"Shuffle up and deal" across the card room and we are off.

Nice to see many familiar faces here this evening...

Even nicer of the computer to put a nice fix on table 4, seats 1, 2 and 3...



Not the only bit of dodgy seating arrangements, all sure to make for some interesting hands.

Good luck to all of the 40 players starting...

As more players join, there is a random selection to open a new table...

Luthee13:
I catch the end of a hand with Simon Lawlor and Karen Mead the only two holding cards by the river.



The board is Qd 6d 9d 4c 7c

The pot looks to be around 3k at this point and Karen, to act first, says "same again" and flicks in 700.

Simon tanks for a moment befor saying "go on then, I"ll pay you off" and puts the call in.

Karen shows the 7d 8d and announces flush.

Simon shows 10c 10d and Karen takes a sizeable pot.

Bigfella42:
Ger is off to a good start someone tried to bluff him on the river so he went all in and won a 16k pot.
