David Saab Looking To Emulate Steicke

[user92162]

David Saab has a window to Guzzardi's soul

If the PokerNews magazine ever needs a fill in for the David Steicke Mailbag column they need only to turn to fellow columnist David Saab for a sick soul reading substitute.

On a board reading {K-?}

Michael "The Big SiCkO" Guzzardi was contemplating calling a smallish bet from Saab.

"Don't overplay King-Jack" warned Saab several times as Guzzardi contemplated the call.

"I'm not overplaying King-Jack" retorted Guzzardi as he called.

"Ok then" was the reply from Saab as he fired out a bet of 1,700 on the river brick.

"You're an online player, if you have any balls you'll shove" taunted Saab.

This sent Guzzardi back into the tank as he contemplated the call. Eventually he made the call and Saab tabled {K-?}

.

"Of course I'm light value betting" said Saab.

When Guzzardi tabled his {k-?}

the whole table went into raptures over Saab's sick soul read.

How To Win Touraments By Tony G

[user92162]

Tony G has just given Julian Powell a lesson in how to win multi-table tournaments. After spending some time over at the Las Vegas Bar getting a drink and entertaining some of his fans, Tony returned to the table in time to pick up {5-Spades}

against Powell's {A-?}

.

A flop of {5-Hearts}

saw all the money go in. The board bricked sending Powell out of the tournament.

"Who can be more patient than me? I wait at the bar for an hour, come back, flop a set and now i'm back to the bar" said Tony.

He's made good on that promise, last spotted back in the Las Vegas Bar. Maybe Julian Powell will join him?

Savage Savaged

[user90534]

Ben Savage has lost some chips to Milan Gurung after some heavy action on table 29.

The action folded around to Savage who limped in from the small blind, only to find Gurung raising from the big blind to 1,200. Savage reraised to 3,500 and Gurung made the call.

Both men would check down the flop and turn of {9-Hearts}

; Savage checked on the river {K-Clubs}

but Gurung shoved all in, prompting Savage to fold.

After that hand, Gurung moves up to 25,000 in chips. Savage is in strife, dwindling on 5,500.
