Ladbrokes Poker Million VII
Line-up
Starting Stack: 100,000 Chips
Three plays to go through to the final carrying their chips with them.
The Match:
Devil Fish was the first out - very unlucky with A K vs A Q with Svein hitting a Q on the flop.
Next to go was Tony G.
Third player to go was Sammy "Any Two" George.
Five players left now with three to qualify.
The Booky hasn't had a hand all evening.
The blinds are 5,000 and 10,000.
O'Dea makes it 20K to play.
The Booky squeezes a pair of 10s and with a 81K chip stack the Booky moves all in.
O'Dea thinks and thinks and finally calls with A, 8 - Dead man's hand.
The flop comes out Q 8 3 - Rainbow.
The Turn card is an A, the River an 8.
O'Dea hits a Full House and it is goodbye to the Booky.
Having played so patiently with no hands the Booky got all his chips in good shape only to be out drawn.
Marty Smyth, Owen O'Dea and Petter Nielsen went through to the final where Marty Smyth became Poker Million VII champion with Eoghan O'Dea the runner-up.
