Not only has Kev won two in a row, he also eliminated me from both tournaments!

Last week his Ace, Queen dominated my Ace, Rag and this week my King, Queen failed to find a pair, whilst his pocket 5s (or 4s, can't remember) found 4 cards to hit a straight on the turn!

Maybe I will win a hand against Kev next week?

The tourney held no joy for me but the cash game didn't let me down. Pocket Aces held twice, once against the Dragon when he hit top pair on the flop and then against SmallyBoy when we both hit the Clubs Flush but I was holding two black Aces.

In the last hand of the night, we saw the sickest call the club is ever likely to see. Gary builds a big pot with Rock all-in blind and Kev along for the ride. On the flop, Kev makes a big move with what turns out to be 5, 3 on a King, 7, rag board... so 5 high! And Gary calls with... 6, 3!!! An Ace comes on the Turn, and it turns out that Rock is sitting on Ace, 10 and wins the main pot, but the river is a blank for the 5 and 6 high and Gary takes down about £400 from the side pot...

Kev will be having nightmares about that hand for a while...

See you Sunday for the DOUBLE CHANCE FREEZEOUT!
