Curt Buettner on W.S.O.P. High

[user38420]

Curt Buettner is enjoying playing at the World Series of Poker. Buettner flew down from Wasilla, Alaska, where it is sunny 24 hours a day right now and the best time of year. With the long cold, dark winters in Alaska, June is not when you want to take a vacation. Playing at the World Series of Poker is one of the few reasons anyone from Alaska would leave during the summer. Let's hope his trip turns out to be worth missing the Annual Summer Solstice celebrations.

Phil Hellmuth Needs an 8

[user39120]

Phil moves all in from the cutoff for his last 1,850, and gets called by the big blind with A K. Phil shows one of his cards - the {8-Hearts}

and says "I need one of these". The board comes out 9 4 K K 8. The opponent has shown Ace King, and Phil exclaims "Yes! Eights Full", but mucks his other card {A-Hearts}

, and is out the door. Phil Hellmuth is out.

Well, That Explains That

[user37786]

We wondered what Steve Dannenmann would do when it was time to leave his current seat and head to the restart of the $2,000 No-Limit event. What he did was move all-in with the massive {8-Clubs}
