The UKs Alex Goulder has had his best ever year at the poker table in 2014, helped in no small part by his biggest ever live cash in Prague just a week ago. He chatted to the PokerStars Blog about his annus mirabilis.
Eoghan O'Dea errr Rory Brown seems to be having a very decent day thus far, as the Irish is up to more than three-times the starting stack. Fahredin Mustafov's seat was empty and M;icah Raskin doubled up with pocket kings versus pocket queens.

You remember the post we wrote about Max Silver losing all of his chips with aces to king-jack? Well, the gentleman with the king-jack in that hand just made another victim.
German pro Manig Loeser, who finished third in a big WSOP event this year and runner up in one the year before, has been eliminated by the same player. Loeser had aces but lost to kings.
A little consolation for Loeser is that he won't have to read any more incredibly unfunny puns with his name this week.

Stephen Chidwick opened from early position and picked up one caller in the big blind.
The flop of 
was checked and on the turn card 
Chidwick called a bet of 1,000.
The river card 
was checked over to Chidwick who gave his opponent a cold stare and bet 3,000. The player in the big blind didn’t seem convinced and made the call.
Chidwick turned over the old 
for trips and the chips were pushed his way.

The PokerStars video team found a couple of poker players and media members crazy enough to do a poker version of the song 'The Twelve Days of Christmas'. It's probably a good thing they didn't try to make careers in performing.
After a raise by Gaelle Baumann and a three-bet to 1,500 by Giuliano Bendinelli, one opponent behind them called and Baumann then four-bet to 4,500. Only Bendinelli called and they saw the heads-up flop of 
. Baumann fired 3,675 and then checked down the turn and the 
river. Baumann showed 
but that was only second best to the 
of the Italian.

Asher Neaman limped in from under the gun as did Frederik Reusch from the cut off. Ilan Boujenah was on the button and raised it up to 1,125 as the blinds got out of the way. Neaman made the call before Reusch threw out a three-bet to 3,375. Boujenah couldn’t grasp how the hand was playing out and opted to fold. Neaman made the call before both players watched the flop come down 
.
Neaman checked his option before Reusch threw out a continuation bet of 3,000. It was called instantly before the delaer produced the 
on the turn. Neaman checked and Reusch reached for his chips. A bet of 6,050 was pushed into the middle and Neaman confirmed with the dealer what the bet amount was.
He then moved all in over the top for approximately 21,000 in chips and Reusch froze. The bet was too large and he ended up folding his hand.
“Please show me what you had,” begged Boujenah following the hand.
Reusch just grinned and shook his head as Boujenah couldn’t believe what happened.
“I had jacks,” he added, now pondering whether he made the right move.
“I had aces,” replied Neaman, much to the surprise of his two opponents as well as others at the table.
“I didn’t want to scare anyone away with all the raising pre flop,” he ended.
The discussion went on for several minutes as small talk circled the table.

Sin Melin, a U.K. circuit regular, is playing in her first EPT Main Event today and was enjoying a massage at the table in a recent hand. While that may be relaxing, the fact that she has Martin Finger to her direct left is less conducive to an easy time at the poker table.
Melin opened for 650 on the button and got called by Finger in the small blind and the player in the big blind. Three players saw a flop of 
and it was checked around.
The turn card was the 
and Finger now led out for 1,000 which got called by both opponents.
On the river 
Finger bet again, this time a more substantial 5,200. The player in the big called and Melin mucked her cards. Finger had it, turning over 
for the straight and his opponent mucked.
