FHP WINTER SERIES
Lord Whipp's aggressive and unpredictable play paid off last night... and pocket Aces on the final table put him in a good spot to take down HEAT TWO. Ady Bougourd was always a threat in the heads-up but the Whippet took it down in the end when his Ace, 5 hit a three outer to crack Ady's Big Slick (Ace, King).
1st - Gary Whipp
2nd - Ady Bougourd
3rd - AnteVirusjT
4th - Richard Hansford
5th - Craig Le Gallais
6th - Phil Evans
7th - Lawrence Hansford
8th - John Pendergast
9th - Lenny
10th - Barney Travis
My 3rd place finish puts me at the top of the leaderboard after two HEATS and should guarantee me a place at the final table in March.
Don't forget that in this league, the top ten players on the leaderboard at the end of the series play down for the £1000 and their starting stacks depend upon their points at the end of the series... i.e. we multiply each player's points by 1000 to dictate their starting stacks.
This is how the leaderboard is looking after TWO HEATS:
AnteVirus - 12 Points
Tony G (Anthony Greig) - 10 Points
Gary Whipp - 10 Points
Ady Bougourd - 9 Points
Soxy - 9 Points
Peter Baines - 8 Points
John Pendergast - 8 Points
Helen Prentice - 7 Points
Richard Hansford - 7 Points
I got lucky a few times to hit the top three but of course, was also pumped in a few hands. Ghost called a pre-flop raise and a call, with King, 7 to spike trip 7s on the flop, beating my pocket 9s. I was tilting for a while and pushed with a weak Ace, and was duly doubled-up by the big stack who called with King, 8 suited.
I was short-stacked again with 20 players left in the game and picked-up Ace, 9 suited in mid-position. The chip leader bet, was flat-called, so I shoved the lot in. The chipleader raised to try and isolate me but misunderstanding the raise, the original flat-caller was all-in. My Ace, 9 was up against King, 9 and a weak Queen! I hit a 9 and took the main pot and the chip leader also shed most of his chips to the guy who called by mistake with the King, 9... Oops!
I then got REALLY lucky on the final table when I shoved with pocket 8s, running into Richard's pocket Kings. I rivered another 8 and was looking healthy again.
In the final three, I was short-stacked by some way and Gary and Ady pretty much put me all-in every hand. Ady started putting me all-in blind every hand and I was obliged to finally call with Ace, 9 (again!) Ady flips over King, 10 suited. I was happy to flop an Ace, not so happy to see a 10 on the turn, and gutted to see another 10 on the river!
Evenly stacked, Ady and Gary went back and forth a few times, before Gary is looking dominated with Ace, 5 against Ady's Ace, King... A five on the flop takes down HEAT TWO for Lord Whipp.
