A Hundred Hands Ago

Way back in Hand #135, Alan Smurfit was all in and behind with his tournament life on the line. But he caught one of his two outs on the river (the {5-Hearts}) to make a full house and double up in chips.

Alan Smurfit has definitely made the most of his second chance.

Hand #235

Hand #235 - Alan Smurfit has the button, he limps for 120,000, and Morad checks. The flop comes {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}{2-Spades}, and both players check. The turn card is the {Q-Spades}, Morad bets 120,000, and Smurfit calls. The river card is the {6-Hearts}, Morad bets 240,000, Smurfit moves all in, and Morad folds. Smurfit takes the pot.

Hand #233 - Alan Smurfit Doubles Through Qushqar Morad

Hand #233 - Alan Smurfit has the button, he limps for 120,000, and Morad checks. The flop comes {K-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}, Morad checks, Smurfit bets 120,000, and Morad calls. The turn card is the {A-Spades}, Morad checks, Smurfit moves all in for 235,000, and Morad calls. They show:

Morad: {8-Hearts}{7-Spades}{6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}
Smurfit: {K-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Hearts}{5-Clubs}

Smurfit leads with two pair, kings and fives.

The river card is the {10-Clubs}, and Smurfit wins the pot with two pair, kings and tens, to double up in chips.

Hand #232 - Qushqar Morad Doubles Through Alan Smurfit

Hand #232 - Qushqar Morad has the button, he limps for 120,000, Smurfit reraises to 320,000, and Morad calls. The flop comes {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}{10-Clubs}, Smurfit checks, Morad bets 300,000, Smurfit pot-raises, and Morad calls all in for 900,000. They show:

Smurfit: {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{J-Spades}{6-Diamonds}
Morad: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

Smurfit leads with an ace-high straight, while Morad has two pair, aces and kings.

The turn card is the -- {10-Diamonds}! Morad spikes a full house (tens full of kings), and Smurfit is drawing dead. (The meaningless river card is the {9-Hearts}.)

Morad wins the pot to double up in chips.

Hand #231

Hand #231 - Alan Smurfit has the button, he limps for 120,000, and Morad checks. The flop comes {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{2-Spades}, Morad checks, Smurfit bets 120,000, and Morad calls. The turn card is the {8-Diamonds}, and both players check. The river card is the {K-Spades}, Morad bets 300,000, and Smurfit quickly calls. They show:

Morad: {Q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{2-Hearts}
Smurfit: {K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}

Morad wins a big pot with a full house, queens full of eights.
