GT the Friendly Shark takes the PLO Victory.

It was our last Thursday tournament for a while. We had 12 people turn up, all playing to win their share of the prize pool which got to over $1000. 

Our top three places were paid. They were Gary T, James H and Sammy C. Sammy was all-in shortly after knocking out the bubble. He had 3-6-Q-Q. James called with A-9-7-Q. The board showed J-J-K-10-7 and James took the hand turning the straight.

Gary was all-in and ending up winning with a pair of Q's which shifted him to top stack. So next hand James was all-in blind. He had 6-K-J-4, Gary had 9-8-J-8. Board of 7-7-9-A-9 gave Gary the set and the victory. He will remain PLO champion for a while as we say goodbye to Thursday Tournaments for a while.

We have a lot coming up in the way of satellites and deep-stack tournaments so keep your eyes peeled for all the info.

 

Nick Sneaks in for the Win!

Monster turnout out tonight for the tournament creating a prize pool of over $2,000!


Giving a cash prize to the top four, tonight we had Chris R, Julian B, Matt L and Nick K.

After a short while of friendly play and the blinds going up, suddenly we had a four way all in. Nick took out the main pot with a flush and Chris picked up the rest with two pair. And unfortunately left Nick and Julian behind to finish in third and fourth place respectively.

The same tactic was tried a short while later with Nick going all in pre-flop, and Chris quickly called with pocket 8s. Nick had K7 and a K on the flop sealed the deal for him, beating Chris' 8's. Well done, Nick!

It was a great tournament tonight, with a few new faces trying their luck.

Join us tomorrow for the final Thursday Tournament for a while. Pot Limit Omaha, what a treat!

Short and Sweet

We had a modest turnout to our Pot-Limit Omaha tournament tonight, all after their share in the $750 prize pool. 

We were quick to get down to the final four, but only the top two were paid. They were Michael T and James H. 

James was short-stack for a while, but a few "pot" calls and an all-in, he crept his way back. Now short-stack, Michael went all-in with 6-Q-J-10. James called with K-K-A-2. The board was 10-4-5-5-7 and James' Ks took out the tournament.

Join us next week for our 6-Max tournaments, kicking of at 7:45pm on Wednesday and Thursday.

Peasant Ascends. Weekly Wednesday 6-Max

20 Players came to play the Wednesday 6-Max this week, the prizepool finished up, just over $1,600.

Top 4 this week, we had: Martin, Alex the Peasant,$ugar $hum and GT.

4th went to Gary. Blinds became valuable and he was unlucky to bump into Martin's strong hand. Gary pushed and was called by Martin, 42 vs AJ. T Q A 7 Q came out on the board.

3rd went to $ugar $hum. Chris pushed pre with A4, he was called by Alex with a big stack and QT. Ace high didn't hold up once a T came on the turn. 5 2 J T 6.

Top 2 were Martin and Alex the Peasant. Their stacks were quite similar in size, a deal was made, both players went all in blind. Alex managed to score a nice hand, 88 vs 74 in the dark.  5 A 4 came out on the flop, the Peasant scored an 8 on the turn (giving him a set, Martin the gut-shot). 3 on the river sealed the deal for Alex.

A big well done to Alex, we are sure his loyal fans at #peasantpoker will be over the moon with this result. 3 thumbs up!

Our PLO Debut Winner

We had 13 people turn up for the long awaited Pot Limit Omaha Tournament, all fighting for their share of the $1200 prize pool. The final table was quickly formed, but lasted a while with conservative play.

We had three runners who were paid. They were Danny W, Phillip K and Matt S.
The first one to bite the dust was Danny. All-in pre-flop with 8-J-Q-5, Phillip called with A-4-Q-3. The board showed 7-A-10-4-2 so Phillips 2-pair was good enough.

The stacks were very even between Phillip and Matt. Phillip - all-in with K-4-4-J - was called by Matt who had 2-5-Q-8. The board was 3-3-Q-7-5. Matt won with 2-pair and had Phillip only just covered in chips.

Congratulations to all our winners.
We continue next week with same two tournaments. We'll see you there.

GT making it look easy...

The tournament this evening was a good one with 23 players and a prize pool of over $2000! Slowly though, the tournament was whittled down to the final four players. Each playing for a piece of the prize money. The lucky four were Ryan C, Ryan H, Daniel S and Gary T.

It didn't take long for the friendly rivalries to go out the door and they were playing for the money, The first to go was Ryan H. Calling GT's all in with 75 against an A5 for GT. The flop was 66K and a 4 on the turn gave Ryan and open ender. But a 10 on the river unfortunately sealed his fate, as he had the lower kicker.

Next GT took on Dan flopping a pair of Queens. Dan's pocket Jacks just couldn't catch up. Leaving Dan in third place.

After about 10 minutes of pretty low key heads up play, GT and Ryan C took each other on.GT had QJ whereas Ryan had 98. Again GT paired Queens on the flop, which dominated over Ryan C and he took out the top spot. Congratulations!

It was a great night, with lots of great poker being played. Join us tomorrow night for the long awaited Pot Limit Omaha tournament. $20 entry, with unlimited rebuys and a triple addons.

Come down and try your luck!

Charlotte Takes All: $ugar Pipped at the Post

The tournament tonight was the final Freezeout Tournament, and there was lots of great hands being played.

Charlotte, Alex and Chris were out final three this week, all taking home cash prizes.

Alex went home in third when he came up against Charlotte. JJ against A8, Charlotte flopped a gut-shot with 6 5 4 out on the table, a two on the turn and an Ace on the river to sneak the pot for Charlotte, hitting her over card.

Chris and Charlotte played it out for the glory (Chris going for two wins in a row). After some heads up play and swapping of Chips, it got down to the nitty gritty with the final hand. Chris has K8, Charlotte has TT. Chris hits his under card on the flop, Q 8 3. Holding out for an Eight or a King, Chris finds himself empty handed when a 7 and a 9 come on the turn and then the river.

Charlotte takes out another freezeout, and next week we will be switching it up to an Omaha tournament.

Be sure to join us next week on Wednesday and Thursday for some great tournaments.

$ugar $hum, King of the Table.

In our 6-max tournament tonight, we had 20 Players and a prize-pool just shy of $1,900.

Top four came down to: Ryan, Chris S, Ben and Gary.

Ryan went home with 4th prize after losing the majority of his stack a few hands prior to Ben. Ryan was UTG on his final hand and he went all in for just under a BB. Ben limped in, but was quickly punished by Chris who raised all in, causing a fold. Ryan had picked up AK and Chris had A7. cards up, dealer dealt out 7 A 6 J 2. A solid two pair to Chris secured him the pot.

Chris found himself with the strong Ace when he called Gary's all in, AK vs A5. Once again, Chris flopped two pair; K 4 A 9 T. After the flop there were not many outs for Gary and Chris' hand held up, securing him in the final two, and the chip lead.

Heads up was between Chris and Ben. They played out for around 15 minutes before the match concluded. The chips went all in pre, Ben with K5, Chris with QJ. Chris hit his Jack on the flop, the poker gods smiled upon $ugar $hum and they held up. J 7 3 7 4.

Well done!

Dylan's determination takes it out!

Tonight's tournament was a small one, but by no means was it a quick one! Everyone who participated was there to for the glory!

In the end though, we were left with only three people trying to claim the cash which was available for first and second. Initially Greg G. was chip leader, though gradually it was a new-comer Dylan R. who took over.

Ray W. narrowly missed out on the second place and finished third. After going all in blind with Q8, Dylan called with A4. The flop was 553 and a K and 2 on the turn and river. It left Dylan with a straight and Ray out of the race.

Greg and Dylan played heads up for a while, until an all in call ended with Dylan narrowly beating Greg with two K's and 9's against Greg's K's and 7's.

It was a great tournament tonight, don't forget to join us next week for our tournaments on Wednesday and Thursday!

Peace out.
