Blank Bubbles as Fletcher Straights
Ronnie Blank has become our unfortunate 'Bubble Boy' here at Aspers Casino in Stratford as everyone who remains in the Opening Event of this 888Poker London Live Festival is in the money and fighting for their share of the ��138,600 prize-pool.
Arron Fletcher has dominated every table he's been at from the start of Day 1a to this point, and he opened to 18,000 from the hijack position, with Blank electing to call and leave himself 50,000 chips behind from the big blind.
The flop of saw both men check, but on the turn, Blank moved all-in.
"I'm sorry." said Fletcher, before calling and showing . Blank wasn't drawing dead, however, having flopped the set with pocket threes.
The river was the and that ended Blank's chances and put the field in the money. Fletcher is popular with the other players right now....and has 740,000 chips with which to continue his efforts at winning the title.
