Peter Gould with the Cowboys

Seconds before the current Dinner Break started, yet another confrontation between now much-shorter-stacked Peter Gould (on the small blind) and now-much-larger-stacked Jason Ho on the button turned into an on their backs affair: Jason Ho must have raised on the button when it passed to his {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{2-Spades}

, and Peter Gould shoved his whole stack over the line. Call. He flipped {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{K-Hearts}

, all six players stood up and leaned over the table in expectation and..
"Break! Half an hour for dinner, guys!" cheerfully announced a producer, to be met with unmoving amusement from the finalists. The board was allowed to be dealt out and emerged as follows: {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{K-Diamonds}

{10-Clubs}

, smacking Peter's already top hand pretty hard. As the {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

came on the turn, the river became an irrelevance, the {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

just generating a few wry poker smiles as they headed off to dinner.

Back in 30 mins.
