a sole caller in Andy Warnes.
The turn was a blank and the chips now went in, Andy calling Paul's shove with A-T, which you might have thought was a bit light, until Paul turned over Q-T for just top pair with a worse kicker!
"He didn't even have a redraw!" exclaimed Jen, perhaps suggesting she would have stacked off herself if she had a gutshot or something.
No Q on the river meaning a Mehmet shaped hole appeared in the table and Paul receives a healthy boost to his stack.
In other news we are a Red Dog down!
Victim of one of the last hands of level two before the break, he called a small raise with pocket sixes, only for the board to come 6-7-8 with two clubs.
"That's what got me in't troooble!" he told me in his classic brogue as when the board paired with an
on the turn, and a blank river fell, he found himself all-in with his full house, only to have been cold decked in unfortunate fashion as his opponent flipped pocket sevens for a slightly bigger house.
"Mebbe i coulda sehved meself 1,200 on the river", he lamented sadly, briefly stopping on his way out of the pressroom to admire the size of Snoopy's dongle. "It flashes and everything!!" Snoopy commented enthusiastically.
So should you be interested in looking at pictures of Snoopy flashing his massive dongle, please let me know and I'll post some up.
