JJ (AK) should have boon out early on to James's 10 10 but hit A on river
James (QQ) out first to Ilan (AJ) after Ilan hit A on turn
Lee (44) vs JJ (J9) - 9 and a 4 on flop - but two Jacks on turn and river give JJ higher full house and Lee robbed and out.
Ilan (AK) out next to Sharon's 10 10
Dave (A10) out next to Sharon's KK after Dave hit A but Sharon hit nut flush
I (88) knock Dan (K8) out hitting trip 8's
Sharon all in with 88, I call with 10 10 and Sharon stort stacked and out soon after to JJ
Heads up - me (A5) and JJ (K8) - A and K on flop and I get first win in 14 weeks !!
Game 2 – 7 players - (1st Dave (to go top of the table), 2nd James, 3rd Ilan):
Ilan hit four 2's and won nice pot vs James's QQ
Dan got 4 cards of the 5 required for a spade Royal flush (see later). So near and yet so far.
I lost big hand with 2 pair to Dan's straight on the river
Dan (JJ) vs James (KK). First card out is a Jack and James gutted, only for next card to be a K. Dan decimated
Soon after I finish the brutal pillaging of Dan's chips, and send him home a monster hand: 5 8 J on flop and 8 on turn, gives Dan full house and me trips. Dan all in. I call. I losing big time until river card (Ace) gives me higher full house and Dan out.
James string joins
Me (JJ) vs JJ's AK - Jack on flop and I double up
next hand, JJ (AK) goes up against Dave (AJ) and 444A on board gives split pot. Lucky escape for Dave
a huge hand and a huge decision. JJ (A8) all in. James calls with AJ. I call with KK. Ace on flop and James goes all in. I have to decide if he has an Ace. After deliberating for ages, I can't lay down my KK and call. DOH. bad move. I have not very many chips left and JJ out.
next hand I all in with Q5, Dave calls with Q2, and of course Dave got lucky and hit a 2. me out.
Lee out next, followed by Ilan, and heads up, Dave overturns huge chip lead of James's and wins to go top of the table.
Poker Rankings table for this week:
Idea of the Week:
AT LAST. A discussion about the Poker Elite emblem (spade royal flush) finally reaped rewards as Lee suggested that we each put in £1 a week, and the first person to get a Royal flush (any suit) will win the pot. Nice idea. Starts next year.
No extras this week, as, after all, it's all about the poker !!!
And on that note, that's all for this week.
