#1 HOLDEM CHAMPIONSHIPFollowing some issues with internet and technology in general...I have updates
I have spent the last hour or so at the table of Ian Thompson in the WCOAP #1 Hold'em Championship.
Not an awful lot to report, some very smooth poker, nothing too rash but a few hands of interest:
Hand 1With blinds at 75/150, there are 2 callers from seats 5 and 9, Ian completes the small blind and the big blind checks.
First three cards are
All four check and the turn is
Ian checks, the big blind bets 425 and gets 2 callers, Ian gets out of the way.
The river is
and the big blind checks. There is a bet of 1000 from seat 5 which is quickly called by seat 9 and the big blind sigh folds.
Seat 5 shows As
for the straight and seat 9 shows
for two pair. Seat 5 taking a nice pot.
Hand 2Blinds are now at 200/400 with a running ante of 50 and Ian is in the big blind. There is a raise from Seat 6 to 1200. The small blind calls and Ian takes a peak and seems happy, he calls.
The dealer puts out
on the flop.
The small blind checks and Ian bets 1600. Seat 6 calls, as does the small blind.
The
turn got a check from the small blind and saw Ian move all in for around 5k.
Both players fairly swiftly fold and Ian shows KsQs and takes the pot.
More to follow asap now I appear to have appeased the technology gods...
