DTD Monte Carlo £250,000 GTD: Day1a

[TightEnd]

Sitting doing another round of tighty...Jamie O'Connor sidles up to describe his exit and a new chip leader

I had to hear it, so you will too

"I've lost a swearword swearword 120,000 pot to a swearword swearword muppet

I had the Nut flush on the turn and got it all in against middle two paid, he obviously filled up on the river.

I made it 1,100, he went 12,000, I went 27,000, he shoved for 60,000. I obviously called.

So sick"

Epic, in fact


that chip leader is Duncan McLellan

No photo in my rush to report..so here is the nearest representation

Colclough/Liperis complete/check in the blinds

flop  

Khan  3,400

Sykes calls

turn  

Khan 6,000

Sykes 14,000

Khan a very long think

He asks Sykes how much he has left, and receives no answer

He asks again, more aggressively

The dealer tells him Sykes does not need to answer

After several minutes he 4 bets for 41,000 total

Before Sykes has a chance to act Khan puts his remaining stack over the line

The dealer tells him off

Khan does it again "It's my next bet anyway"

The dealer moves it back behind the line

Sykes 5 bet all in for 58,000 total

Khan calls with only shrapnel back

Sykes, fairly inevitably to a watcher..flopped set  

Khan overpair right?

Yes?

No

 

river  


Sykes moves to dispute the chip lead with over 100,000

Khan, if he thought long enough to do so, would wonder about the merits of top pair top kicker in 5 bet pots at 150-300
