Magill Hits the Rail... the Empire Rail
... but John Magill's exit occurred in the Fifty, the Irishman heading straight over to support fellow Irishman Brendan Walls here in Leicester Square.
"I had a good start," retold Magill. "Was up to 30k early on but when downhill when I flopped top pair with A-Q but paid off a set of kings that hit on the turn."
"On my last hand," he continued, "I raised it up from pocket tens and then bet the 7c-5-2c flop. This guy behind me re-raised and I pushed in. He called with 8-5 of clubs and hit both hands, a 5 on the turn then the flush on the river."
