Hi Des

Ken and I ended up on the same table together... I had ken sat on my right hand and this Skandie on my left who was an early chip leader. He played 7 out nine hands and that was when he had a normal stack. When he got chips he bullied the table relentlessley. He played Q 8 off and hit two pair [calling an all in when he only had top pair of eights on flop and a possible striaght was on the board] He flopped a straight flush to the jack. [Holding J 7 diamonds] He flopped a FH with J7 off. And he did for ken and myself within two or three hands of each other. Ken hardly played a hand at all and raised holding KK - Villain calls - Flop is three clubs. Ken bets [ He has Kc] Villain raises and Ken is given a choice... Go all in or be shortstacked. Ken went all in... Gets called as he knew he would and Villain has the nuts A9c

I find AQh in the small blind... I took a hit with kings earlier halving my stack - I've now got 6.1K - It's folded around to me - So Do I limp? Do I go all in? Or do I just raise? [bllinds are 150 /300] I raise to 1200. Skandie on BB calls - Flop KQ2 - I don't like the king but I bet 1200 again. He can't be lucky again can he? He raises me all in. Do I call? I've got 3.7k left... I've got second pair against BB I've got an ace. No hearts on board... I have to go for it don't I ? So I call - He doesn't have the king he has pocket 2s - he's hit trips and I need runner runner A or Q or K - or 10 J to beat him. Virtually drawing dead... By the turn I was dead.

Ken hadn't even finished his ciggie before I joined him outside.

So then the only highlight after that was heading over to Dermot Desmonds place with Joe Beevers, Barny Boatman, Scot Gray and Padraig Parkinson... I won a big pot against Barny in Omaha and left five hundred up. Dermot's place is absolute class - They even have TV's in the toilet so if a big race or footie match is on you won't miss a thing whilst you're having a tinkle.

So I took the wife out to a local game tonight... only fourteen runners but she came second and I beat her heads up... winning another 500 between us.

All in all a pretty good weekend.... But Ken is probably now having the time of his life celebrating Pommo's third place in the EPT - with Dubai and co... As they were all out til seven in the morning the night before the tourney [I bottled out at two am lol]

And congrats to Pommo as he doesn't even play live or tournaments that often...

- Ah well as you say there is always next year.
