No Nguyen for Men

[user4144]
[user4144]
Stud 8:

Sadly for his adoring fans, of which there are many from my experience at WSOP events, Men Nguyen will have to wait another few days before adding to his bracelet collection, after being snipered down by fellow pro Hoyt Corkins.

With a {7-Hearts}{9-Hearts} visible and a {3-Spades}{6-Clubs}{J-Spades} behind, Nguyen moved all in against Corkins, who held {J-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{A-Spades} in the hole and {10-Spades}{2-Hearts} on the felt.

A subsequent {4-Spades}{6-Diamonds} wasn't enough to save Nguyen, who succumbed to Corkins's {4-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} and resulting pair of tens, both players missing the low.

Is Honesty the Best Policy?

One player that has emerged as somewhat of a success story today is Tim Frazin. Known as 'Pizzaman' due to well... owning a couple of pizza joints, Frazin has somehow survived a tough table of Greg Raymer, Hoyt Corkins and Todd Brunson without having any really knowledge of the games being played.

"They can't read me," confessed Frazin, "because I don't know what I'm doing."

Frazin is currently on 11,000, but hanging on determinedly. As a fellow blogger said, "The Pizzaman's just trying to earn a crust." Sigh.

Mehrmand No More

Stud 8:

Excitable and impressively coiffed Davood Mehrmand has busted out, sticking his chips in with a pair of Kings against an opponent holding {4-?} {4-?} {3-?}. Mehrmand went on to make a club flush, but his opponent made a full house on seventh street to send him to the rail.

Gallo's Humor

Mark Gallo, rather quiet up until now, has just scooped a hefty three-way pot with the double nuts. Holding {A-Hearts} {3-Spades} {6-Spades} {7-Spades}, Gallo bet all the way down the {5-Spades} {K-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} board. Allen Cunningham called down to the turn but folded on the river; John Racener, however, called the whole way down and just mucked on the river when Gallo flipped his cards.

Gallo up to 51,000.
