Nally Busts Two; Muir Thriving

zedmaster84

Niveau 9 : 300/600, 0 ante

Preflop a short stack was all in for a mere 1,700 out of the big blind and he was called by an opponent in late position and Ronan Nally in the small blind. On the flop, Nally check-called a bet before check-raising the turn to pick up a call. Nally bet the river and the sole remaining active player called all in.

Nally turned over for the nut straight and neither opponent could beat that. Nally earned a few chips more after a low earned him half the pot against a flush and a straight, but he is not the biggest stack at the table just yet. That honor currently belongs to Frank Muir.

Niveau 10 : 400/800, 0 ante

Earlier in the day Craig Chait was left with just three chips and has since spun up that stack nicely, padding it out further after the following hand.

Chait raised from under the gun and picked up two callers in the hijack and the small blind. A continuation bet followed on the flop and both opponents called. After the turn, the small blind check-folded to a second barrel while the hijack called once more.
