Full Tilt Poker UKIPT Galway Main Event Day 3: Alan Gold Leads the Final Table

Nível 26 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Alan Gold
Alan Gold

There were 51 players who returned for Day 3 of the Main Event and we were set to play down to the final eight who would come back tomorrow for the chance to be crowned Galway UKIPT Champion and take away a first prize of €205,600.

Alan Gold is the chip leader going into the final table with 4,050,000. He was consistently at the top of the leader board and used his stack to play aggressively and constantly apply pressure to shorter stacks looking to ladder up.

Meanwhile it was Max Silver who fell at the final hurdle; he was eliminated in 9th place and just missed out on his fourth UKIPT final table.

Tim Michels, a German PokerStars qualifier, began the day as chip leader with 835,000. Other notable names included Irish legend Padraig Parkinson, Dale Philip a PokerStars Team Online pro, and Max Silver.

All of the players had made the money but they also had dreams of making it through to the final table and a chance to lift the coveted trophy.

As well as the prize money up for grabs, there was a Last Longer Sponsorship Promotion for those players who had qualified through Full Tilt. Ten players started in contention today and the last one standing would receive a prize package including buy-ins and expenses to every remaining stop on the UKIPT Season 4 tour. Of the ten Full Tilt qualifiers who started the day, three have made it to the final table: Daragh Davey, Alan Gold and Damian Porebski.

The day started pretty quickly with the short stacks looking for a spot to get their chips in and double up. In less than fifteen minutes the first player out was Mikos Soproni, one of the Full Tilt qualifiers, from Hungary. He had already got one shove through, but when he made his next all-in with {a-Hearts}{5-Spades} he ran into the {a-Spades}{j-Spades} of Andrew Dwyer and got no help on a {a-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{10-Clubs} board.

Soon after that David Parkinson hit the rail with and ill-timed four-bet shove with {a-Spades}{2-Spades} into Raul Paez’s {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}. {a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{9-Spades}{4-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} was the final board. Parkinson exited the tournament fairly early holding {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades} on a flop of {a-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{2-Spades}. Unfortunately his opponent, Christopher Morkan, just out kicked him with his {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}. The last two cards {9-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} were no help to him.

Spain's Paez went on to make the final 11 but would go no further. A controversial figure throughout the three days, he had a habit of taking a longer time than many others to come to a decision; in fact, he was the only player to have the clock called on him today. It happened twice and both times it was Silver who decided enough was enough. The second time Silver felt moved to tell him, "Five minutes. There's no reason. If you're going to call, then call. You're wasting time." Paez would eventually fall on the feature table when he four-bet all-in with {k-Clubs}{k-Spades} into the {a-Spades}{a-Hearts} of chip leader at the time, Paul Feber. The {j-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{4-Clubs}{q-Spades}{j-Clubs} board sent Paez away with €10,670 for his troubles.

When down to the unofficial final table of nine, Davey was lucky to survive when his three-bet all-in with {9-Spades}{9-Hearts} was called by the {A-Spades}{A-Clubs} of Febers. The cards fell {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and Davey hit his two-outer on the river to keep the dream alive. From there it fell to Silver to become the bubble boy when he got it all in pre-flop with {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. Ironically it was Davey who delivered the killer blow holding {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}. The cards ran out {5-Clubs}{9-Spades}{3-Spades}{9-Spades}{2-Spades} and there was to be no two-outer for Silver.

The final eight players will return at Noon local time on Monday to play down to a winner. Join the PokerNews Live Reporting Team then for all the action and eliminations on the way to crowning a FTP UKIPT Galway champion.

It's been a roller coaster of a day for former UKIPT winner Max Silver. He was almost out a couple of hours ago before he spun his short stack into 2 million chips. But now they're all gone after he lost a huge hand to Daragh Davey, all in preflop.

Silver: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Davey: {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}

The board came {5-Clubs}{9-Spades}{3-Spades}{9-Spades}{2-Spades} - no help to either player and Silver was knocked out on the final table bubble. He shook everyone's hand and wished them all good luck.

And with that, we are done for the night.

Nível 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Peter Murphy - 10th Place
Peter Murphy - 10th Place

Over at the feature table, action folded to a short-stacked Peter Murphy in the small blind and he moved all in for 470,000. Alan Gold was in the big blind, looked down at his cards and then called.

Murphy: {9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}
Gold: {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

Murphy was in rough shape as he shared a seven with Gold. He needed a miracle of sorts to stay alive, but he wouldn't get it as the board ran out {q-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{q-Clubs}.

Paez Eliminated in 11th (€10,670)

Nível 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Raul Paez
Raul Paez

Raul Paez raised to 80,000 and Paul Febers Three-bet him to 175,000. Paez gave it a bit of a dwell, up as he had been doing for most of the tournament, before announcing all-in. Febers Instantly called and tabled his {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}. Paez was dismayed to come this far and run his {k-Clubs}{k-Spades} into the one hand he feared. He would need a miracle from the dealer.

The five cards ran out {j-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{4-Clubs}{q-Spades}{j-Clubs} and the last two kings stayed hidden in the deck to send Paez away from the feature table but €10,670 richer.

Tim Michels

The action was passed around to Max Silver in the small blind and he promptly moved all in, Michels checked his cards and then quickly called.

Silver: {7-Clubs}{3-Clubs}
Michels: {A-Hearts}{8-Spades}

The board came {5-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{2-Hearts} with Silver spiking a pair of treys to knock out the German. Silver has gone from 375,000 to about 2 million in the space of half an hour. Not bad.

Slater Pulls Ridiculous Bluff on Silver

Nível 24 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Jonathan Slater
Jonathan Slater

Max Silver opened to 60,000 preflop and Jonathan Slater called from the big blind to see a {Q-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop. Silver stuck in a continuation bet for another 60,000 which Slater check-called.

On the {9-Hearts} turn, Slater check-called again, this time to the tune of 155,000 and the dealer put out the {8-Diamonds} river.

Slater checked a third time and Silver now bet a sizeable 245,000. Slater then unexpectedly came in for a min check-raise to 490,000, Silver was slightly surprised and began to mutter something about knowing when to value-bet. He elected to muck his hand and Slater gleefully showed {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for a complete bluff.

Mark Spelman Eliminated in 13th (€8,730)

Nível 24 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Mark Spelman
Mark Spelman

Mark Spelman moved all-in and was called by Benjamin Spragg. Spelman had {q-Spades}{8-Clubs} but Spragg was ahead with {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}. The final board of {j-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{q-Clubs} gave a timely boost to Spragg’s stack and sent valiant Spelman to the rail.

Could it be that Spragg now has some tormenting of his own to do? Stay tuned to find out.

Barry Donovan Eliminated in 14th Place (€8,730)

Nível 23 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante
Barry Donovan - 14th Place
Barry Donovan - 14th Place

Over at the feature table, action folded to local player Christy Morkan on the button and he raised to 55,000. Barry Donovan was in the small blind and thought for a few moments before announcing that he was all in. The big blind folded and then Morkan snap-called.

Morkan: {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Donovan: {k-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Donovan realized he had picked a bad spot even before the cards were turned over. That said, he could still win with a king or some hearts. The {2-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{a-Hearts} flop contained only one of the latter, while the {6-Diamonds} turn took away that possibility altogether. In order to stay alive in the Full Tilt Poker UKIPT Galway Main Event Donovan would need a king on the river, but he was left wanting as the useless {10-Clubs} peeled off.

A flurry of action on the feature table as the chips went flying into the middle between Dino Sabatini and Paul Febers.

Sabatini: {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}
Febers: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

The flop came {7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and Febers became a big favourite. The {6-Spades} changed nothing on the turn and neither did the {K-Spades} on the river.

Euan Cameron Eliminated in 16th Place (€7,000)

Nível 23 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante
Euan Cameron
Euan Cameron

It appeared action folded to Christy Morkan in the small blind and that he shoved to put the pressure on Euan Cameron in the big. We think Cameron called off for 240,000 or so, but either way he was all in and at risk.

Cameron: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Morkan: {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}

Thanks to his kicker, Cameron was a big favorite. In fact, according to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, Cameron had a 72.31% chance of doubling on the hand. The {10-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop paired his queen and brought his chances up to 81.92%, but it also gave Morkan a gutshot straight draw to Broadway, which he'd hit 16.97% of the time.

Much to Cameron's dismay, the {K-Clubs} on the turn gave Morkan the said flush and a 75% chance of winning. Cameron was none too pleased, but the good news was that it was a club, meaning he had picked up a flush draw. He could also chop with a jack on the river. The dealer burned one last time and put out the {2-Spades}, the last card Cameron would see before taking his leave in 16th place.
