All-in and CAllED !!

Monday, March 26th, 2007

.. and all of a sudden ..

Michael raises to 150k from the button .. Hoss calls !

Flop is K83 and both check yet again

Turn is 9 and Hoss announces “All-in!” .. immediate “CALL” by Michael

Michael has K9 for 2 pair and Hoss is open-ended

River is a Jack and Michael Greco is our GUKPT Leg 3 champion.

It’s all call and check it out every hand here .. turgid stuff .. am going to liven it up by streaking through the TV studio .. back in a mo. !

Heads up

Monday, March 26th, 2007

Michael finds QQ’s first hand headsup .. makes nothing.

Roberto all-in and all out

Monday, March 26th, 2007

Down to 595k now so pushes all-in from the button .. neither Hoss nor Michael call

It’s 90k every 3 hands now.

2 hands later, Hoss limped from the button and Michael called : Roberto “all-in” : Hoss folds but Michael calls !!

Michael has AJ and Roberto 99

Lots more outs for Michael on a flop of KKT .. any queen any ace any ten any jack ..

turn is the Queen ! .. so Roberto needs a 9 or a King to survive, but

the river is another Ten.

Roberto finishes in 3rd (unofficially he gets £50k)
