With approximately 12,000 in the pot and the board showing , Guillaume Darcourt bet 5,400 and was raised by Matt Glantz to 12,500. The one other player in the middle of the two folded and after a few moments of contemplation, Darcourt made the call.
The river was the and the pink-haired Darcourt checked. Glantz did not think long before announcing that he was all in. Darcourt would take a bit longer before making his decision, taking his headphones off and pushing his glasses up while he mulled it over, but would in the end decide to err on the side of caution and fold.
We got to the table with 5,000 in the pot and Kevin Song facing a 10,000 check-raise of his original 3,000 bet from Barry Hutter on a turn. Song made the call and off to the river we went.
It was the and Hutter announced that he was all in, for approximately 16,000. Song called, not instantly as his hands seemed to stick to his cards, and when he turned over for the turned nuts to eliminate Hutter and his , Tony Cousineau joked "Kevin, next time turn that hand over a little quicker, that was kind of a slow roll."
Song is off to a good start with nearly 2.5 times the starting stack.
During the recent break Robert "Uncle Krunk" Panitch stopped by to inform us about the "worst beat I ever took in my life."
According to the man they call Krunk, he held in the hole and found a set on the flop.
Jean "Prince" Gaspard called a bet of 1,500 on the flop holding for a gutshot straight draw, which he filled when fourth street came .
Krunk says the money went soon went into the middle on the turn, and after the river failed to pair the board he was forced to ship about half his stack to the newly doubled Gaspard. Krunk was left with 20,000 or so after the bad beat, and within an orbit he was done and dusted, with poker's Prince beginning his descent.
