S.H.O.R.N.P.E.T?

As you might have noticed, some of the visitors to our "Shout Box" have been devising some creative acronyms for today's mix of games. Well, they're not alone.

Chris Reslock just handed one of our field reporters his own list, with the "P" standing for pot-limit Omaha and the "N" for no-limit hold'em.

How about S.H.O.R.N.P.E.T.? Or S.T.E.P.H.O.R.N.? Maybe H.O.R.N.P.E.S.T? Or S.H.O.P.R.E.N.T.?

Suggestions are welcome.

Gary Benson Crippled

Gary Benson heads to the first break with only two green 25-denomination chips left in his stack. In a NLHE hand against Jeff Madsen, the young gun turned quad threes, holding 3-3 on a board of K-J-3-3-Q. Benson rivered second pair holding A-Q, and his stack was decimated.
