O'Rourke Wins Another

When we came to Liam O'Rourke's table there was a board showing {10-Spades}{7-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and O'Rourke was first to act on the turn in front of one opponent. O'Rourke led for 27,000 and his opponent made a quick call.

River: {k-Diamonds}

On the river, O'Rourke check-called a bet of 30,000 from his opponent. O'Rourke tabled his {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}, enough to send the {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds} of his opponent into the muck.

Smith Crushing

Alec Smith has been sitting behind one of the largest stacks in the room for the last level or so and that has continued late into the final level of the night. A recent hand saw Smith hit a big flush holding {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and he now has close to 700,000.

Close To The Million

The first player to near a million chips is Nicholas Heather. It is now looking very likely that Heather will end up as the chip leader. The biggest hand for Heather occurred when he and another player rumbled for a 600,000-chip pot with Heather holding {j-}{j-} against the {a-}{k-} of an opponent. The jacks held up and Heather surged up the chip counts.

Another One Down

Daniel Ibrahim was looking good to double up when he was all in holding {10-}{10-} against {k-}{k-} and a {4-}{10-}{3-} flop had been spread. Unfortunately poker is a cruel mistress and when the {k-} hit the turn, it was all but over. A bricked river and it was officially over for Ibrahim.

Elliot Out; Collopy Up

Shaun Elliot opened the action with a shove for around 80,000 in chips. Mishel Anunu then made the call on his left and it was sent around to Jim Collopy on the button who re-jammed. Anunu sent his cards into the muck and it was a tournament life on the line.

Collopy: {a-}{a-}
Elliot: {k-}{k-}

An unlucky situation for Elliot that wouldn't get any luckier as the board ran out {j-Spades}{9-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}.
