Tonights game gave Tony Trippier and Brian Yates the chance to pass the holidaying Will Young at the top of the Premier League but despite getting K-K twice early on, Tony had lost half of his stack just 45 minutes into the game.
By the first break he was up to 2000 but still 9th of 9 with Steve Bayliff making the running as he tried for his 2nd straight win...while at a Barbeque !!
Our first casualty came when there were 4 players in the pot and the flop came down
and Tony in the SB bet out and just Paul Foy called. The turn of qc saw all the money go in and Tony"s
held on the
river against Paul"s th kh to give Paul his 3rd Duck-Egg in 4 games.
Steve Redfern had lost a chunky pot with kh kd when Andy Overton flopped an Ace, so when Aneurin Venables raised him, Steve shoved all-in with ac qh but Aneurin was ahead with his ah ks .....until the flop came down
qc jc
. But it all changed on the turn as the tc gave Aneurin the nut straight but Steve had re-draws to both split and win the pot outright but the
on the river sealed his fate to leave him pointless tonight.
The 7th place is the "Points-Bubble" and tonight, for the first time, Brian Yates failed to trouble the scorers as he ran
jh jd into Andy Overton"s ks kh .
We then lost 2 players in 2 hands and the first one was an unbelievable cooler for Tony Trippier. On a flop of
Tony, holding
was delighted when Tod Wood raised his bet and Tony insta-shoved.....only for Tod to flip
and the
turn and
river just seemed to rub it in !!
The next one was unfortunate as Rob Hewlitt ran
into Scouse Bayliff"s ad ah .....a sign of things to come for the England Skipper maybe ??
4-handed and the top two players from the last game looked as if they may be repeating their Heads-Up battle from Sunday night but Scouse got short and when he pushed with qc
Aneurin called with qd jc and the jh on the flop saw Scouse out in 4th and out of the top 4 in the standings.
Unfortunately, Aneurin then lost connection and missed another monster hand. A flop of :
: :
: :as: saw both Tod and Andy betting. The turn of qs saw bet-call but the river tc saw Andy shove and show js kc to outdraw Tod"s flopped straight with
.
Soon afterwards Tod shoved with ks jh and Andy called with ac kc and the
jd :as: ts
saw Tod out in 3rd for 7 points.
We then saw a very sporting gesture from Andy as he sat out to wait for Aneurin to reconnect. He still had a 3-1 chip-lead ......and then we found out.......Aneurin had fell asleep !!
Cue Andy " I would have raped you good and proper had I known that".....which prompted the chat-box comment of "That"s what he told the sheep !"
The final hand saw Aneurin make an ill-timed shove with
and Andy made an easy call with ad jc and although a flop of :
:
gave hope to the Welshman, the jh and kh sealed a first Premier League win for Andy Overton to propel him into the top 4.
