Nível: 8
Blinds: 400/800
Ante: 100
There is a slightly giddy atmosphere now that we have entered the last level of the day; seven long hours of concentration, swings and roundabouts, good and bad luck. A lot of the action can now be described as either “The hands played themselves.” Or “It was a stack-size question.” Players are surely questioning whether it is worth their time to return tomorrow with a stack smaller than ten big blinds. Take this hand from table 4.
Kenneth Coote opened for 800 and it went round to Gregory Taylor in the small blind who shoved for 8,000. The big blind, Remy Hordan, also went all in for 4,300 and the decision was back on Coote who considered his options. It looked like he had a strong hand but let it go. Taylor turned over but was in trouble against Hordan’s . A frustrated Taylor bemoaned his fate, “Only ace I’ve had for the last four hours.” He couldn’t moan it in though as the board ran out and Hordan doubled up.
In level seven, Peter Barrable had pushed all in with for about 10,000 but ended up losing the all-in showdown to another player. The pair were close in chips and the Irishman assumed he was out until he was called back by the dealer and found he had 175 chips remaining.
Having to put 75 chips into his ante, the other 100 went in with where he duly flopped the nut straight and managed to get himself into things.
Next he had in a four-way pot where his hand held up which took him back up to about 8,000. A few more shoves then holding against and now he sits with over 30,000!
Poker is easy.
