There were 21 players tonight playing for a share of the $2k prize pool. There were 4 prizes up for grabs and those fortunate enough to be in the top 4 were Will S, Alex M, Greg S and Ray W.
First to go was Will. He was up against Ray. Will has J 10 Ray has K Q. The flop was very favourable for Ray being 6 Q Q. Turn 9 and river 4. The face of poker last week is no more.
1 down, 2 to go were the winners thoughts. Greg's turn to try something on going all in with A 8. Alex eventually calls exposing his A 9. Close to call this one. Dealer flops out 8 7 2.....7..6. Wow nice move there by Greg to double his stack.
Alex wants some of his stack back but this time he's looking at Ray. Alex is all in. Ray must call with A Q. Why not when you're up against Alex's 8 5! Flop is 4 2 3. Still anybody's. Turn is an A. Boom! Alex hits a straight. Only a 5 can help Ray now for a split pot but it's not to be because it was a 4. Just what the Pro ordered.
Time to get down to business and eliminate some of these players. Greg and Ray are all in but Alex doesn't want a piece. Greg 9 9 and Ray A 5. Flop was made for Greg 9 5 A, turning a Q then a 7 for the river. Ray is gone burger and finishes 3rd.
Only Greg and Alex left. they look evenly stacked but Greg is a tad ahead. They're both all in. Alex with K 10 and Greg A J. One of the sickest flops we've seen this year, Q Q Q...5...2. Funnily enough Greg is our winner with trips, A high.
Well done Greg and thank you to all those that played.
