Table Talk: Week 4 (Season II)

If you were behind preflop, flop or turn it seemed the poker gods were in your favor with one card to come.  The river was you friend... or should I say "ilog ay iyong kaibigan" for the pretenders trying to cut a living in the Filipino Poker Tour.  Another week and another strong turn out as 20 poker players (gents & ladies) sat down for the fourth installment of Season II.

We fast forward to our final four which consisted of Rab 'Goldenballs' Dingwall, Kenny 'The Mouth' Blake, Willie 'High - Lowe' and Johnny 'Shortstaff' Crimes.  The hand that burst the bubble played out as follows, with blinds at 1500 - 3000 they were coming round thick and fast.  Rab pushed with  for 21k under the gun, a standard play giving the circumstances.  Willie folded and JC who was in the small blind called with  putting himself all-in.  Action to Kenny in the big blind who at this point had about 65k in chips, following some deliberation he made the call.  This was his chance to secure a place heads-up by knocking out two players at once without jeopardising to much of his chip stack, and as it was he had a workable hand in .  Help was on hand when the flop came .  Neither short stack was able to catch up as the board ran out    on the turn and river.

The final pair played about 40 hands heads-up with the action going back and forth (much to Daz's dismay who was dealing at this point).  Both players took it turns to pick up monster hands.  Its just unfortunate that each time their opponent had rice so the fireworks never materialised.  That was until Neil 'Giant Chipstacks' Kelly offered to deal one hand.  A preflop raise from Willie with  was met by Kenny's all-in who had , which Willie was forced to call.   on the flop, followed by   on 4th and 5th street meant Kenny's walking sticks held up crowning him our week 4 winner.

Its toit at the top with only 1000 points seperating the top six players, but its Chris 'Sweet Berry' who reclaims the lead in the race to become FPT league champion.
