[thkcduckworth]

The run bad award of the day goes to . . . . drumroll please . . . . Brendon Rubie!

His table just broke and he was moved to the feature table that includes Billy 'The Croc' Argyros, Phil Ivey, Emanuel Seal and Tom 'durrrr' Dwan.

Cohen Crunched!

I was just speaking to Julian Cohen and he informed me of a bad beat he was at the wrong end of.

After a raise to 800 from the UTG player and then a re-raise to 1,800, Cohen made it 7,000 from out of the small blind. The UTG folded but the player caught in the middle shipped his 20k stack in.

Cohen snapped tabling Aces to be in great shape against Queens, but unfortunately the dreaded two-outer fell on the flop to sink Cohen down to 15,000 in chips.

Go grab a greasy burger, a souvlaki or a salad because the players are taking a 75-minute dinner break.

See you at 8:50pm!

To steal a line from Jonno Pittock and the Aussie Millions slogan of 'We've seen your poker tournament, and we've raised it.'

We've seen your blinds, and we've raised them!

The cards are now back in the air with blinds at 200-400 and a 50-ante.

Eddy Rivered

On a flop of PokerNetwork's Luke 'eddy' Edwards called his European opponent's all in for just under 8k.

Edwards:
Opponent:

With his opponent walking away muttering something in some type of Skandi language, the safe was dealt on the turn.

Unfortunately for Edwards, the miraculous somehow found it's way out of the deck and onto the river to see Edwards clipped to 8,000 in chips.

Luke 'eddy' Edwards has obviously pushed his earlier bad beat out of his mind as he is now sitting with a very healthy 42,000 in chips.

Somewhere along the way I've turned into a homo little poker otaku... I brushed past Phil Ivey in the foodcourt today and I am sure I got a little hot. =/

Siu-rrific

Opponent:

The board ran out to see Siu get some run-good and double through to over 14,000 in chips.

Following a limp, Jarred Graham bumped the action to 2,100 and both Julian Powell and the limper made the call.

The flop was followed by three checks to see the the peel on the turn and a 4,500-chip bet follow from Powell.

Powell sought a fold from Graham while the opponent caught in the middle made the call to see the land on the river and a check from Powell follow before being faced with a 6,075-chip bet.

After mulling over a decision for a few moments, Powell reluctantly made the call only to be shown his opponent's for a runner-runner straight.

Powell flashed his cards at Graham before exposing them to the table to show that his had been rivered to see him slip to 14,300 in chips.

David Steicke opened to 1,700 preflop from under the gun and after finding one caller, saw a flop fall.

Steicke fired out 2,600 and was re-raised to 6,700. Looking his opponent up and down, Steicke made the call before checking the on the turn.

Facing a bet of 10,000, Steicke called and when the landed on the river he fired out 21,000.

His opponent took his time before making the call, only to see Steicke table his for a runner-runner straight to climb to 96,000 in chips.
