I was just chatting with a player and he said, "This could go on a while, they're quite deep. I can see it going a few hours"
My response was that La Ronde is an aggressive player and it might be shorter than you think.
Call me Mystic Meg.
In the first hand back from the break, we get action...
Sam made a standard raise on the button, only for La Ronde to re-raise to 260k...
Sam now pushed all-in for 2 million and La Ronde... CALLED!!!!
Hands on their backs.
Sam Trickett:
David La Ronde:
So Sam looking in great shape to take this down as the the dealer dealt the flop. Still a little tense though - for both players...
The flop came
! - A superb flop for Sam giving him top two and leaving La Ronde drawing at runner runner...
TURN:
! - no more outs for La Ronde meaning the river was irrelevant. Sam punches the air as it sinks in!

Sam Trickett is the CHAMPION of the Luton GUKPT, winning £95,000 plus the shiny trophy plus the sparkling watch plus the seat into the Champion of Champions Event plus the seat into the Main Event final.Well played Sam, a superb result for a talented aggressive player and a glittering future in poker beckons for this young star.
