Had a really good game tonight at queenspark tavern, starting with 2 tables and only 4 players needing their second stack before first break.

No one was lucky enough to hit quads tonight, but we only paid x3 full houses expecting more to be paid.

As soon as we got final table the first 3 players went out quick fast making it a fast paced final table.

In 4th we seen Rafal Jamm all in with pocket 6s against Ordhans AK and was looking quite god for Rafal until the river came revealing one of 2 cards that could beat him.

In 3rd Jonas got his stack in against Ordhan but was unsuccessful sending him home in 3rd.

Our heads up battle Ordhan had the chip lead against Raewyn, but the hand of the night was when both players limped in Rae was holding 10♥️ 7♠️. Meanwhile Ordhan was holding J♠️9♦️, then we see the flop come out at 4♥️8♠️10♣️ giving Rae top pair but Ordhan had an open ended draw which hit on the turn as the 7♦️ comes out. Rae just 2 pair and only 4 cards could save her as she called for a 7 it came on the river to keep her in the game.

As it was quite even stacks after that hand Hands were played back and forward and Rae lost a big pot to put her back where she was until momentarily gets another double up to remain alive and wins another pot to put her in the lead and the last hand decided the fate and Rae taking another win.

Congratulations Rae 🎉
