Raising utg with J7 against the other big stack, and checking back top pair seems pretty classy play to me - mixing it up nicely. Warren on form to take it down I think.

Some chip counts for you:

Warren Jones: 550k
Sean Priest: 570k
Gavin Priestley: 590k


You will notice the name of Martin Foreman missing from that list. This is due to the following:

Martin shoves all in for 150k... with QT vs AQ of Warren.

9 A 6 T 9

and we lose Martin in 4th position for £705.



Martin Foreman

[MarkTheShark]

After a swift clock pause - we rejoin the action at the flop as Warren and Gavin resume hostilities....

The flop shows A3K - Warren checks, Gavin bets 62k, Warren raises to 155k, Gavin folds.

[MarkTheShark]

Warren Jones looks to be cruising to an astonishing second successive Home International Championship as he takes another chunk from Gavin Priestly....can Sean Priest be the one to topple the Jones juggernaut?

[MarkTheShark]

Seems not as another 140k pot slides Warren"s way....this time from the stack of Sean.

[MarkTheShark]

Blinds now up - 10000/20000/2000.

Matt Dale expertly calculates that is 36k in the middle pre flop.

[MarkTheShark]

Call the man the "Tsunami"....just an incessant flow of chips Warren Jones way - and theres little it seems that Gavin or Sean can do to prevent it. A stand must surely soon be taken. But who will take it?

[MarkTheShark]

Maybe the way is to avoid Warren altogether....

Gavin and Sean clash, as Sean raises to 50k to which Gavin calls.

Flop is A4T - Sean bets 45k, Gavin calls.

Turn is another A - Sean checks, Gavin all in.

Sean folds.
