George’s £7,500 could buy him into a lot of Fox Poker Club Tournaments. This Spring the Fox has £200,000 in Guaranteed Prizepools. Every Tournament in May has a Guaranteed with games every day at 2pm, 7pm and 11pm. Buy-ins range from £20 up to £100. Monday Nights 7pm £100+£10 £4,000 Guaranteed Prizepool.

It’s clear now that Jen is the player to beat as he sits on over two thirds of the chips in play. Krysztof wastes no time in challenging him as they get it All-In.

George Achillea has been crippled after a losing a coinflip against Jen-Yue Chang. With the blinds at 20,000 – 40,000 Jen opened raising to 95,000 with . George thought for quite a while but we suspect that this was for effect as the Streaming table shows us he is holding .

As soon as George announces All-In Jen has called and it’s off to the races.

The flop leaves Jen in front with his Jacks

The turn and George rockets into the lead with a pair of Kings

But the river is a killer completing a straight for Jen-Yue.

George is crippled down to about 220,000. He must be glad they made the deal now which means there is no difference between a 3rd place finish and 2nd.

After about three levels of three handed play the stacks are about even with each player holding just over a million in chips. A deal is struck. Each player will bank £7,500 with the balance to the winner. This leaves the new payouts as…

1st £10,160
2nd £7,500
3rd £7,500

Romano Pizzo could only go so far he got it All-In agains Krzysztof Jaromin and the rail and other players said it was looking like a chop after the flop fell.

The flop

Pre-flop Romano had gone for the anti-luck by saying, “Give him the nine – I wanna go home!”

The Turn seemed to confirm that this was destined to be a split pot

The River had something different to say. Romano is our 4th place finisher and collects £4,050 and the award for the most entertaining player of the tournament. We hope to see him back. He mentioned that he will be playing the Palm Beach Big Game tomorrow so we wish him luck!

The board ran out

When the fell on the river we think that Neil has got there with the straight but Jen points out that he has the house. Neil get just over three bags for his troubles, he certainly didn’t have much luck on this final table.
