Early Leaders

An Aussie Shark and an English Fish
An Aussie Shark and an English Fish
Players are on a break and we have lost 7 from our original 177 day 1A starters and have an average stack of 10,500. Liam Flood and Mark Vos are our early leaders both on or around the 25,000 mark. Mark Vos has just been moved to the left of Dave ��Devilfish�� Ulliott so we can expect some fireworks when the players resume.

Bustouts so far

Katja Thater: OUT
Harry Demetriou: OUT
Jeff Burke: OUT

Also Christopher Convery is currently missing in action. Earlier he was crippled in a set over set confrontation with Jeff Lisandro.

Donnacha O'Dea Busted

On a board which read {7-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{5-Hearts} The Don check-raised his opponent who then put the Irish man all in. O'Dea immediately called.

{Q-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} for O'Dea
{4-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and a straight flush draw for his opponent.

{J-Hearts} on the river sent O'Dea packing.

Level: 3

Blinds: 75/150

Slowplay, No Pay

Mark Vos
Mark Vos
Mark Vos just lost a substantial chunk of his chips but still appears to have close to his starting stack.

Three-way action. The flop was {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and everyone checked. Then a lot chips flew into the middle when a {9-Diamonds} came on the turn.

{Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for Vos
{9-Clubs}{9-Spades} for Scott Fischman.

Apparently the third player in the hand also folded a weaker queen.

This is turning out to be an interesting table with The DevilFish and Mats Iremark now sitting on Vos' right.

With 150 players still in....

....it's turning out to be an awful day for the Irish as both Roy Brindley and Eoghan Lyons have taken early baths. Brindley exited at the hand of Age Spets.

Lyons decided to make a stand with a Jack high flush draw and walked into an Ace high flush draw. Whoops!

Lisandro Running Well

Lisandro calls a mid position raise,

Flop Comes

{6-Spades}{8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}

Lisandro bets, opponent calls

turn comes

{5-Diamonds}

Check, Check

River brings

{2-Spades}

Opponent checks and Lisandro bets, Opponent dwells up for an age, then calls. Lisandro shows {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs} for the turned straight, and scoops about a 6,000 chip pot. Jeff is now sitting on about 26,000 chips.
