5 is now 4...

Andrew Couldridge had been raising UTG every time for the last 4-5 rounds. Andros Spyrou, in the BB, was getting upset and jokingly commented about a squeeze play. Andrew grinned and raised again UTG, this time to 250k, but he found Graham Giles moving all in from the button! Andrew went into the tank and decided to call.

Andrew:
Graham:

Graham's squeeze play hadn't worked, but the first card on the flop was the , to cheers from his supporters. However, they were soon sighing, as the rest of the flop was and Andrew had flopped the nuts! The turn, however, decided that this hand wasn't over, as it was the and Graham needed a Ten or a Jack to take the pot. The river was paint, but not a Jack, it was the which gave Graham a straight as well but Andrew had Broadway to take the pot.

After the chips were counted, Graham had 95,000 left. He duly chucked them in next hand, and blinds Andros and Andrew called. They checked the flop, and Andros bet 80k on the turn. Andrew ruefully grinned and folded. Graham flipped for the flush draw as Andros showed for the turned straight. The river was the and Graham Giles was eliminated in 5th place for £16,500.

The flop came , the turn was and the river was to send Owen home in 4th place, taking £21,400 back to Ireland.

What did the players do in that last break?

We're now heads up!

Ollie Schaffmann raised to 180k on the button, and Andros Spyrou decided now was the time and moved all in for 1.4m. Ollie counted the chips out and decided that because he had 600k back if he called and lost, he would make the call!

Ollie:
Andros:

The door card was the , which sent the rail wild, and the dealer peeled back the and , giving Ollie trip queens. The turn was the , leaving Andros drawing dead and Ollie celebrating wildly. The river was the to give Ollie the full house in a little rubdown.

We're having a short break to do chip counts before the heads up.

Was on his table on day 1 - he's a loose cannon.  Kept getting lucky.  But saying that, I never had a read on him, never knew what he had!

[KarmaDope]

Calls off with Q-high because he has 7.5BB's behind? Level?

I spoke to him afterwards and he said he didnt want to grind out 200k a round and also, he knew it was a 60/40 at best.

[KarmaDope]

There has been a deal. Andrew is taking £60,000 and Ollie is taking £50,000. They're playing for £14,000, a £5,300 EPT London seat and the trophy.

Ollie has taken the first 2 pots and it's now 4m vs 5.5m.

[KarmaDope]

Blinds are 50k/100k with no running ante.

Surely he should shove pre then and at least have fold equity?

[KarmaDope]

That lasted long, it's all over!

There was a 450k raise preflop and called. I arrived to see the flop and Ollie bet out 600k. Andrew raised to 3.5m, effectively setting Ollie all in. Ollie agreed and we had a showdown!

Ollie:
Andrew:

Andrew had decided to run a massive bluff and had been caught, he had 3 outs to win the title or Ollie would be a massive chip leader. The dealer duly delivered one of those, the on the turn, and Ollie now had to spike a 9 to keep the tournament alive. The river wasn't a 9, to rub it in it was the to give Andrew a full house and the UKIPT Nottingham title!

Ollie took home £50,000 for second place, and Andrew won £74,000 cash, £5,300 EPT London entry and the trophy.
