Roller Coaster for Bradpiece
Jerome Bradpiece, who won the second ever GUKPT event back in 2007 for £121,600, has endured somewhat of a roller coaster ride during these opening levels.
His first loop-the-loop came prior to the break, his open with three-bet and Bradpiece making the call. Bradpiece check-raised a flop, before getting it all in on the turn, his opponent failing to improve with and doubling Bradpiece through.
Soon after, Bradpiece locked horns with Andriena Nutt, a name you could be hearing a lot of is she goes deep (you'll have to trust me on that). After calling a raise with (suited) in the big blind, (Nutt called on the button), Bradpiece check-raised a 200 lead to 700 and Nutt made the call. On the turn, he bet 1,100 before check-calling 1,600 on the river and being shown .
"I got lucky though to get it back," he replied, having returned to a 4,000 stack. "She [Nutt] raised to 125 on the button, the small blind called and I three-bet from the big blind. She called and the small blind folded. Check, check on the flop, then I bet 600 on the turn. She moved all in, I called, but she had . river."
Upon the conclusion of the tale, Bradpiece returned to his seat with a cheeky grin on his face, accompanied, I'm sure, with a huge sense of relief.
