Tight Is Right

[user40108]

In the ten or so hands played since break, we've still yet to see a showdown, or even sixth street. The play is pretty standard at this point. The player with the best hand will bet and get called by an opponent with a slightly weaker hand. When the player with the weaker hand is an obvious dog, they give the hand up.

Viox Spreading It Around

[user40108]

Chris Viox just gave up a few more chips. This time they went the direction of Chris Klodnicki. These two went to showdown and, not unlike in the hand against Greenstein, Viox was in disbelief when his hand came out second best.

Viox showed a {9-?}
