We have lost two players in two hands here as the final table of the Grand Prix Poker Tour Old Trafford leg has finally caught fire!
So far at this final table, we’ve lost Lukasz Podyma in 9th for £2,940, Paul Clarke in 8th for £3,740 and Roy Hamilton just left us in 7th for £4,790. The action has never been quicker in this tournament as with the blinds catching players up and the leg itself just over two hours from an enforced ending, the players have decided to go for the win!
Wes Hutchison busted when he shoved all-in from Seat 1 with for 1.4m and was called by Brian O’Connor in Seat 4 with . Interestingly, Joseph Donelon looked tempted to call, and had just 250,000 to his name, but decided to fold in the hope that Hutchison would bust the hand, which he did through the board. Hutchison busts in 6th for £6,320, then.
In the next hand, Donelon was forced to go all-in for half an ante, and his Q-3 was taken down by Dan McNairney’s ‘Back to the Future’ (Ten-Four, Marty!) , meaning Donelon cashes for an impressive £8,440…..not such a bad fold in the previous hand, really!
