Chris Grigorian's Baby Pair Just Enough

The middle position limps in and the cutoff, Mark Vos, raises. Chris Grigorian is all in, in the big blind. The middle position calls. The flop is {5-Clubs}{6-Spades}{K-Spades}. Both check on the side. The turn is {3-Diamonds} and middle checks to Vos, who bets. Middle folds. Vos has {A-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and the middle mucks. Grigorian has {5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and wins, hanging on at 1,600. Vos has 18,800.

"I'm Learning Isolation"

Daniel Negreanu is continuing to dominate his table. It's hard to be in a hand with him without facing two or three raises preflop.

"Do you get a hand every time?" an opponent asks. "I'm learning about isolation," Negreanu replies.

In this hand, his opponent bets, Negreanu raises, his opponent calls. The flop is {5-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{3-Spades} and the opponent bets. Negreanu raises and the opponent calls. The turn is {3-Diamonds} and both check. The river is {8-Clubs} and both check. Negreanu has {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}. His opponent hesitates.

"What do you have, ace-deuce?"

His opponent smiles, flashes A-2 and shakes his head.

Negreanu is up to 38,000.

Legendary Tommy Hufnagle Eliminated

Tommy Hufnagle's opponent looked young and probably didn't know he just knocked out one of the great Omaha Hi-Lo and Stud players in the world. Hufnagle flopped a A-K-Q with J-10 for a straight, but his opponent has A-A and hit queen on the turn for the boat. The river was a nine.

Hufnagle ran with the Golddust Twins in the late 70s and early 80s -- Chip Reese and Danny Robison. The Twins, so the legend goes, arrived in Vegas with $700 between them and ran it up to over $2 million playing poker and gin and betting on bowling and other games. Everything they touched turned to gold.
