Season 3 Game 3 Brian Cruises to victory.

Quite a restrained game on the whole this one. Nothing too crazy happened until shortly before the 3rd level when Gav lost a monster pot to Andy.  Feeling the short stack pressure after that, Gav reached for the All in button with pocket Jacks but they finished 2nd to my KQ and Gav got busted out first, but with the buy ins still on, he reloaded for another 2.5k. That didn't last too long though as shortly after the break, Andy and Gav faced a double elimination at my hands, when my A7 managed to pull off the great escape against Andys pocket Aces and Gavs pocket 6's, in a 3 way all in.

Next busted was Fraser, who's patience was not rewarded....when he did finally get a decent hand, the AK was to finish 2nd to my j 4 after shipping all his chips in with just a couple of blinds left. Still, Gavs early bath means Fraser takes lead in the table.

Next out was Nigel, followed by Finchy in 3rd, can't remember the exact details of the bust outs but I'm pretty sure Brian busted both out.

Heads up was me and Brian, and that lasted exactly one hand. I shipped my short stack with jq and Brian snapped me off with a 10 7 off.
Cards ran out with a 10 and Brian scooped a very decent £100 prize for his troubles.
£10 for 2nd place to me.

Points were awarded: Brian 20, Nick 15, Finchy 12, Nigel 12 (+3), Fraser 6, Gav and Andy 2 points each.

£6 in trip six fund £6 in league fund.

The reigning league champion enjoys a cigar, but has an off night.
