28 May 2008 (The Jayson's) "IJ Burns Marky's spirit in Dealing Fuck up"

Game 1 – 9 players - (1st Dave, 2nd Mark, 3rd Lee)

Baz was first out (9th) with Qs, after Dave called his all in with AK & then hit a King on the turn.
Shaz followed soon after in a monster hand. JJ re-raised her all in, while Dave re-raised him all in. Shaz pondered for a long time and then called, only to see her 4s dominated by Dave's Ks. But it was JJ who came out on top, with his AJ hit 2 Js and tripled him up. Sharon out (8th).
JJ continued his lucky streak, when Jude called his all in with 5s. JJ's KJ turned into a full house and he doubled up.
Lee got the better of him, when his AQ held up against J's Q10, and doubled Lee up. Turned out that both Dan & Dave would have won, had they been in....
IJ eventually killed JJ off, going all in with AJ, which held up against JJ's A10. J out (7th).
Mark knocked Dan out, when he re-raised all in with his A5, against Dan's deuces. Mark hit a 5 on the first card out & knocked Dan out (6th).
Lee doubled up after his AQ hit AQ, destroying Dave's KJ.
Jude then followed Lee, to double up at Dave's expense, after her Q1o held up against his J10.
IJ went out with Q6 to Lee's K7 which hit trip Ks. IJ out (5th).
Jude followed, after going all in with AK, which Dave called with JQ which hit a J. Jude out (4th).
Lee doubled up after his A10 hit a 10, overwhelming Mark's A5.
The two of them were back in action, this time when Lee had 4 cards to the Royal Flush in clubs. He only needed the Ace of clubs to take the cash prize, but ended up splitting the pot with Mark.
Ultimately, Mark knocked Lee out (3rd) when his pocket rockets held up against Lee's A10 suited.
Heads up between Mark & Dave started at 23:26 and was slow to kick off, with Dan enforcing the 'blinds go up' rule after 15 minutes. Chip leadership swapped between the 2 of them until IJ fucked up big time, burning every other card when dealing. Dave's AQ hit a Q to overtake Mark's 55, but Marky was convinced he was robbed by the card screw up. IJ was very apologetic, denying that this was an act of revenge for the tea stains on his carpet.
His spirit crushed, Mark finally succumbed to Dave's charms at 23:55, when his A6 was beaten by Dave's J10 which turned into a straight.
Well done Dave!


Game 2– 7 players - (1st JJ, 2nd Dave, 3rd Lee)

Dean was blessed with some great cards early on, hitting the nut straight against Lee, who had 2 pair. He didn't raise, because he was waiting to see what the 6th card would bring...
Dave slow played his pocket Aces, which allowed IJ to hit 2 pair with 10 2.
JJ re-raised Baz and Dan £6 all with 3 spades on the table. He'd hit the second nut flush, but unfortunately for him the others folded.
Baz then re-raised Dan all in with AK, which hit AK to double up against Dan's A10.
He then goes all in with AQ, which Lee called with K9 to double Baz up again.
Dan re-raised all in on a straight draw. He told us afterwards that he expected a call from Dave and he expected not to hit his draw and to be knocked out. His predictions came true, proving that there are occasions when Dan is right. Dan out (7th)
JJ knocked IJ (6th) out after his KK held up against IJ's A10 suited.

--------------------------------
JJ continues:

Lee was out in 3rd.

Heads-up, I was a fairly big chip leader but Dave fought back twice and it went on for a good half an hour with both of us feeling the lateness of the hour.

Final hand saw a short-stacked Dave go all-in after my flat call with 10 9 hearts.
I called and hit 4 nines to beat Dave's full house.

What a finish! Well done JJ!
