..., Shola raises UTG and Paul Day calls in the big blind

Day check calls on flop and turn of  and they both check the draw completing river

Neither player wants to show. Eventually the TD asks Day to show, and he does 


Rastafish "That's never good man, never"

and Shola flips 


Rastafish "I killed it" and goes back to Sky Sports News on his Ipad

Why is this ever necessary?

drives me bonkers.

And even more when there has been an all in and a call pre flop sometimes yesterday it would take 30 seconds to show in one case the guy had aces as well. in this spot someone decalre they have a pair and then if they both declare one pair shola knows she has won. Otherwise if theres a bet and a call on the river the guy who has bet should show? this is my understanding on the rule. Unless he wants to muck and then he should hurry up and muck

Vaidas Sirunias raises on the button

Ray Mackintosh 3 bets the small blind

This is at 100-200

Vaidas 4 bets

Ray, playing a full stack, decides to 5 bet shove A-Q

and runs into A-A

and is out second of the 95 runners today

Frankie, in the big blind is rather ecstatic at this turn of events for he had A-Q in the big blind, he tells the table, and has escapred the melee for nothing more than the cost of that big blind

I'm here today cheering on my mate who's playing the tourney, I'm not so fortunate though so I'm gonna be sat around for a few hours until a cash game gets running probably, so if you need a hand with anything updates wise give me a shout, I'm the short guy in the big black coat wandering around with no purpose haha
