Poker: Annual Satellite 2007 : Heat 4

There were only 4 of the White clan playing but still proved to be an entertaining and thrilling match.

After a tense start the brothers starting winding each other up, with Jon being a particular target by Ant. Ant had Jon wobbling a little bit with baits about Kings, which you probably had to be there to understand, but in the end Ant was the first out. Simon was low on chips and went all in with Darren. Despite being well behind, Simon hit his 4 outer on the river to double up and put him into a strong position.

A weakened Darren struggled to make progress and was next out.

There was then a battle of the titans, with chips moving back and forward between Jon and Simon. The chip stacks were pretty even and each was winning and loosing hands.

It took a monster hand for both to end the match.... Jon hit his K flush on the river after Simon had been betting (relatively) small amounts each round. Simon had flopped a Full House so Jon was always beaten, but had both played well to get to their relevant next round matches.

All to play for in the second place playoffs and the Final table is beckoning !
