Carmine Crumpled

On the flop of [10 2h 5c] Bahri fires out a bet of 100k to get Trevor to fold. The cards are revealed to show Bahri with [ah qh] behind to Carmines [7c 7h].

Carmine takes home $900 and finishes 18th. Next out takes $1100

For the riverlanders at home, Bahri is 2nd in chips with 580k.

Leigh "Roytrudgey" Trudgeon is out in 16th position, and takes home $1100

Tales from the felt
In our inaugural 888pl Grand Final. Their were 4 from the Trudgeon Family that participated in the event. Maureen was the only one to cash picking up $1950 and also 12th position.

Looks like she has the bragging rights so far with best finishing postion so far. But it is only time before Chris "Satanicus" Trudgeon or Leigh get a good run. Truly a poker family.

[Brett Kay]

Haylee has outs
With 5 players going to a flop of [qd jc 6s] they all check to the turn [ac]. Haylee Allen best out with 25k, and is raised all in by Kon Koroneos. After a couple of minutes Haylee makes the call with the [Qc 10c] giving her numerous outs vs Kons [Ah 5s]. The river was not to be with the meaningless [jh] falling to knock Haylee out in 15th position for $1100
