[snoopy1239]

Brian moved his shortstack all-in from the button for 1.5k.

After asking 'how much is it', the big blind glances at his cards, mulls it over, then lets Brian off the hook.

'I've only looked at one,' explains Brian.

he flips over the , then the to go with it.

That's five pocket rockets Brian's been ealt today.

Ben Grundy (milkybarkid) has shot up to 32k after making a cracking call.

An agressive player who has shown a few bluffs previous to this hand limps preflop. Ben raises with pocket jacks, Mateyboy calls.

Flop = 2-T-A

check, check

Turn = 6

Mateyboy checks, Ben bets 2k, Mateyboy raises to 5k, Ben calls.

River = T

Mateyboy bets a menacing 9k.

The call would leave Ben with just 2k, but he is able to push in the chips and take the pot down with his two hooks.

Mateyboy grimaces, shows K-J, and chucks his cards into the muck.

Jen here again -

Vicky Coren News Now -

Having steadily built chips today, she was just involved in a couple of dramatic hands, firstly losing then gaining a stack of yellows (1k).

So - on the first hand, it was a small vs big blind battle.  The small blind either limped or made a small raise (don't know which one) and she raised 1,000.  Call.

Flop: JD   check - check.
Turn:   He bets 2k, call.
River:    Matey moves all in and she eventually passes. 

THEN he flashed his hand to a mate of his and Andy Black saw it and insisted they all get a peek (fair's fair).  It turned out the guy had  ... Vicky kept her composure although she got involved in an 11k pot fairly shortly afterwards.  She came out on the right side of it though, betting 4k out of her remaining 7k or so on the river with the board:
 Ahrt5h5c9d

Her opponent this time went into the tank for at least a couple of minutes, but eventually she took it.  A little up, overall then.

Balloo/fugu/ c chops

Are you c chops?

If not, then I'm not sure I can call out c chops in the cardroom. Big TK will have me by the ear before I can say 'Love the tie'.

Do you have any names, descriptions, or pictures?

Balloo/fugu/c****chops

Are you c**** chops?

If not, then I'm not sure I can call out c chops in the cardroom. Big TK will have me by the ear before I can say 'Love the tie'.

Do you have any names, descriptions, or pictures?

My friends call me c****chops affectionately when my 84 double sooted rivers a straight versus their AA.


Rory Mathews, Ben Bard and Ian Girdwood are their names.
Mafews, B2Bullets and Tillerman online.

Im not sure is ben is playing. As for a description Rory is tall skinny dark hair big smile, ben is short and ginger and tillerman looks like a geek.

Cheers

More from Jen -

Peter Roche is out, having had a bit of a "small non-connected cards" day - and capping it off with getting it all in with on a 10 10 8 board, getting called by which rivered the Ace.  Has that resigned look which says, "that was a bummer."  I think he said his intention was to play online...
