UKCOAP Day 1 - Team Event/PLO

[Tiger-flash]

Good luck to Steve, Leon and John on the PLO final table, who was on my table of death at the start lol

[MarkTheShark]

First casualty of final table is Sean Belton.

Pot raises UTG, is re-potted by John Wood. Sean calls and has the advantage, his AA65 vs KK83.
However two 8"s come on the board. Sean cashes £110 for 9th.

8th place falls to Dave "Chucky" Burt.

His 10 10 9 J double suited did not have any help from the board when he ran it into Chris" AAxx. Dave cashes £125

[MarkTheShark]

did someone say Warren Jones cant be beaten???

Well..................

HE CANT!!!!!!!!!!!

Warren overturns a large chip deficit against Tod Wood to win his 2nd SNG of the night.

The man is simply unstoppable!

Match 7 sees a win for Kevin O"Hanlon, who beats Darren Underhill.

Just awaiting the outcome of Joe Carr-Hill and Gavin Jones to complete the Team Event for the night

[MarkTheShark]

We lose Asa is 7th.

All in pre-flop vs Leon. Asa has KK75 and Leon 33KA

Flop comes down 3 5 6 ... much to the eye rolling of Leon. Turn comes a Q and the river a 4 giving Leon the straight.

Asa takes home £139

[MarkTheShark]

6th place goes to Ben Burnhill

All in pre-flop vs Steve Redfern who can"t fold after a raise. Ben shows 8 10 Q A. Steve has 2 J K A.

Board comes 10 J 7 7 5 and the pair of Jacks is enough to see Steve scoop the pot

Ben takes home £160.

[MarkTheShark]

Another big pot slides it"s way over to chip lead Chris.

Lee, Chris and Leon see a flop after a raise


Chris bets and both call

and is checked round

River comes and Chris bets 23.5k. Leon goes into the tank but finds a fold but Lee calls.

Chris shows his set of aces and Lee mucks

[MarkTheShark]

Joe Carr-Hill sneaks past Gavin Jones and takes the win for England A

That completes Day 1 of the Team Event - all tables are updated ready for tomorrows play - England A leading the way, but its still very close.

[MarkTheShark]

very much the grind on the PLO FT - we remain 5 handed but all players are very well stacked, and with blinds still at 3k/6k, they have plenty of play in those stacks.

Most action is between Chris Webber and Leon Blackwell, who seem determined to 3 bet each other to death...seems likely they will clash soon....

[MarkTheShark]

Monster pot!

Steve vs Chris all in on a flop of



Steve shows and Chris shows kd

Turn comes but a river is the giving Steve his flush.

Chip lead Chris has his stack destroyed as 114.5k makes it"s way to Steve

[MarkTheShark]

Man down in the PLO....

and it is Lee Strange who exits in 5th place.

Steve Redfern raises from first position and Lee makes the call from the BB.

Flop comes 52Q - Lee checks, Steve bets, Lee goes all in - Steve calls, showing KQJ4 for top pair, but miles behind Lee"s set of ducks - holding 8822.

But the turn is a T and the river a 9, giving Steve the straight and sending Lee to the rail in 5th place.

Steve massive chip leader now.



Lee Strange

[MarkTheShark]

Chris and Leon do clash as the chips fly in - it looks grim for Chris as his 6899 falls well behind the ATT2 of Leon with the flop showing A4A....a Jack on the turn means Chris is dead to a 9....but it duly arrives and he doubles through.

[MarkTheShark]

Leon Blackwell down in 4th - and its that man Steve Redfern again - all the chips go in preflop with Leon tabling 53TA to Steves KKQT - 8T9J6 giving Steve the straight and meaning Leon goes in 4th place



Leon Blackwell

[MarkTheShark]

Chris Webber down in the 3rd place - the chips go in on a flop of 273 - Chris holding 9922 - but its that man again Steve Redfern who seems will not be denied - holding JJ67 a Jack arrives with stunning timing - a 3 on the river irrelevant to send Chris out.

So its Steve Redfern v John Wood heads up for the PLO Championship.

John immediately doubles through to bring a little parity to the stacks.



Chris Webber

[MarkTheShark]

After going into heads up massive lead, the tables have turned against Steve and now it is John with the mountain of chips.

A fairly unassuming pot formed, the flop and turn came down

John bets 20K and Steve calls. River comes . John opens the betting at 40k but we end up with both players all in and John showing down a full house with 772A and Steve 4358.
