GPS Nottingham Day 2

[claypole]

How many has JP got now mate?

[leethefish]

It was quite a fun time the last few minutes

when there is an all in and a call the cards stay down until all the other tables are clear

In response to a raise to 11,000 and a call Neil Strike made it 75,000

Tim Slater all in for 79,000

Strike call


Strike says to Tim that he has Kings

Tim tells strike he has Aces


We then wait 8 minutes 33 seconds for the flop to be dealt

I count, because I have time, 56 people around the table waiting for this hand. Players from other tables, railers, staff...the works

So its Aces against Kings


K  Roar from the crowd

Q

J

"Ten" cry the rail


10 on the turn with the most enormous roar from part of the room and the biggest "ffs" from another

river...

A


Enormous laughter from the rail , Slater slumps to the floor, Strike looks stunned


and we carry on, as the crowd disperses the dealer chops the pot

Watch out rest of field

I raised an eyebrow in JP's general direction and he told me, with a shy smile

"I just didn't feel like folding"

[TightEnd]

Tim Chung is out, 3 bet shoving Jacks over an open from Abbas Ladak with A-J who called and flopped an Ace

Nathan Davies is out. Micro stacked after losing with Queens he was all in with junk in the blinds and was up against Aces....which never had a sweat
