O'Rourke Back Up
The first truly big hand of the last couple of hours has finally taken place. It started when all four players took to a flop. All players checked the flop and the hit the turn. Gordon Huntly checked and Anthony Aston bet 150,000. Liam O'Rourke made the call and so did Stewart Ballard. It was then back on Huntly and he also made the call as all four players saw the hit the river.
This time the play was checked to O'Rourke who bet 400,000. Ballard made the call and Huntly gave a chuckle as he threw his cards away.
"I'm not as good as you, I'm gonna take longer to make my decision," said Aston. Eventually he threw his cards in the muck.
O'Rourke tabled for a rivered flush, trumping the of Ballard for the turned straight.
