McFadden Out

Brian McFadden
Brian McFadden
Brian McFadden is one of the higher-profile players here today, being well known in Australia as an ex-member of the pop band Westlife, but his time on the poker felt didn't last long as he has just succumbed to Gursel Ali.

McFadden was the preflop raiser with two callers seeing a {K-?}{8-?}{5-?} flop. McFadden made a continuation bet of 800 but Ali check-raised him to 3,000. McFadden and the third player both called.

The turn was the {2-Hearts} and Ali fired out 10,000 before McFadden moved all in. The third player stepped aside. Ali made the call and tabled pocket eights for a set as McFadden was drawing dead with {A-?}{K-?}.

The river bricked out and McFadden is an early casualty as Ali is up to nearly 40,000 chips.
