    Its a repeat of the 888.com, its in the 1/4's at the mo, and then there is the semi 2 people from each semi go through and they carry the chips they have built from each semi into the final with them.

    I think a guy called fraizer took down the 500.000 top prize if IIRC.

    I remember watching this and liam flood met debbie ? (can't remember her 2nd name) flood has qq and debbie has aa, he pushed she raised, he went all in, he lost, first hand was funny.

    Yep Ollie that was my Dad. I thought he played really well, just wasn't to know that the deck was hitting that American guy in the face. The way I see it anyway on the AA v AQ hand if he'd just called the small re raise (which he was basically pot committed to do) he probably would have gone broke on the flop anyway, as it was queen high.

    yeh, he had a bad seat as that guy kept raising him and appear to be pushing him around a bit, with AQ in the BB and a raise from the SB, you would always come over the top. Have to say, the American played it well, as it forced your Dad into the all in, ie appear to be robbing or pushing him around and he had to make a stand.

    I was supprised to see him fold the A 7 I think when the board was paired.

    WP do.

    I thought he played very well. He said he was really annoyed about the AQ hand, but as you mentioned, it seemed to him that the American was pushing him around a lot.. and he'd had enough. Apart from the 88 hand he was behind every other time, he just got ul IMO... He played all his other hands very well.. and the Q5 was a nice bluff!

    yes, the A7 was a surprisingly good fold considering the money in the pot.. He might have spotted something we all missed... I suppose it's good discipline more than anything.. I have a bad habit of paying off weak value bets.. Stems from PPP when it's +EV due to the amount of weak river bluffs.. but something I'll tighten up on in live tournaments.
