The Barron and his K9

 
Grueling Wednesday Classic this week, with the short stacks swapping back and forward a lot just before bubble.

Top 4 for this week were Brendan Ng, Ryan H, Peter Ba and Andrew A.

First out was Ryan, who ships it with A,8 off and gets called by Brendan with A,10 suited. Board comes 4,7,7,which didn't help Ryan. Turn comes a 3, making it look rather grim. 9 on the river moves Brendan to Top 3 and Ryan heading home.

Up next Brendan shoves pre-flop with A,5 off to get called by Andrew with Q,J off. 3,3,9 on the flop gives neither in a firm lead. 10 on the turn giving Andrew a chance for a straight. River comes another 10... Andrew unfortunately loses this one and is out at 3rd place.

Heads up between Brendan and Peter now. Peter goes all in with pocket 9's. Brendan calls very aggressively with pocket 6's. 9's hold and Brendan loses 90% of his stack, The 6's didn't work so well this week.

Brendan later on with a much shorter stack pushes pre-flop with Q,6 to be called by Peter's K,9 off. The board comes A,K,10, Giving Peter the lead, Still, a gut-shot could hit for Brendan. On the turn we get a Q. This gives Brendan another out, but the river comes a 7. Peter wins the Wednesday Classic with "The Mutt" Well done Peter!!
