Amen Corner

The 2012 Masters Tournament is a month away, and Augusta National Golf Club sports one of the toughest three-hold stretches in golf; Amen Corner.

Well, we have our own little "Amen Corner" at the featured table right now. Seats five through eight are occupied by David Fox, Garry Gates, Edward Pham, and Josh Brikis. The four players have a combined $2,841,830 in career tournament earnings and 24 cashes at the World Series of Poker.

Right now Gates has the table out-chipped, but fireworks are sure to fly for the rest of the day - that table is tucked away in a corner, and won't break anytime soon.

Wolf Busts Another

Mike Wolf was faced with a 21,000-chip bet with the board reading {q-Clubs}{9-Spades}{9-Hearts}{3-Spades}{7-Clubs}. He moved all in for effectively 80,000 or so, and his opponent called.

Wolf tabled {q-Hearts}{q-Spades} for a flopped full house, and his opponent showed two black sixes before hitting the exit.

"Miami" John Finds the Right Number

The player in the small blind opened for 5,500 and "Miami" John Cernuto called from the big blind. The flop fell {7-Hearts} {4-Spades} {8-Diamonds} and both players checked. The turn was the {3-Spades}, the small blind bet 6,000 and Cernuto called. The river came {8-Hearts}, the small blind checked cautiously and Cernuto took a moment to bet 9,000.

Cernuto must have picked the magic number because the small blind called and sighed when Cernuto tabled {10-Diamonds} {8-Spades} for trips.
