Thursday Turbo Thriller!
Nice wee $10 Thursday Turbo tonight, with 24 players total.
Top 4 for the night were Jesse R, Sammy C, Alex R and Will S.
Will under the gun decides to shove all in with 36 to be called by Sammy who has AK. The flop comes out J-J-K. Very strong start for Sammy. Turn is a 2, Will is dead at this point but the river is another K just to rub it in deeper. Sammy takes out Will with a full house, K's over J's.
A few minutes later Sammy raises it pre-flop to 27K, around 4-5 BB and Jesse goes all in. Jesse is holding A4 and Sammy has KJ. The flop delivers K-Q-9, giving Sammy the lead. Turn is a T, this puts Sammy way ahead with a straight, Jesse needs a J for the nut straight.... But not so lucky, 9 on the river. Sammy takes another one out with a straight, K to 9. Jesse out on 3rd.
The final 2 switch chips back and forwards for a few hands before the killing hand. Alex goes all in with AQ and Sammy calls with A7. On the flop we get 2-9-A. Both hit but not the way Sammy wants. J on the turn and T on the river.Alex knocks Sammy out with a pair of A's, Q kicker. Well done Alex and thanks every one else!
