BCPC SEASON 4, WEEK 1
« on: May 08, 2010, 18:34:08 PM »
Our 4th season got underway last night with 25 players, including 3 newcomers and 2 players who missed last season returning to the fold.


 Ant Williams became the first casualty of the season to get his name on the "Shirt Of Shame" and he was quickly followed by Season 3 Champion Nathan Harris and the returning Darren Hooper.


 Down to 2 tables and Joey Williams shoved over the top of Brian Yates" pre-flop raise with    kd    kc.   Brian reluctantly called with    ac    9c   and Joey looked safe on a blank board until the    ad   dropped on the river to eliminate Joey in 19th. 

Out in 18th went Richard Davies before we then saw the first monster hand of the night. Short-stack Paul Foy shoved with    kc    qd  and got called by    qc    qs   and newcomer Mick Bacciocchi also called with    ac     jh   and got very lucky when a flopped ace gave him a monster pot.

 Mick"s Son Adam was then eliminated by Matt McKinlay who was now accumulating chips and becoming very active and it wasn"t long before we were down to the Final Table.

 This was possibly the toughest FT we have ever seen at the BCPC with the participants boasting 11 APAT medals and 5 Titles between them and it took a while before anyone was eliminated. Maxine McKinlay was the short-stack and shoved all-in and Matt called behind, only for Andy Overton to shove over the top. Matt had the odds to call and did so with his    7h    8c   and Max was in good shape there with her    8d    9s   ......but neither was looking good against

Andy with his    ks    kh    and Brian announced that he had passed    kd    7c  

The flop though was an incredible    8h    8s    tc   leavind an incredulous Andy with ONE out.  The turn was      5s   and    td   on the river pleased Matt as he then split the pot. Andy exited stage left !!

Rob Hewlitt was now short and his shove with    6h    7h   got no help against Marcel Furet"s    ac    kh   and Rob left in 9th while Maxine left in 8th when her    ac    8c   was no match for Steve Redfern with    :3d:    :3h:   on a board of      ks    qh    qd    th    7s.


An UTG raise by Marcel got called by Matt and when the flop came    7h    :2d:    tc   Marcel shoved with    ac    6d   and Matt insta-called with his slow-played    js     jh   and Marcel was gone in 7th.

Brian was now short-stack and shoved blind and Matt called and showed    ac    js   and Brian sheepishly turned over    jc     4c.   The flop changed everything   :3c:    4h    7c   and the turn of  7h    4d   sealed Brian"s double-up and he followed that by shoving over Matt's raise and causing him to fold on the very next hand.

Tod Wood and Brian then went to war, Tod pushing with    tc    qh    and Brian making the call with    ad    js. The flop hit both players    :as:    qs    :3d:   but the  ac   on the turn sealed Tod"s exit and suddenly Brian was well chipped-up.

Matt though, after earlier passing  th    ts   to a Will Young shove, got it in with    tc    7h   on a     td    5s    8h   board but Steve Redfern held    jh    js   and while the     9s  turn gave Matt the straight draw, he hit it with the    7c   and that gave Steve the BIGGER straight to decimate Matt's stack.

What happened next though was just sick as..........well......you know !!
Matt shoves with    kc    jd   and Will calls with a similar    ks    jc. Surely a split, especially when Brian announced a pass of    kh    7s and Steve    jh    7d   ??

Well the flop came    8c    8s    9s   followed by a turn of    :2s:   and yes, there it was,    :3s:   on the river. You just had to feel for Matt and for once he was almost speechless !!  He was gone next hand When Will finished him off with A-Q against A-2 to finish in 5th spot.

Steve then made a raise with    ah    4h   and felt he had to call when Brian shoved with    jd    js   .The flop looked good for Steve    qh    5h    qd   and the turn    ad1    left Brian with 1 out which didn"t come.

That meant that either Will, Steve or Malcolm Howell would join Marcel as the only 3-time BCPC winners and when Malc went out in 3rd, Stevel had a decent chip-lead. That changed when it all went in on a    7d    kd    th   flop with Will holding    qd    6d   for the flush draw while Steve"s    9h    8s   gave him the up-and-down straight draw. Steve hit his draw with the    6c   on the turn but the    jd   on the river put Will well ahead and soon after it was all over.

The flop of    5h    ah    jh   hit both Will with his    ks    qs   and Steve"s    td    8h 8h   and the    7c   gave Steve extra outs but the     ad1   meant that they had both missed and so Will"s King sealed the win and stopped Steve from becoming the first player to win back-to-back BCPC games.
