Roland 2, Tony 0

Well, we didn't have to wait long for these raging bulls of poker to lock horns again, the banter harder to control than a kangaroo on a trampoline.

Again it was Roland getting the better of Tony, doubling up with {J-Hearts} {6-Hearts} vs. the Aussie's {J-Diamonds} {9-Hearts}.

I didn't quite catch the action, but when I joined, cards were on their backs with the board reading {A-Clubs} {J-Spades} {6-Spades} {2-Clubs}.

Oh yeah, and there was the small matter of Roland announcing "Call BMX, it's bike time soon!"

With a blank hitting the river, Tony's formerly chunky stack was depleted to less than 10k as the circa 24k pot went sailing over to a jubilant Roland.

Not one to miss a needling opportunity when it comes to his nemesis, Roland added, "I'm going to take everything you have"... to the amusement of the table.

I have an eerie feeling tingling down the back of my spine that revenge will be mighty sweet for Mr. G who appears to have momentarily left the table to cool down.
