Womblecam 2: The Rock Strikes Back

Save Womble!

"It just doesn't look like he's going to arrive," weeped a dejected Jonathan Raab.

"Jonathan," I replied, "I think the dream is over."

"Hey, hold on," continued Jonathan as the front door shuddered, "what's this?"

And then it happened. Like a scene from Chariot's of Fire, in he strode. My world span round momentarily and everything moved in slow-motion as my hero entered the arena. As the shadowy figure approached, the spring in his step and the twinkle in his eye confirmed that this was Womble, he'd finally arrived, and boy did he look hungry.

Jonathan and I looked at one another, a renewed hope electrifying our bodies. The dream was alive!



"Run!" I pleaded, "Run!".

As Womble took his seat, he looked at his opponents, and with the cool of Clint Eastwood in a shootout at dawn, simply said, "I never rush anything."

So far Womble has done more beautifully controlled passing than the 1970's Brazilian Football Team.

Stephen Walmsley has been a busy bee of late. According to my source, he was all in not too long ago. "I jammed with a marginal hand," confessed Womble. "He had A-K," added Alan Vinnicombe. Pause. "As I said, a marginal hand."

As Womble folds his big blind to a preflop raise (standard), I continue to loiter patiently to see if he will be presented with the opportunity to limp from the small blind. After the button limps, Womble does indeed make up the blind and Mohammed Shoahebe checks his option. On a flop, I sensed Womble was itching to lead out, but in the end he opted for a check, as did Mohammed, which allowed the button to take a stab with a bet of 2,000. Womble twitching in his seat momentarily before doing the wise thing and folding, before Mohammed popped in a reraise to take the pot. Wondering if Womble was contemplating a move, I tapped him on the shoulder: "It's too early to get excited," he replied.

In a remarkable turn of events, Womble has seen two flops within one level. After Terry Owens raised it up to 3,000 preflop, Womble called from the small blind, and so did Mohammed Shoahebe in the big. As a nine high flop hit the felt, Womble made a deep reach and pushed all in. The crowd held their breath. Although Mohammed quickly folded, Terry paused briefly before realising that his middle set was behind and making the correct fold. Womble survives!

Womble is OUT. A J-8-x flop, Womble holding Queens against Terrence Owen's T-9 and the rivered set our hero didn't want to see.

A nation mourns.

But Womble will return!!!

He may be out, but here is the video of Womble's belated arrival at the casino today. Something for all the womblefans out there in cyberspace. He told me that he intended to 'fold with panache' today. It's just a shame that we were not able to witness it for too long.

Long Live the Tory Boy from Wimbledon Common!
