Early
play was dominated by Jac Arama's aggressive style. He also managed to slow
play Aces to hit another two and have Dave Welch bet on the come of a flush
draw. He made his flush and lost a whole load of money. Good demonstration of
trouble cards although its unusual for him to attack a flop with Aces on
it. |
|
Dave
Welch now short stacked launched with an Ace-Four and got the same man calling,
Arama. King-Seven and a King on the River took the hand. |
|
Kate
got short stacked after her Ace-King didn't hit. A pocket pair of Queens got
two callers with random hands. Jan's Jack-Six made trips with the six and he
took more money in a side pot from Jac who tried to bluff a pot that couldn't
be bluffed. |
|
Third
to go was Joe Beevers playing two pair slowly and getting caught when giving a
free card on the river. Not realising that a draw was on he put his whole stack
in on the river with many possible better hands available. Adam Heller took the
pot. |
|
Jac
Arama lost a big all-in bet against Kong and then went all-in himself with
Ace-Nine against Heller's Queens. No Ace and he was gone. |
|
Alex
makes his stand with an Ace and gets beaten by a small flush draw made on the
end by Heller. |
|
The
heads-up dual decides who goes into the final.
Jan made an early
mistake when Heller raised with a poor King-Jack to Jan's Aces. His all-in
reply took Heller out of the pot cheaply. When the we got to the last two it
was a case of slow attrition with good hands from Heller and passing from Jan.
His last ditch play with a King-Deuce saw Heller calling with 4-5. He was in
lucky form throughout and here he hit an unbeatable straight on the flop.
Heller to the final. A raft of good hands made Heller unbeatable.
