G On Fire

[user46392]

Tony G raised to 2,000, only for Thomas Hammerl to reraise to around 6,000. "Ok," said G as he called, leaving himself only 5,000 or so behind, "There's no way you can win."

Flop: {7-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} {2-Hearts}

Hammerl instantly announced all in, and G called.

Hammerl: {A-Spades} {K-Diamonds}
G: {2-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}

Turn: {Q-Spades}

River: {Q-Hearts}

Tony G's two pair took the pot, and no second bounty for Hammerl just yet.

Where Are My Chocolate Balls?

The hotel owner just arrived into the cardroom, gleaming from ear to ear as he clutched onto a box of chocolate balls. Every player and member of staff received a complimentary chocolate ball, as well as a couple of random railers, but your intrepid reporter was left empty handed. It just goes to show that good looks don't get you everything in this business.

It's not all bad though, PokerNews' interviewer extraordinaire Gloria is on her way to grab me a coffee. She is officially under the Beagle thumb and saying, "budge up" to Dana.

Simon Says, "You're Out"

Istvuan Pap raised to 1,200 from UTG, and Simon Kullenberg made the call from the small blind. On the {10-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} flop, both players checked, only for Kullenberg to lead out for 1,000. Pap flat-called.

A {3-Clubs} on the river led to a check from Kullenberg, followed by an all in from Pap. After shrugging his shoulders, Kullenberg called the 1,525 and tabled {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}. Pap had {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}.

G Hits the Spot Against Pennisi

Very lucky man

Tony G has most unfortunately knocked out Omar Pennisi, the G man's {Q-?} {10-?} coming good against Pennisi's {K-?} {10-?} when a queen came down on the turn.

"We're reinventing the wheel here," said Guoga, "You don't have to have the best hand."

And indeed, very shortly afterwards, Tony G called Daniel Perfeito's push, and it was a painful and far from perfect end to the tournament for Perfeito.

Perfeito: {Q-Spades} {Q-Clubs}
G: a lackluster {10-Spades} {8-Diamonds}

Board: {5-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} {K-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {8-Hearts}

Ouch.
