Loose Black Belt Still Squeezes

Black Belt Poker player Hugh Kirton watched Patryk Slusarek raise pre to 3,900 (the blinds are now 800/1,600) and button Graeme Newman smooth call. Small blind Mike Tse (some history between the two of them - going to be interesting to watch...) folded, and Kirton calmly pushed his whole stack in (around 25k, possibly a little more). Back to Slusarek who dwelled for a seemly amount of time before passing, as did Newman. A nonbeliever at the table queried the genuine strength of Mr. Kirton's hand, and he obligingly showed them exactly what he had: Qh-3h.


Above is John Eames, who is well on track for short-stack grinder of the tournament. Having previously lost a small pot to Michael Greco, he got around that back by shoving over button Meister Vega's preflop raise, taking the pot there.


Also, Dave Colclough is still ticking along, pictured radiating experienced optimism after winning a pot. He's also prepared for any meteorological changes inside the Vic in all-weather FT slicker.
