carnage on table Duke
He raises to 2,800 at 400-800
Pilf flat calls
Fran Creed flat calls
Martin Hanney bumps it up to 7,000 on the button
James Barber pushes for 20,975 in the big blind
The Duke sits back, moustache bristling in indignation "I was only trying to steal the blinds lads" he says
He calls all in
Pilf gives it an agonised dwell, and passes
Fran passes "a great drawing hand" (10-9-8-7 as it turns out)
Hanney pushes
So we have a 50,000 chip pot
Duke Q-8-7-6 (Double suited in clubs and diamonds!)
Hanney A-A-K-5 Suited in spades
Barber A-A-J-Q suited in clubs
board K-2-2-2-3
The Aces chop it, the Duke is out and I have handwriting cramp
