Omaha, a game for Princes, and clowns

Graham Silo Codd raises UTG

Neil Sillick pushes next to act from a semi short stack

Stuart Hopkin calls all-in round the back

Silo calls

Three way all in pre-flop

I can scarcely write fast enough at the table

Graham has A-A-6-3

Neil Q-10-9-7

Clown 10-8-7-5, three diamonds

Board 2-6-5-5-Q

Neil is out, Hopkin trebles up and Silo merely sighs

[TightEnd]

Neil Blatchley had lost with a big pot with A-A-x-x versus William Wilson"s K-K-x-x

Then he found A-A-6-2 to eliminate Leigh Wiltshire with 7-8-9-10.

The whole table wanted Leigh's hand when they went on their backs pre, but Aces held

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
