RW vs. RDW; Mel Judah Calls the Boy's Bluff

[user46298]

Hand 1: Darren Woods seems to want in on the Chat Action (especially as Tony G seems to have gone on an extended and unscheduled break, leaving his chips on the table)...he's been needling Roland de Wolfe and just won a pot which was significant in size to a short stack like he is currently. On a flop of {A-Spades}

Darren Woods checked it to de Wolfe, who bet 1,800 into the pot of 3,500. A lengthy think, and Woods called him. The turn brought the {10-Spades}

and a quick check from both of them. Suddenly, as the dealer went to burn and turn for the river, Woods flung his remaining 3,100 in - blind - for the {6-Spades}

river. Roland was having none of it, and tossed his hand in the muck. Woods said, "So weak?" and when he was told an Ace was good, couldn't seem to resist flipping the {J-Diamonds}

in his hand which had turned a rather pleasing gutshot straight.

Hand 2: Threeway to the flop - big blind Mel Judah, cutoff Roy Brindley and button Maria Demetriou. Roy was the bettor (300) as the {2-Diamonds}

emerged, but both players called him. The {4-Clubs}

on the turn saw no action at all, but the {10-Spades}

river brought a bet of 700 from first to act Judah, raised sharpish by Roy the Boy to 2,100. Maria got out of the way, but Mel Judah called pretty quickly with {9-Clubs}
