Peter Arrigoni is out and becomes the 6th place finisher winning £17,850

Before Rod and I had been given a chance to breathe, we encountered another all-in with Peter Arrigoni requiring aid from the poker gods. With the board reading , he had against the of James Mitchell. The on the turn narrowed Peter's outs, and by the river, he was gone.

Martin Green shoves the button for 250k and every gets out of the way bar Sam Trickett in the big blind.

Sam deliberates for some time, clicking his chips and counting out the call restlessly before eventually quietly announcing fold...

The Green Machine trundles onwards.

Onto the next hand...

[snoopy1239]

That last departure of course means that the Green has climbed another rung of the ladder and is just a a gnat's pube away from fulfilling his dream. Meanwhile, we are just that little bit closer to saving the Green and keeping a slice of Liverpool in poker.

This man's going nowhere, just look at him, he's a fighter! Come on the Green, do it for the children.

The action folds round to Martin Green who pauses, as if contemplating a move, before making up the small blind. Martin Jarvis checks the big.

On the flop, Green tries to bet out 21,000, but is reminded that 24,000 is the minimum and so chucks in the extra 3,000. Either way, it's enough to make Jarvis fold.

If PeteL is there can you tell him to watch Sam closely so that maybe he can learn a thing or two and one day return the favour!

gl trickett!

[snoopy1239]

James Mitchell raises it up to 60k from the button, Sam Trickett calls in the small blind and David La Ronde folds the big.

Both players check down an board before Same leads out for 100,000 on the river.

James makes the call, but mucks upon being shown .

[JungleCat03]

The action has slowed a lilttle from the frantic opening but it is periodically punctuated by Martin Green moving all-in every so often.

In the last six hands, he has moved in three times, each time without being called.

Martin has been able to pick up a lot of chips today without ever being called or having to show his hand through judiciously shoving his stack in every so often.

He has pushed over other people's preflop raises far more often than he has raised himself - an interesting strategy that so far has worked well as it has fired him up the leaderboard and although he has yet to challenge the bigger stacks, he is still in there fighting away.

Can the green machine do it?

[JoeyLove]

Wow. The green machine is certainly gathering pace. The poker players of Liverpool are proud to see their leader taking this one down. Come on Godfather Green!

[JungleCat03]

And as if like clockwork, Sam Trickett raises on the button to 60k, Martin Green shoves all-in for 270k more and Trickett folds face up.

Rob Sherwood is watching on the rail and ran over enthusiastically after that hand.

"I predicted that one before they dealt the cards! Sam raise, Martin shove!"

To be honest it is becoming a recurring pattern. At some point Sam will have to either change his strategy or find a hand as at the moment, Martin is taking bites out of Sam's stack that will start to hurt eventually...

[snoopy1239]

I think Martin Green's got to many chips now, because instead of going all in, he was able to make a standard preflop raise of 60,000. Sadly for the Liverpudlian, he was met by a reraise to 150,000 by Sam Trickett in the big blind, which was enough to take the pot uncontested.

[SonOfMartinGreen]

Ahh, is Rob the poorly dressed man my Dad would have invited to our house to stay?
He drove a 1980's proton, moaned a lot about random stuff like "who likes carrots?", and such other rants!

I hear he is a VERY good tournament player though...   ... He sounds like he knows what hes talking about from that quote!

Come on Dad, take it down!

Rough chip count

[JungleCat03]

Sam raises it up preflop and is called by David Laronde.

The flop comes and Sam leads for 85k, called by La Ronde.

Neither player seemed to like the turn as it went check, check.

The river was the and again it went check check, Sam showing down pocket Tens which was sufficient to beat the 8-9 -flopped top pair - of La Ronde...


Shortly afterwards James Mitchell raises it up, only to find Sam Trickett making it 100k more...he passes.

Sam is showing some relentless aggression now as the table has gone shorter handed.

Could it be the Sam show?

I played with Martin Green for most of yesterday, and he didn't let on about his intentions. But, I must say he's as good and hungry as ever if his play from yest is anything to go by. A true gentleman and I for one am rooting for him. ALso, what a pleasure to have Mr Mardel in the field even if he did take me out. Hope to see more of him great fella
