[IrishTom]

Welcome to the European Amateur Poker Championship here at Grosvenor Casino, Luton, where players are fighting it out for the title of European Champion, and the National Championship Gold, Silver and Bronze Medals, plus the added value of a trip to Las Vegas in June 2017 for the Champion.

[IrishTom]

Just started and Linda Iwaniak makes up her SB and sees a flop of 334, sitting with 35 she checks and gets a bet which she flat calls...

Ace on Turn she bets and calls a raise and Queen on River Linda bets again and her opponent gets it all in... Linda calls only to see them flip over 34 for the Flopped Full House...  and Linda is our first casualty of the weekend...

From #19 PLO 27/03/16
