Nothing much happening, it’s just jam-fold stuff, but one mistake & it’s all over baby.
Suddenly, gadger & solack get it all-in pre, & there’s just one spot between the 2 hands with A-9 v A-8. This will be painful for A-8 man who is a mere 23% to win, but the board runs out K-J-4-10-10. Choppity chop.
Suddenly, with 4 left, THREE of the stacks are in the middle. rubster96has the Jacks (“I hate jacks”), whilst solack & gadger both need to improve with their 10-10 & 2-2. InsWinHere was doubtless watching this with interest, hoping that rubster would do the SCOOPIO.
2-2 stood a chance with an all low flop & turn, but a paired 4 means they all have 2 pairs, with rubster’s Jacks taking two birds with one stone, & rocketing to a heads up chip lead v InsWinhere.
gadgerno1 takes home £1,122, & Basingstoke’s finest, solack, pockets £1,530.
Moments later in a south coast duel (Southsea v Bognor) all the chips are in the middle as InsWinHere hits his A with A-3, but rubster96 catches 2 pair with the Q-7.
The final hand went down at 0143, compared to 0126 last week when it had 40% more runners, make of that what you will.
Very well played to Bognor's finest, rubster96, who was short stacked for a very long time, but bided his time & eventually found the cards. This was his biggest win by a long long way, & he’ll have a precipitous Sharky graph this morning.
Great tourney, not a bit of bad blood, a real credit to the players, & to Sky Poker.
12.03am BIG Hand Alert At this point, quite an eye opening hand went down, when DAVEMCDAID (9-9) & mattprawn (A-K) got their entire stacks in the middle for the classic flip. mattprawn got instant service & flopped his K, only to see DACEMCDAID also flop his 2 outer 9 to forge ahead & be close to a lock. But wait, 3 diamonds on the flop, & another on the turn. Does either of the players have a diamond? NEITHER of them, so while mattprawn is praying GIVE ME A DIAMOND, opponent DAVEMCDAID is thinking PAIR THE BOARD, or NO DIAMOND And the river was……a non-pairing diamond, for an all diamond board. Chop chop. Worth noting that after that flop, mattprawn had just a 1.6% chance of winning the hand, but he did a spectacular get. Posted by Tikay10
Great write up Tikay, thank you.
Took a bit of run good to make the FT, the boys last night were super aggressive, was a scary place at times. To add to my fortunate chop you describe above, I had also used up another of my 9 lives in an earlier hand against Mr acd28.
Holding QJ on a QxJ flop I shoved and was snap called by acd28, who had me covered. Showing a set of jacks, I was half way upstairs for an early night, when the Q hit the river for my house. Sometimes an "ul" in the chat box feels a bit inadequate...
Good stuff Matt, & I'm sure you know that some of my comments were a little tongue in cheek, to help make so many otherwise boring stats readable.
Accountants are not really dull & methodical at all, of course. Much.
And if I stick my elbow in someone's ribs, it's because I consider them a mate. I never speak ill of those I am less favourably inclined to, but mates are fair sport. Hence dear old Solly got a bit of it, too, God bless him. He outrageously busted me with K-J about 9 years ago somewhere - Leeds I seem to recall, in an SPT. Not that I harbour a grudge or anything, no no.

Hi Tikay,
I have no problem with the occasional elbow in the ribs, I have plenty of padding in that area (metaphorically and literally).
I suppose we could debate where accountants and train fanciers relatively sit in the dull spectrum, but let's leave that for another time...

Same time, same place next week. Be there.

PS - well done, was great to see a station do so well.
