888PL CHALLENGE DIVISION SEMI-FINAL!

[Bacon]

Cliff notes?

AQ < A8

[Scotty]

From memory;

Blinds 5k/10k/2k (ante might be wrong)

Folded to Jo in mid/late position (5 handed), who raised to 25k. Pete re-raised all in for around 80k from the blinds, and had Jo covered by 15-20k.

Jo tank called, rolled Ah8h, and Pete flipped AcQc.

Flop came 6 7 9 (or 5 6 7, can't quite remember) - giving Jo an open-ended straight draw, and hit it on the turn.

And the river made 6 card straight

Yeah, that was a sick hand and absolutely made a huge difference. Apart from doubling me up at a crucial stage, it crippled Pete who was one of the most dangerous players left at that stage.

I knew he was in front, but had the choice of throwing my last 30k into a 110k pot, or folding and getting blinded out within 4 hands....
