In Response to Re: Sky Poker UKPC Day 3 updates : Alex Martin plays Richard Blacklock or Steve Warburton in the final of the Heads Up Likely to be played tomorrow Posted by SPT
Do you know how many matches each had to win to make the final? Are they all just 1 game or best of 3/5?

Comments
See yesterdays thread for details
Giiovanni Brandi, looking like a bearded Florentine Polar Bear with a bushy beard under a snow white hoodie, calls in the big blind with A-J
The flop is a beauty for Sevens, 6-5-8
2 on the turn
Jack on the river to knock Banks out 29th
I am standing next to Banks and I can almost feel the air exhaled from his body as the Jack falls. He's crestfallen
Brandi meanwhile, screams "Come on!" like an advert Italian commentator at the ceiling
Matas Cimbolas raises to 40,000
Giovanni Brandi 3 bet the button to 120,000
Cimbolas 4 bet uber-shove for 750,000
CALL
Cimbolas 4-4
Brandi A-K
Fours hold to send the 1.6m pot Cimbolas' way
Brandi, on this occasion, doesn't shout at the ceiling and he is now short-stacked
Cimbolas now has over 2m
He is a direct buy in, originally from Lithuania now living in London
Early 20s in age
blinds go 12-24k when we return
775,000 average
