Gary takes the points


Another great turn out for the Wednesday Poker Tourney seeing 3 full tables competing for the main prize of over $1000 for first!

The Barron returned to defend his win from last week but was knocked out in the early stages.  There were 5 prizes up for grabs this week with a total of 30 players. The 5 were Ray W, Danny W, Jason S, Sheldon E and Gary T.

It's getting late into the tourney and Danny goes all in pre flop. Danny short stacked is looking for someone to call and Sheldon does so. Danny has A K off, Sheldon A 6 suited. Flop comes, 3 5 2 turn 9, river an 8. Danny doubles his stack with A high K kicker.

Sheldon now short stacked shoves pre with A 10. Brave call by Jason with A 2. Community cards 9 9 3 4 10. Sheldon doubles up his stack with 2 pair.

Now we see Ray make a move, Gary still quietly folding away.
Ray has shoved with A 7 and a confident call by Sheldon with K Q. Flop is looking good for Ray, A 4 7. Turn 10 river 3. Ray takes this one with 2 pair. Still 5 in play and the stacks seem to be going back and forth.

Jason has a dabble and pushes all of his chips to the middle of the table. Sheldon can't help but call. Jason has pocket 10's and Sheldon Q 10. The flop is 2 Q 4 followed by 9 then another Q. Sheldon is happy to take the pot.

Some big action now as we see a 3 way all-in. Ray 7 3 diamonds, Danny K 8 off and Jason A 4 off..Flop J 10 3 hearts. Ray ahead with a small pair. Turn 5. Ray still ahead. Danny looking for a K and Jason has a gut shot or a flush draw. River 7 hearts. Ray has 2 pair, Danny K high and Jason takes this one with A high flush and knocks out Ray for 5th place.

Down to 4, Danny shoves A 7 off and an eventual call by Jason with pocket Js. J 2 8 on the flop. All spades. Danny has an A spade looking for that one more while Jason wants to pair the board.Turn 3 river 9. Jason takes this one with top set and sends Danny packing in forth.

One of the longest tournaments we've had and the last three decide to do a deal and play for the points and the famous photo. The chips are back and forth until Jason calls Sheldon's shove. This is all or nothing for Sheldon. Jason has pocket Ks and Sheldon A J. 2 4 2 6 5 gives Jason 2 pair.

Down to Jason and Gary now. For the points they both go all in blind. Jason has J 9 suited and Gary A 6. We see the flop now, 5 10 3. Gary ahead with A high. Turn 6, small pair for Gary. River K. Gary takes the win with a pair of 6s. Well done Gary and those for making it to the final table.
