Dizzy With Action

It's all in the cards
It's all in the cards
Just before the break there was a flurry of action at two tables either side of me.

I reached one table to see Jeff Kimber shaking his head. He was just passing a bunch of chips over to Nikolay Evdakov after his {K-Spades} {K-Hearts} was cracked by Evdakov's {A-Spades} {J-Spades} on the {A-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {A-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {9-Clubs} board. That left Kimber on 24,700.

Then I turned to see Jacques Zaicik getting up from his seat after his {A-?} {10-?} was crushed by Goran Gratte's {A-?} {K-?} on a board containing and ace and a king.

I then turn to find the Russian, Nikolay Evdakov, in the mix again reraising a Antony Lellouche's raise all in. Lellouche made the call with {J-Spades} {J-Diamonds} and was racing Evdakov's {A-Clubs} {K-Spades}. The board came nine-high, enabling Lellouche's stack to grow to 37,000. Evdakov's on 13,000 after the double-up-double-down.

And breathe....
