Day 2 UK (Newcastle) Live Updates 29 Nov 15

[IrishTom]

A huge chip movement from Ryan Kilbey to Mac Hedley when on a Flop of Mac in the SB pushes on a flush draw holding to be called by Ryan holding ...  Turn seals it for Mac and after a count he had 582k.... but Ryan survives.

Next hand Ryan ships for 280k with and is called by Andy with ... Flop gives much hope but with Turn and River we lose Ryan in 4th position, on the National Championship Medal Bubble, but earning a payday of £1050.

Similar chip stacks:

Mac raises to 60k pre and Andy calls... and Andy bets 30k and takes the pot

Next hand on a Board Andy checks, Mac makes it 60k and Andy calls...

Turn and Andy checks and Mac announces All In and immediatley Andy says "call"...

Mac tables for Top Pair only to see Andy"s for two pair and a River doesn"t help Mac...

After a count Andy has 1m 32k and Mac has 1m 31k.... 1k behind...


Surprisingly! next hand Mac is all in for 1k.... and has a nice hand with .... Andy holds

Thanks to the venue here at Aspers, Newcastle, and again, finally, well done to our UK Amateur Poker Champion, Andy Dodson
