Julian Thew Doubles Up

of his opponent and he now has 17,000 chips and is a force to be reckoned with again.
Steve Zolotow Mixes It Up
. Action checked around to a late position player who bet 825. Zolotow called from the cutoff and with the other players folding it was heads up to the turn. The dealer laid down the and both men checked. The on the river prompted the late position player to bet 1,200 of his remaining 3,700 chips. Zolotow nonchalantly placed a stack of over 10,000 across the betting line. His opponent went into the tank for several minutes until eventually a clock was called. During which time he asked Zolotow "You have quad threes huh?" as well as numerous other rhetorical questions. An amused Zolotow played along, often answering the questions sarcastically. Just seconds after having the clock called, the late position player folded and Zolotow stacked the pot. He now commands a stack of just over 18,000 chips.

Fashionably Late
Good Lay Down Mr O'Shea
"I made it 200 after an UTG limper and Markus makes it 400. I call after the limper folds and we see what I think is a great flop of TT5 and I check call a 1,000 chip bet not wanting to lose my customer. The turn is a queen and I check, so does he. The river is a jack which now means if he has decent pair which I suspect I beat none so have to fold to his 1,700 chip bet, I show my kings and he shows me the aces."
Still 8,500 chips for the Irishman usually found online at the Omaha tables.
