Jamie Burland takes UKIPT Champion of Champions chip lead

Jamie Burland takes UKIPT Champion of Champions chip lead

Tuesday, 5 October 2010

Femi Fakinle raised the river of a 2d-7c-9c-Qd-Tc board and Jamie Burdland riffled his stack for an age before calling, only to muck to Jd-8d. While not a game-changing pot, that boost from Burland proved vital to Fakinle.

The next hand was a straight shove and call affair with Burland in the small blind holding 6-6 against Fakinle's A-K. A Q-8-8 flop gave Fakinle some counterfieting outs as did the 9 turn, meaning he could catch a 9, Q, A or K to win.

Alas, he did not. It took the professional dealer, the announcer and two UKIPT champions a frankly embarrassing length of time to determine that Jamie did have Fakinle covered - just - and thus we were still four-handed.

Tenner says Fakinle is busted by the time I return to the arena.
