#1 Hold'em Championship

Matt has around 600k, JJ has around 200k and Danny has the rest.

Danny raises pre flop. JJ folds and Matt re raises.
Danny pushes all in and Matt calls.
Danny -
Matt -

"Jack" Danny says, but the flop keeps the lead with Matt - and Danny is at risk.
"Jack" Danny calls, on the turn.
"Jack!" he shouts...



We are still 3 handed and the stacks go some way to evening out.

#2  8-Game

There has been a big hand just before the 8-Game players went on a break.

Adi won a lot of chips from Simon Taylor in Stud Hi with trip sixes, Simon having nut flush and straight draws, along with AA in the hole, but ending with only two pair AA55x.

Adi had won 40k just before that from Gianluca, and is now on 300k. Simon is down to 135k.

[MintTrav]

#2  8-Game

A very similar hand occurred on the other table at the same time, with Don"s 666xx beating Dann"s flush and straight draws.

Dann was chip-leader for a long stretch of this tournament, alternating with Dai, but is now down to about 200k, which is still a very healthy stack. Don is on about 250k.

#1 Hold'em Championship

Matt has the button and folds. Danny, in the small blind, calls and JJ checks.

The flop

Danny checks, JJ bets 25, Danny re raises to 60k and JJ has made the call before Danny"s chips are in the pot!

The on the turn sees Danny announce "all i..." and before he could finish his sentence, JJ responds with "call" and turns his for the flush.
Danny sighs and tables his for the set. He needs the last queen or the board to pair in order to win the hand...

and Danny loses around 240k but he is still in.

JJ increases his stack and now has a fair chip lead.

[MintTrav]

#2 8-Game

There"s just been a massive hand between Kevin and Dai in Stud. Kevin had KK behind and made two pair, but Dai had rolled-up sixes. By the end, there was 200k in the pot.

Dai is back up over 300k and Kevin has about 50k left.

[Luthee13]

#1 Hold'em Championship

Three hands later, Matt folds the button, Danny completes the small blind.

JJ pushes in enough 25k chips to cover Danny and he looks down at his stack and says "Let"s go then" and pushes his chips in.

The cards go over:
Danny -
JJ -
Danny is behind and at risk.

The board comes

No real sweat and we lose Danny in 3rd place.

He takes home £1015 and an APAT Bronze Medal. Well played, Danny.

#2 8-Game

And another huge hand, again won by Dai, this time in Stud Hi-Lo.

With a massive pot in the middle, Dai bet on seventh street and Alex folded. Dai showed just the low and is now up to 545k.

[MintTrav]

#2  8-Game

Jen has seen off Mark in Stud Hi-Lo and we are down to 11 players.

Jen is now on about 270k.

[MintTrav]

#2 8-Game

Kevin and Chris are very low now, about 50k each. Simon is also getting low, with about 150k.

[MintTrav]

#2  8-Game

Chris and Kevin both get their chips in, with differing outcomes.

First Chris gets in against Dai, and is eliminated in 11th place. Next hand, Kevin is all-in but gets a double-up from Alex.

We have 10 players left, one place off the ranking points.

[MintTrav]

#2  8-Game

And Dai has won yet another very big pot, this time against Alex.

With the board showing     , Alex folds and Dai shows   for the made straight and nut flush draw.

"Of course you have that - just give him the bracelet now", says Dann.

Dai is now up to 750k.
