Table Talk: Week 3 (Season II)

We had to postpone this week's event by one day, however the masses still turned up to support The Fife Poker Tour and their wallets once the game got underway on Thursday.  It took until level 6 when blinds were 400 - 800 before we eventually reached our final table.  This was made up of (in no particular order); Neil 'Giant Chipstacks' Kelly, Chris 'Sweet Berry', Willie 'High - Lowe', Daz 'Vegas Baby' Philp, 'Johnboy Walton' Gooda, Danny 'Knockout' Coll, Stephen 'High Five' Pickering,  Mark 'Aces' Mc.Gregor and FPT newcomer Colin 'Yippie Kai Yai' Mc.Lean.

The first hand of interest was Daz's   vs.Chris's  for a pot worth 30k in chips.  The players got it all-in preflop with a raise, re-raise situation playing out and the flop came .  The  on the turn then the killer  on the river crushed Daz's cowboys and his chances of finishing strongly in this weeks event.

A few levels later on and pocket 10's were in action again, but unfortunately for John they were on the wrong side of lady luck.  John pushed all-in for 7.5k with , and though Neil had  he was obliged to call as it was only another 4.5k on top of his 3k BB.  John spiked trips in the window however his arse went into twitch mode when he noticed the  flop.  Things worsened for John when the  fell on the turn giving Neil the flush draw plus his original open ender for the knockout with one card to come.  The  on the river made the flush and sent last weeks champion packing.

The top three money and points were fought out between Chris, Stephen and Colin.  There was no debutant victory for Colin, but he did finish with a well deserved 3rd place and a great start to his FPT career.  After a grueling 30 minute heads-up session between Chris and Stephen both players decided to do a 'Dingwall Dealbreaker' and split the remaining pot.  Stephen and Chris were awarded 1st and 2nd points respectively after playing the final hand face-up.  Stephen was delighted to break his 5th place hoodoo by reaching first base and in doing so became the new FPT league leader after 3 weeks of play in Season II.

Join us again next week at the usually time and place.  If you've still not been along this season, why not make next week your first?  You are more than welcome!!!
