To Call or Not To Call?

Two big hands to report - without bustout, but full of drama:

Luke Trotman is put to the test, seeing a flop of Kh-Kd-2s with Jamie Brown. Brown puts in a stack big enough to cover his opponent, who tanks for ages... and calls with 5h-5s. Brown taps the table, acknowledging the nice call of his, er, 3d-7d - it holds and Trotman doubles up nicely. We can't be all flattering about his play AND put a good pic up, though, of course.


Over on Table Colclough, a blind on blind battle gets big between sb Martin Silke and bb Dave Colclough. While passing pre, Andreas Hagen accidentally exposes the 4h. This is going to be important. Silke completes, Dave checks. Flop: 4c-8s-4d. Silke leads 20k...call. Turn: 3c. Now a bigger bet... but still nothing huge. Call. The river brought the Th and a swift bet of 80k from Silke. Colclough thought and thought... and called, mucking in slow motion when Silke showed down the 4s-Qh.

"Probably didn't help that the 4h was exposed," comments perpetrator Hagen. "Nice play!" he adds. "The Force is with You!"

"Maybe you should take better care folding," says DC with a smile.
