Game 1 – 8 players - (1st Dan, 2nd Bazra, 3rd JJ):
What a first hand. I look at my cards and delight in seeing KK (one diamond). I raise £2. Dave reraises £3. I reraise £6. Dave calls. Flop comes 5 9 4 (all diamonds). I raise. Dave calls. 9 clubs on turn and I go all in. Dave deliberates, and eventually calls. He shows a QQ (inc Q diamonds). River card an Ace, and unfortunately for Dave, he is out first, in the first hand.
Soon after JJ raises £3. Dan reraises £5 and Vic (10 10) reraises another £5. JJ folds (QQ) and Dan (KK) calls. A lovely 10 comes on the flop and Vic rejoices and raises. Dan calls. But a King on the river gives Dan an undeserved victory, and Vic short stacked. [JJ would have won with the nut flush !]
and again, soon after, but still in the first round of blinds, Dan (QK) and Vic (Q10) battle it out again, with a Q on the flop and Dan is all in and Vic calls. But a 10 on the turn and Vic doubles up.
JJ took a call on his mobile, and answered it "Hello, Jonathan speaking...". No one actually knew who he was talking about !
Jude won a nice pot vs Lee with AA
Vic won a nice pot vs Sharon with AA
In another hand, Vic turned his cards over and declared "Queen high". However his cards were actually 10 2. Odd.
Lee knocked Sharon out with K10 hitting a 10
Vic (AK) doubled up vs JJ (AQ)
JJ (62) had a flush and straight draw and went all in. Jude thought, and called with A4 (4 on flop). Great call , however JJ hit both his straight and flush, and doubled up.
Jude out next hand to me with J5 after hitting J on the flop, but I had KJ.
Lee out next to JJ's flush
Vic out next hand to Dan's straight
I knock JJ out in 3rd with pocket 6's
Heads up me and Dan - one big hand and Dan big chip leader, and Dan takes the victory soon after.
Game 2 – 6 players - (1st Dan, 2nd Lee, 3rd Dean):
I won nice pot vs Dean with AA
Dean hit 4 to a straight flush (so close!!)
Dave (44) doubled up vs JJ (22) after hitting 4 on the flop
but Dave's disappointing night soon ended as I knocked his 88 out of the house with my, ironically again, KK
Dan wins with A10 vs me (A8 nut flush) and doubled up
And i fell next to Dan, followed by JJ, Dean & Lee, and Dan makes it a double and makes his chance of winning the league in 3 weeks time a slight possibility if he wins the remaining 6 games !!!! Norfolk 'n chance.
