Dave Thompson (aka: SolarCarro) who has had a tremendous tournament goes out in 7th place
Had 78 on the small blind and was more or less forced to push an unopened pot.
Billy Wallace who was on the big blind had AA
Dave doesnt get the outdraw and finishes in 7th place and wins £250!.
I think everyone will agree that is some performance on Dave's part and to every member of Team Sky Poker, your an absolute credit to the community and everyone of you should be proud of how you played win or lose!!!........
Right now i'm off to lie down in a very dark room and i'm glad to have been of some help in keeping the community updated (without breaking house rules) of how the tourney was going on!
Where is all that beer i ain't drunk from Christmas?! :)
WP Dave, top man, shame you won't be at Luton, but Vegas just beats that I guess.
Managed a meagre 70thish, my pushes weren't getting called until JJ was called by JA. I'd tell you what happened, but I think Barry Greenstein has the rights to that locked up. Let's just say live poker is fixed!
Had an interesting hand in the first level about 20mins in.
Blinds 25/50, no real info on anyone, chips circulating around the table, everyone on between 8-12K Pocket 10s in the cut-off, two limpers before me...
Can't limp with 3 others in the pot, so up to 225 I raise it. Blinds fold and limpers call (750 in pot) Flop: 10, 8, 8 rainbow
Not a bad flop, just need to work out how get paid off. The limpers both check, as I do I let someone catch up.
Turn: K (flush draw now on board) Probably a good card for me, again the limpers check. Could check, but a little 300 raise will keep anyone who has hit in the pot and if no-one has hit, well I'm not going to get paid off anyway. Limper 1 folds, limper 2 re-raises to 700. Fantastic, a customer, I'll flat him now and bleed him dry on the river... (2150 in pot)
River: ? A small non-flush card. Limper asks if I have AK. I look impassive (or constipated, it's a fine line with my poker face) Limper leads out 1300.
Now you're all wondering how much I popped it up to...?
But the AK question stuck in my mind. Made me think that he wanted me to have AK, so he could beat KK88A, chances of him having KK with one out and him putting me on AK seemed far fetched. Him having a ten wouldn't beat AK. He must have a 8 and have a set.
But what sort of 8 would he limp with pre-flop and call a raise with... Not A8, the only thing he can possibly have is 88.
No... I flopped a FH and he flopped quads... Can't possibly be...
Every little inch of my Spideysenses are tingling at this point. I can't fold though, so I pay him off the 1300.
Yup. Flopped FH loses to flopped Quads. Incredible.
Bizarrely it didn't tilt me, gave me a boost that my reads were on.
