Gus Hansen and Dario Minieri are sharing a table and recently got involved in a scuffle, out of which Hansen emerged with the upper hand.
They saw a flop, and Hansen checked it from the big blind. Minieri made it 300 from the button, and Hansen called.
Again, Hansen checked the turn, and then called the 500 from Minieri. Hansen checked the river and this time Minieri checked too. Muttering, "I am the worst player," Hansen flipped over . Minieri mucked.
Betfair's John Tabatabai, who finished second in the inaugural World Series of Poker Europe last year, has been enjoying multiple slices of fortune pie during these opening rounds.
Firstly, Tabatabai didn't realise the event was today, and consequently turned up ninety minutes late to find his stack depleted to 3,500. However, right off the bat he was dealt aces, and so duly raised it up.
By the river, Tabatabai had just one yellow 1,000 chip left, but his opponent didn't realise and turned over a flopped full house to spare him his tournament life.
Now, after spiking a nine with versus on a board, Tabatabai is boasting a stack of 9,500 and thanking his lucky stars that his opponent didn't have his eyes on the game.
Just as I was telling Dana that a Tom Broadband exit would supply me with the greatest of titles, over it came, like the receiving of the dead sea scrolls, or another parchment of equal importance.
Of course, this doesn't mean we want to see Broadband depart, but he was up against it in the end, his push with running headfirst into . A board was of no use and moments later he was gone.
Clonie Gowen is out. She was in hot water in the end, her running straight into Bryan Berc's domineering . The two queens on the flop didn't help either.
