Laurence of Failure

Laurence Houghton
Laurence Houghton

Laurence Houghton has failed in his mission to capture bracelet gold in this event, although he was rather unlucky to tell the truth.

James Dempsey, who I expect has been opening rather wide, raised preflop to 325, only for Houghton to look down at {A-}{K-} and jam for around 3,500.

Unfortunately for the Mancunian online whiz, the big blind had {A-}{A-}.

No improvement and Houghton was gone.
