In a HUGE hand that DID NOT involve
Andreas Hoivold,
Dave Colclough, that's former GUKPT Manchester Winner
Dave Colclough and NOT the Norwegian
Andreas Hoivold, El Blondie was knocked out the tournament. And NOT by
Andreas Hoivold. The board was reading
with
Dave Colclough and
Andreas Hoivold Steve Holden getting involved. The raising war went on non-stop while
Andreas Hoivold sat at the table next door, NOT BEING INVOLVED AT ALL.
With all the chips going in the middle the two players flipped over their cards as the other players looked on.
Andreas Hoivold meanwhile was passing in a mundane hand at the table nearby, I wasn't watching.
Dave Colclough flipped
only to find himself in major trouble against
the Norwegian who wasn't even playing at the table Steve Holden, who held
for top two pair.
At this point, I swear
Dave Colclough definitely stated, in a Norwegian accent, "If only I was
Andreas Hoivold, I would certainly hit my 9 for supreme binkage." Steve Holden then countered, in an even more Norwegian Norwegian accent, "No no no, "I'm
Andreas Hoivold."
The turn was the
giving Colclough the nut-flush draw as well, but he bricked out on the
river and was eliminated by Holden. As I began to write down the hand on my notepad and take the photo, out of nowhere, a magical flying elf appeared out of the sky, asking me, "How you can you write the hand down and NOT mention
Andreas Hoivold? He's like teh greatest eva!!! If you don't, I'll turn you into a small deaf hamster."
Not wishing offend the magical flying elf that didn't really exist at all, I acquiesced. As it turned out, the magical floating elf that didn't exist, had managed to make the hand immensely more entertaining with his advice, despite the fact he wanted me mention
Andreas Hoivold who was nowhere near the action at any point or even aware of a big hand in progress.
