| In early play
Barney played like a pro when trying to trap Harwood with his straight only to
see the board pair. A flat call left him with enough to continue. A little
later Colcough showed how not to slow play a pair of Queens to the river and
lose. |
 |
| Luma
was first to go without much of a shout. After a few lost chips he decided to
go all in with 10-10 only to find Jack-Jack. |
|
| Tino
was unlucky when playing King-Jack and seeing a King high flop. Barney bet him
all-in with his King-Nine and hit one of his three card draw on the turn (4th)
card. |
|
| Colcough made
another strange play when calling "The Rock" with Ace-Jack for a sizeable
raise. The flop was nothing and he passed a bet on the river (5th)
card. |
| Thompson short stacked and took a leap at it with Ace-Seven
and found Ace-Queen. He was third out. |
|
| Colcough saw his slow played Kings trip-up on the flop and
Plant bet into him with a flush draw that didn't come. Plant fourth
out. |
|
| Harwood
got into a difficult position when opening up for a £1,000 with his
pocket Queens and found a re-raise. He was forced to call for the odds and saw
Aces which he could not beat. |
|
The
heads-up dual decides who goes into the final.
Colcough played two
inexplicable hands. He called a re-raise with 5-6 against Barney's Ace-Queen
and saw a 4-4-7 flop. Barney bets and he passed the opportunity to take him out
with the draw. Then he made a desperate bluff with nothing on a flop with two
Jacks. Finally after giving away much of his stack he found a good hand, A-K,
but didn't have enough to put Barney out of the pot and his J-10 picked the
finalist spot. Colcough to the semi-final
Barney looked the best
player. |
