John Hennigan in Trouble

John Hennigan bet the whole way showing {5-Hearts}{10-Spades}{6-Spades}{2-Diamonds} but Lyle Berman called him down with {K-Hearts}{3-Spades}{3-Clubs}{J-Spades}. At the river both players checked as Berman flipped over ({8-Spades}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}) for two pair which was good as Hennigan mucked saying he only held a pair of tens.

Berman is going strong with 28,000 while Hennigan doesn't have room for any more mistakes as he is crippled to only 2,350.

Mess with the Buss and You'll Get Thrown Under One

While watching the action near Jerry Buss's table we noticed this rather large fellow sitting over at the side in a laker shirt watching Buss's table very intently. As expected, we found out that this gentleman is one of Jerry Buss's bodyguards. When your the owner of the L.A. Lakers, you can't have too much security.
