BOINGBLITZ:
We are now getting to the business end of the first BCPC Premier League season and what a great game we saw last night and by the end of it, all 12 players were left with something to play for with just 4 games left until the live Finals in July.
The winner of the previous game had been Mark Eagles and the 10 points gained then had lifted him into a play-off spot but he got the harshest of lessons in why you don"t slow-play your sets tonight.
With 3 players in the pot on a flop of jc qd :2h: Mark was holding qs qh but he failed to re-raise Will Young and did the same on the 5h turn so when the ks hit the river Will was a happy bunny holding ts 9s and Mark exited in 9th and moved out of the top 8.
At the first break, both Andy Overton and Tony Trippier were struggling while Clive Padden held the chip-lead as he went in search of his first cash of the season and it would be Andy and Tony, both players who are sitting comfortably in the top 4, who would be the next two to exit and score zero points.
The man who took them both out was Tod Wood, himself now struggling at the foot of the table and looking for vital points.
When Tony got the chips in pre-flop holding ah jd Tod made the call with ad th but it looked for all the world like Tod had escaped with a split-pot as the board came 4s 6d 4h 6c until the td sent Tony to the rail and out of the points for the first time ever.
For Andy this was a night to forget. He hardly played a hand and when he did he lost, so when he picked up
:as: ks it was an easy shove, but even then his luck was out as Tod woke up with qc qh and with the board coming down J-high, Andy was gone in 7th.
Tod now had the taste for blood and got it on an innocuous looking 9h 5h :3s: flop. Tod bet, Steve Bayliff raised and Tod shoved. Scouse dwelt for a while before calling with ah 8h against Tod"s 9s 5c and when the board ended with jc qd Scouse became another notch on Tod"s lengthening list of conquests.
Aneurin Venables has so far fallen asleep when heads-up, forgotten to turn up at all last Sunday and tonight he was late due to a bowls game (!).....but he did make the points but shoving with :2d: jd maybe wasn"t the best idea, even on a 6d :2s: 7c flop against Clive Padden"s qd 9c as a 9d on the river saw him leave in 5th place.
That left us with 2 guys in the top 4 (Brian Yates and Will Young) taking on the bottom 2 (Clive and Tod) and it was Brian who was first at risk but his :as: ks outflopped Tod"s jh jc to give him a double-up but when Will had the same hand against Clive"s qc qd he was not so lucky and left in 4th, although with enough points to keep his grip on the lead of the Premier League.
So all 3 players were in the money but Brian was seriously short so seeing Tod raise, Brian insta-shoved his :as: ac and Tod had the odds to call with his jd ts . A th on the flop gave Tod hope but the tc on the river gave him another knockout.
That meant that the bottom two in the League were now Heads-Up and whoever won, that meant that the League points would now tighten up and make for an exciting climax to the Season.
The pivotal hand came with Tod shoving his ad 6c and Clive making the call with 5s 5h and the 5c meant that Clive was our winner to make his first cash of the season.

The next game is 6-handed on Wednesday May 18th.
That will see 3 of the top 4 in action as Will, Tony and Brian lock horns once more and the pressure will be on Tony, playing his penultimate game of the Season.
Steve Redfern has the games in hand to get moving up the table while this week"s top 2, Tod and Clive, return to try and repeat last night"s fine performance.
BOINGBLITZ:
A tough 6-handed game tonight involving 3 of the top 4 players and with the pressure on 4th-placed Tony Trippier who was playing his penultimate game of the season.
Tony made a terrific starts and took down several decent pots in the opening 2 levels but it was Steve Redfern who took the advantage away from him when he raised with ad ks and got a call from Clive Padden with qs jd . The flop was
qc tc 5c and both players checked. When Clive bet the jh turn, Steve shoved and Clive called and the 9c river saw Clive out and still rooted to the bottom of the table.
So with Tony and Steve doing battle to be Table Captain maybe it was inevitable that they would bang heads sooner rather than later. Tony made a pre-flop raise, Steve 3-bet and Tony 4-bet shoved all-in. Steve dwelt before calling with his js jh and was probably shocked to see Tony"s ks qs and when the board came down 8-high, Tony was out with just 1 point to leave his top-4 spot in jeapody.
There then followed an amazing hand. Steve was discussing the previous hand with Will Young when he raised, Tod Wood 3-bet and Steve called. The board came 9c 5h 4c and went check-check.
Steve, still talking about the previous hand said "I would have loved the :2h:.....just as the :2h: hits the turn, which prompted much laughter all round. Tod then bet, Steve raised and Tod shoved his ac ad1 ...only for Steve to reveal :2s: :2d: and the :2c: on the river wrapped it up, to which Steve commented "I said I loved the 2 of hearts !"
3-handed and there were several scenarios.....If Will went out next he would lose the leadership of the League to Brian while Steve needed to win to oust Tony from the top 4.
Will was the short-stack but doubled-up with a flopped flush against Steve to put all 3 players close to even in chips.
Then came Will"s prophetic comment "You two are too tight...I am gonna have to cooler you"
The VERY NEXT HAND, Steve raised and Will called to see a flop of 4s :3h: qd. It went check-check and likewise on the ah turn but when the qs hit the river Steve bet, Will raised, Steve 4-bet and Will shoved with his
qc th only for Steve to reveal he had raised pre-flop with...... :2d: 5d
A long Heads-Up ensued in which Steve held the upper hand throughout but the final hand was a little harsh when Brian raised and Steve called and on a flop of :2h: 7d 8d Brian insta-shoved his 8s qh and got Steve to call with the inferior ts 8h . The jh turn was no help but the th river gave Steve victory and pushed him right up into the play-off zone at Tony"s expense.

This Sunday"s game could be the last-chance saloon for several players as 4 of the bottom 5 go to war in an attempt to edge into that play-off zone.
New leader Brian Yates (6-4) can secure a place at the Final Table with a 3rd place finish or better but he will be up against the in-form Steve Redfern (5-4) who will look to consolidate his top-four spot.
The battle at the bottom will be led by Steve Bayliff (5-2) for whom a win could re-kindle realistic hopes of a top 4 finish. Aneurin Venables (3-1) probably needs a top 2 finishwhile both Mark Eagles (7-2) and Clive Padden (11-4) both have 3 games left but need to get some points on the board from this one.
PantsMan:
Good result for me. Just got to wait on the next one now. It"s certainly going to be an interesting last game!
BOINGBLITZ:
It really has been a fantastic first season and there is still a realistic possibility of all 12 players having a chance of the play offs on the final night.
