David LaRonde takes home £62,050 for second place

Sam Trickett wins a seat in the Grand Final, a Tutima watch and £106,050

Sam Trickett is the 2008 Luton GUKPT Leg 6 Champion

David calls from the button and Sam raises 130k.  David re-raises to 260k and Sam announces “all-in” .. a moment “call!” from David.

Sam with AdQs and David Ac7c

The flop brings both an ace and a queen and with the deuce on the turn David is drawing dead.

Blinds at 20k 40k ante 3k

David LaRonde 1.76 million

Sam Trickett 2 million

(45 minute levels since 4 handed)

Not to be bullied anymore James Mitchell re-raises Sam Trickett from the big blind all-in for 600k more. 

Sam takes an age to deliberate. “aaaaggh, ok let’s win it !” he calls.

JAMES WITH 73 OFF SUIT AND SAM WITH POCKET 66′S

James does hit a 3 on the turn but no other help arrives and James Mitchell exits in third place for £45,100

Heads up

James dwindling after being bullied out of pots by Sam Trickett.

LaRonde 1.7M

Trickett 1.3M

Mitchell 700k

Sam makes it 80k to go and David makes it 160k with Sam calling.  Three spades on the flop, KT9 and David bets 100k, but Sam over the top 150k more and David immediate “all-in”.  Sam tanks then folds, asking if David will show if he does.  David obliges with Kh8d no spade.  “You have two pair?” asks David.  No response from Sam.

We weren’t long at 4 handed, a couple of hands that’s all.  The remaining 3 are taking a 5 min. break for “chat”.  They are:

LaRonde 1.5M

Trickett 1.2M

Mitchell 1.1M

The “unlucky” fourth place finisher was Martin Jarvis, all-in with 89 against AK of that man LaRonde, who hits trips on the flop and turn combined.  Martin takes home £30,100.

LaRonde 1.2M

Trickett 1.2M

Mitchell 1.1M

Jarvis 350k

Blinds 15k 30k ante 2k 

Sam takes 90k back off David after a blind battle, Sam with pocket TT’s and David 98, hitting a pair on an eight high flop.

Martin Green gets it all-in and called for just over 200k by James Mitchell.  Martin with AT and James AQ.  No help for Martin and he leaves in 5th and takes home £23,500
