Doing Swimmingly

A battle of the English-speaking nations saw Ted Forrest (US), Richard Gryko (UK) and Donnacha O'Dea (Ireland) lock horns in a Razz hand.

A bet of 600 from Donnacha, a call from Forrest, and a re-raise to Gryko led to Donnacha moving virtually all- in and Forrest swiftly moving out of the way.

Naturally, Gryko called, and it was on their backs. By the end of the hand, it was the former Olympic swimmer and former bracelet winner who survived for a double through, his {6-Clubs}{A-Spades}{3-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} enough to fend off Gryko's {2-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}.

As a result, the Irishman is as happy as Larry, whoever Larry might be.
