BCPC PREMIER LEAGUE 1...WEEKLY UPDATE
1TRW1:
Oh, and well done Will. Meant to say that before.
BOINGBLITZ:
With leaders Will Young and Brian Yates both out of action, Tony trippier knew that a top 2 finish would see him leapfrog both players to take over the lead.
The game started with just 7 of the 9 entrants registered with Andy Overton forgetting and Rob Hewlitt maybe suffering a Las Vegas hangover ??
UK Online Runner-Up from last night and BCPC Heads-Up Runner-Up on Friday, Tod Wood was surprisingly the first player out and as it turned out the only one who didn"t score on the night and that would see him slip close to the foot of the table.
Steve Redfern had won on his last Premier League outing and was favourite to win tonight and was playing a tight game when he made an UTG raise with qd qh and Mark Eagles called.
The flop came down 8d 9c td and it all went in as Mark showed kh tc but the ts on the turn was enough to send Steve out in 6th with just 1 point to show for it.
The actual bottom spot is now occupied by BCPC current Champion Clive Padden, after his exit in 5th made him one of only 4 players (the other 3 occupy the top 3 places in the league) to have scored points in every game they have played so far.
Mark Eagles went in 4th to nab 5 points and Tony Trippier just fell short of the 2nd place required, although his 3rd place tonight did see him move 2nd overall.
That left Steve Bayliff and Aneurin Venables Heads-Up, which held a little irony as these were the bottom two players prior to tonight"s game.
Steve nabbed a big chip lead and despite Aneurin doubling-up once, it all went in on a flop of qs 6s :2s: with Aneurin holding qc 9c and Steve ahead with his qh jh . The turn was 4h and river :2h: which meant that Steve Bayliff"s kicker played and that gave him the victory that saw him rocket from bottom two to top four in one night !

The 6th round of games is Wednesday 20th April and is 9-handed, with leader Will Young on holiday and the struggling Clive Padden and Mark Eagles also sitting that one out.
Tony Trippier starts that game as 7-4 Favourite as he bids once again to take over the lead. Steve Redfern is 2-1 to bounce back while Scouse Bayliff is 9-4 following tonight"s win.
Brian Yates and a smarting Andy "I forgot" Overton are both 3-1 with Tod Wood 7-2. Rob Hewlitt and Aneurin Venables are 4-1 with Paul Foy 5-1 outsider despite his 2nd place finish on his last outing.
1TRW1:
Do you ever get deja vu? Having hit two pair Jacks and Kings on the flop was only worried about QT to give Clive Broadway. Ace on the turn. Yeah but surely he hasn"t got QT..... Oh.
Lost my final 1K in a flip with 88 v AQ so don"t mind that too much, and at least Steve used "em well to go onto win.
Onwards and upwards!
BOINGBLITZ:
Tonights game gave Tony Trippier and Brian Yates the chance to pass the holidaying Will Young at the top of the Premier League but despite getting K-K twice early on, Tony had lost half of his stack just 45 minutes into the game.
By the first break he was up to 2000 but still 9th of 9 with Steve Bayliff making the running as he tried for his 2nd straight win...while at a Barbeque !!
Our first casualty came when there were 4 players in the pot and the flop came down 4h 8s 7h and Tony in the SB bet out and just Paul Foy called. The turn of qc saw all the money go in and Tony"s 8d 7s held on the 9d river against Paul"s th kh to give Paul his 3rd Duck-Egg in 4 games.
Steve Redfern had lost a chunky pot with kh kd when Andy Overton flopped an Ace, so when Aneurin Venables raised him, Steve shoved all-in with ac qh but Aneurin was ahead with his ah ks .....until the flop came down
qc jc 7d . But it all changed on the turn as the tc gave Aneurin the nut straight but Steve had re-draws to both split and win the pot outright but the 8s on the river sealed his fate to leave him pointless tonight.
The 7th place is the "Points-Bubble" and tonight, for the first time, Brian Yates failed to trouble the scorers as he ran
jh jd into Andy Overton"s ks kh .
We then lost 2 players in 2 hands and the first one was an unbelievable cooler for Tony Trippier. On a flop of
5h 7s 4c Tony, holding 4d 5d was delighted when Tod Wood raised his bet and Tony insta-shoved.....only for Tod to flip 7d 7h and the 4h turn and 6s river just seemed to rub it in !!
The next one was unfortunate as Rob Hewlitt ran 7h 7s into Scouse Bayliff"s ad ah .....a sign of things to come for the England Skipper maybe ??
4-handed and the top two players from the last game looked as if they may be repeating their Heads-Up battle from Sunday night but Scouse got short and when he pushed with qc 7c Aneurin called with qd jc and the jh on the flop saw Scouse out in 4th and out of the top 4 in the standings.
Unfortunately, Aneurin then lost connection and missed another monster hand. A flop of :3h: :2h: :as: saw both Tod and Andy betting. The turn of qs saw bet-call but the river tc saw Andy shove and show js kc to outdraw Tod"s flopped straight with 4d 5d .
Soon afterwards Tod shoved with ks jh and Andy called with ac kc and the 8d jd :as: ts 8c saw Tod out in 3rd for 7 points.
We then saw a very sporting gesture from Andy as he sat out to wait for Aneurin to reconnect. He still had a 3-1 chip-lead ......and then we found out.......Aneurin had fell asleep !!
Cue Andy " I would have raped you good and proper had I known that".....which prompted the chat-box comment of "That"s what he told the sheep !"
The final hand saw Aneurin make an ill-timed shove with 7d 9d and Andy made an easy call with ad jc and although a flop of :3h: 8c 6c gave hope to the Welshman, the jh and kh sealed a first Premier League win for Andy Overton to propel him into the top 4.
