G Hits the Spot Against Pennisi

[user46392]

Tony G has most unfortunately knocked out Omar Pennisi, the G man's {Q-?}

coming good against Pennisi's {K-?}

when a queen came down on the turn.

"We're reinventing the wheel here," said Guoga, "You don't have to have the best hand."

And indeed, very shortly afterwards, Tony G called Daniel Perfeito's push, and it was a painful and far from perfect end to the tournament for Perfeito.

Perfeito: {Q-Spades}

G: a lackluster {10-Spades}

Board:

Ouch.

Where Are My Chocolate Balls?

[user4144]

The hotel owner just arrived into the cardroom, gleaming from ear to ear as he clutched onto a box of chocolate balls. Every player and member of staff received a complimentary chocolate ball, as well as a couple of random railers, but your intrepid reporter was left empty handed. It just goes to show that good looks don't get you everything in this business.

It's not all bad though, PokerNews' interviewer extraordinaire Gloria is on her way to grab me a coffee. She is officially under the Beagle thumb and saying, "budge up" to Dana.
