So all being well, BruceB75, markycash, ppgtony, gooner47 & DeeJBluff have been added to the 17 who had previously won this package.
Congrats to them all.
A quick word about chicknmelt, who played a short stack beautifully from start to finish, only to package bubble in a hand that swung-swong remarkably.
With sub 10 Bigs, he got it in with 10-10, & ran into the chippy who had Ad-Kd.
Melty was 54% to win this £3,000 flip.
The flop was all low, raggy taggy, but with 2 diamonds. Bruce now went 55% jolly.
The turn was a corker - the 10 of diamonds, so Melty now had a set, & Brucey had the nut flush.
We all held our breath as we waited for the river, with Melty just a 23% rag to hit his pair up.
It bricked, & that was that.
Such is poker.
A word on BigRob80, too, who finished 8th after he got it in with a dominated A v the very efficient PLO8 hotpot markycash. He had 12 outs on the turn having picked up a flush draw, but it was not to be, & he was understandably disappointed.
Poker works in funny ways sometimes though - BigRob is in tonight's £10k Vegas Semi, so maybe he'll run a little better tonight.
Incidentally, tonight's £10k Sami guarantees 4 seats to the Big Final at the end of May, & currently has just 11 runners, so good luck to these 11, & all those who join them via today's Satellites:
