Poker: Annual Satellite : Heat 3

Heat 3 was a riotous affair, starting with Mick's Daughter who was very pleased to see everyone and wouldn't settle to go to sleep (she is only 7 months old!) Eventually she retired home to bed and the real riot started....

Unfortunately Mick departed soon after his daughter, although loosing a few pots to an aggressive Bill, it was acually Lynn who finally took him out

It was all fairly even after that for some time until Derek put in a large bet into a raggidy looking flop. Roger said he had two pair but was convinced Derek had hit his straight.... but still called the sizeable bet. Dereks even larger bet took the pot uncontested and he showed his pocket 3's, pretty much a stone cold bluff ! This gave Derek a fair lead in chips, but was still anyones game.

Lynn found herself up against her husband again (oooerrr missus) but this time Bill had been agressive once too often as Lynn's ATs had already hit an A on the flop so she took Bill out of the running

It was Lynn all the way again, this time with Andy, who had not seen a hand all night, but Lynns AQ had hit two pair to take Andy's one pair with Straight draw out

At this stage Lynn was chip leader, Derek was second and Roger had around 1000 chips left.

Being short staked with large blinds, Roger was soon all in against Derek but Dereks dodgy hand was better than Rogers, and we were heads up already

The heads up match didn't last long, in the end Lynns cautious play drained her chips quite quickly, in the end Lynns pocket tens got taken by Dereks A3 when an A fell on the board.

Very entertaining game to watch with lots of action going on, and the participants seemed to enjoy themselves also....

One more heat to go then we get to the really exciting stuff !
