Two recent hands related from Mr John Murray.

John raises with . Both blinds call. Flop . Check Check. John bets 600 and both call. Turn - the perfect card for John. Check, check, John bets 1200. Both call again.

River to complete the straight. Check, check again. John Hollywoods, then makes it 3k. Small blind goes all-in for 7.5k. Big blind folds, and John insta-calls. His opponent mucks. John scoops and hits the 27k chip mark.

Shortly after, John flops an 8 T J board with 7 9 in his hand, leading out 3 streets including the Queen turn and Heart river, but getting called down by AK for the straight. Denting his stack by 6k.

Kevin O"Hanlon out of the main.

The damage occured in a few key hands.

on a beautiful flop Flop - giving an open ender straight flush hand, but losing a total of 7k by calling turn and river bets when it didn"t improve. Karen Mead"s Quad Queens plenty enough to take the pot there!

He then unluckily ran Kings into Aces, and the last 13k were lost in a bluff gone wrong against Paul McGuinness.

[MarkTheShark]

tournament is flowing along smoothly as we break down to 9 tables - recently eliminated players include GiMac, who after crushing the Team Event MTT of 40 players on Friday night, couldnt maintain that rich vein of form as he busts out the PLO8 and the second flight of the Main Event both in midfield

[MarkTheShark]

Jonathan Rees had been causing chaos earlier in the week at the tables when his beer intake affected his table/trash talking....today his chips and play is causing all the chaos as he wins a selection of pots and suddenly has towers of chips in front of him rather than stacks.....

[MarkTheShark]

Mark "Batboy" Porter has enjoyed little luck all week and sadly for the well liked and respected member, today only served to extend that non wanted streak.

Mark had started the tournament well, getting to 30k in the early stages, but thats as good as it got for Mark, as first his AQ got done over by AJ, then a shove with AJ was called by A6.....happy days....until the flop brings not just one, but 2 sixes to clip Batboys wings and send him crashing to the rail....



Batboy in flight

[MarkTheShark]

John Murray down

Taken out by Steve Redfern

JJ v A9...a fairly decisive flop of 77J spelling the end for John
