    I arrived to see Ben & Villain dwelling up on  this Board. (Not sure what order the cards fell). Villain has Position.

    A-K-5-T-6, no flush.

    There is about 3k in the middle by now, & Villain is facing a 2k River Bet from Ben.

    Villain now makes it 4k.

    Ben clearly hates this Bet, but it's tough to Pass for 2k into that Pot.

    He agonises, he hates it, he wants to Pass, but he has to Call, & he does.

    Villain shows 5-5, for a set of 5's.

    Ben shows A-T, for 2 Pair.

    Tough spot that.

    It's shaken him a bit, but with 24k behind, he has no need to fret.

    Test of character for a young man, though.

    I dont think hes done anything wrong and, as you say very difficult to pass for that amount.

    I agree, he bet out cos he thought he was ahead, and a min reraise on the river is hard to pass to with that much in the pot.

    If he check called he might lose less, but he has to bet if he thinks he is ahead and why shouldnt he...

    Great, come on Ben,
    A quick question Tony ,
    Is it fair for the guys in the last two day 1s to have to play the extra level?

    Hi Col,

    Swings in roundabouts really as they will only play 4 levels on Day 2B, whereas Will plays 5 levels on Day 2A....

    Ok thanks Adam,
    I was thinking of the mental perspective, having to last for another 2 hours to get to day 2, imo, means you have to re evaluate the amount of chips needed to get through.

    Yeah I think being your 1st day you'd probably prefer just the 4 levels, Will was a little tired after yesterday, unless you start hitting cards coming to the end of the session where you might just want to carry on!

    Interestingly it was supposed to be 5 levels per day from the start, Harrah's changed it for 1A and 1B at the last minute.

    Right we are  approaching the 1st break so i am on my way back to the cardroom to get an update from our boys....

    I'm not really keen on it Colin, but in the grand scheme of things, it's no big deal, & there are worse things to worry about.

    If I were playing I'd not complain, though I suppose it's a bit of a niggle.
