The Master Taught a Lesson

[user66118]

We again join the action on the flop for this hand. The dealer spreads out {A-Spades}

. Action is checked to Men "The Master" Nguyen, who puts out a bet of 600, and his lone opponent, Mike Michnik, makes the call from the small blind.

The turn card is a {5-?}

, and once again play checks to Nguyen. This time he puts out 800 chips, but Michnik comes over the top for 2,500. The Master makes the call.

Fifth street is a {2-?}

, and Michnik relinquishes control of the betting, giving Nguyen the opportunity to bet 5,000. Apparently, that was the plan, as Michnik then comes over the top again, going all in for 9,000 total. Nguyen makes the call, and his opponent flips over {4-?}

for a full house. Nguyen looks frustrated, and tosses his cards into the muck. After the hand, Men The Master is left with about 3,750 in front of him, while Michnik sits pretty with a big stack of 27,000.

Yang Massaged

[user66118]

Jerry Yang just called for a massage therapist. When she arrived at his table, she very deliberately explained the cost, "Okay sir, do you know it's going to be two dollars per minute?"

Yang simply shrugged.

He'll be broke in about four million minutes.

Tom Savitsky Triples Up... With the Worst Hand

donpeters

An under-the-gun player bet 600. Two players called from middle position, including Tom Savitsky, along with the cutoff. The button raised all in, making it 3,800 to go. Everyone folded, even the original raiser, to Savitsky who called all in for 3,000 total. The cutoff also called the reraise and had both players covered.

Savitsky: {8-Clubs}

Cutoff:

Button:

The flop gave the worst hand the best hand when it came {Q-Hearts}

. The turn came the {7-Clubs}

and the river the {10-Diamonds}

, and allowed Savitsky to triple up and then some.

. He has been eliminated from today's play.
