SUMMER DEEPSTACK XIII
The sun was shining and while we couldn’t play outside due to
limited space, the 13th running of our annual Deepstack proved to
be a massive success as we saw a record-equalling 39 players
generate a record prizepool, after 18-rebuys and 37 add-ons
boosted the total to £3200.
It was the first time that we had used the Horse And Jockey for a
BCPC game and the consensus of opinion was that it certainly
won’t be the last…a superb room for poker and great food to boot.
A highlight from my own table in Level 2 was a 3-way all-in on a
flop of 3-4-5. The hands were A-2, 2-6 and 6-7, meaning ALL THREE
flopped the straight….the 6-7 held.
GAZ HOWARD turned up fashionably late and had to rebuy after
just ONE HAND….but then later doubled-up with 6-3 on a 6-A-6-J
board vs J-J….rivering quad-sixes!
By 11.30pm we were down to the last Final Table and TONY
GRIFFITHS was now looking good after having back-to-back
hands where he got it in with 10-10 vs AK on both occasions. Both
times it came Ace on flop, 10 on turn !
Steve HEALEY in 9th & NATE POULTON in 8th were the 2 players
who failed to cash before BCPC Champion MATT KAY was out 7th
for £100.
ADAM SMITH was the shortstack when his cards got accidentally
mucked by the dealer, after he had raised….but we all know you
should always protect your cards and not long after, AdAM exited
in 6th for £150 with GARETH RICKHUSS going 5th for £250.
So down to the last 4 and the chip-lead moved around several
times before AL HACKETT went in 4th for £400.
TONY GRIFFITHS & JACK HIPKISS went Heads Up in Deepstack
VII, won by TONY. It was not to be this time though as TONY
shoved K7 on the button, only for JACK to reshove his pocket 8’s,
which held to send him to Heads-Up with MARK POWELL.
JACK been beaten H/U in DSVII by TONY & DSVIII by HITENDRA
PATEL, but this was to be 3rd-time lucky. He shoved his pocket 6’s
and got a call from MARK with A-5, but despite flopping a 5, there
was no more help for MARK, who was runner-up for £750 with
JACK lifting the trophy, plus his £1k booty
