Karr needs his coffee.
Some people in the tournament room are feeling a little choppy this morning. After a recent hand we might add McLean Karr's name to that list.
There were almost 60,000 chips in the pot when we got to the table. It appeared that James Casement opened with a pre-flop raise that Karr re-raised. Casement called to a flop of and checked. Karr led out for 25,700, sending Casement into the tank. He played around with his chips for more than a minute before moving all in. His raise immediately drew a deep sigh from Karr.
"I need a count," said Karr. "I should have just shoved the flop." The raise back to him was 39,700.
"There's a little over 100,000 in there," he estimated. "The math says call but I have you on jacks or something."
"I've got ace-king here. I'm just trying to decide whether to call or not." Ultimately Karr decided to fold, prompting Casement to proudly turn up for a straight draw.
"Nice bet," said Karr. "Interesting flat with your stack size."

James Akenhead raised from the hijack seat to 9,900 and was called by Michael Woods in the cutoff seat. The two players took a flop of and both checked.
The turn was the and Akenhead checked. Woods fired 20,000 and that was enough to win him the pot.

Matt Woodward came running a tad late to the start of the tournament and without I.D. He talked with the tournament staff and they verified that he was good to play and went over to his seat, which was at Table 1, in Seat 8. But, Woodward sat down in Seat 7 at his table and the dealer gave him his chip bag. Without looking, Woodward opened the bag, which actually belonged to Michael Woods who wasn't here yet, and emptied the chips.
He posted his ante and then the big blind before action began on the first hand. A player raised and action folded around the table to Woodward. He folded his hand as well and then Woods came over and said that Woodward was in his seat. The floor staff was called and Woodward was bumped over one seat where his bag was. He emptied his chips and began to stack them.
Woods wanted the staff to pull his bag out of the garbage and verify his chip count, minus the ante and big blind that he had posted. They did so and everything was squared away.
Interestingly enough, Woodward gets to have his big blind attacked two hands in a row now.
