They saw a river, and now Suarez impassively bet out 33,000. After a moment's careful deliberation, Dunlop tentatively made the call -- and Suarez folded his hand before Dunlop had turned over for the idiot-end of the straight.

It took a while for the applause to come, as the new announcer, one "Steve from Birmingham" according to Jack Effel who's taking a short break from announcing duties, simply announced that Dunlop had won the pot. Nevertheless, eventually the rail realised that a player had busted, and William Martin got the round of applause he deserved as he made his exit.
Level: 20
Blinds: 5,000/10,000
Ante: 1,000
Nothing happened at all for five minutes, and we began to fear that it was one of those great situations where both players thought it was the other's turn to act -- but eventually Roux checked his hole cards and then handed them back to the dealer, and it transpired that Allen had pushed all in on the river, and got the bet through.
The long pause was explained when Roux admitted that he had folded an ace.
Nevertheless, Suarez is now pretty comfortable after filling up on tasty blinds and antes -- he's sitting on 180,000 right now.
Seat 3: William Martin -- 133,500
Seat 4: Richard Allen -- 180,000
Seat 5: Anthony Roux -- 152,000
Seat 6: Adnan Alshamah -- 360,000
Seat 7: JP Kelly -- 243,000
Seat 9: Neil Suarez -- 122,000
Next hand Alshamah raised under the gun and everyone duly folded. He showed them all pocket kings, perhaps to stop them getting ideas next time.
