Battle of Britain
John Eames and fellow Brit, Chris Brammer have just clashed in what will likely be the first of many confrontations today, though Eames came off best from this particular one.
Joining the hand on a 
flop, 2010 EPT Tallinn winner Kevin Stani checked, Brammer checked, Eames bet 500, which folded out Stani but Brammer made the call. The 
was the turn card and once again Stani checked but this time Brammer bet 1,600 and Eames, who is currently being thoroughly massaged, raised to 4,100. This was enough to instantly fold out Stani but Brammer made the call, albeit after pondering what to do for 30 seconds.
The river was the 
and now Brammer tapped the table and checked. Eames sat as still as one can whilst having their back, shoulders and neck kneaded, before betting 3,500. Brammer did not seem happy about his at all and sat riffling a couple of stacks of green chips for close to two minutes, before eventually folding. His face looks exactly how you would expect a man who thinks he has just folded the best hand might look!
First blood to Eames.
