The Knave of Hearts He Stole Some Pots

Danzer: back in the game
Danzer: back in the game
Oh, how cruel the river. George Danzer just received the benefit (though someone has to, I suppose), as his {A-?} {J-?} hit two pair on an {A-?} {K-?} {J-?} flop. His opponent (slightly shorter stacked than him) got it all in on the {4-?} turn, calling when Danzer moved all in. Sure enough, he had {A-?} {K-?} for top two pair, but when another {J-?} hit the river it was no longer good. "Oooooh," went Danzer's entire table as he collected the spoils of the outdraw.

A few hands later, Danzer took down a small pot on a flop of {K-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {A-Clubs} with a bet of 8,000 and showed another two pair, {A-?} {9-?}. That pot increased his count to 344,000 and prompted Danzer to start talking to his neighbors. Danzer claims that he played forty "major" tournaments in a row without cashing, and that when the drought was finally broken, it wasn't in convincing fashion. "I crawled over the finish line," he said. But once he did that, he felt like the monkey was off his back.

The field still has to be cut in half one more time in order for Danzer to make the money here in Monte Carlo, but those 344,000 chips put him in good shape.
