Dan Heimiller, who is currently fourth on the WSOP Player of the Year board, was on the button and had action fold around to him. He decided to put some pressure on the blinds by raising to 125.
The small blind took little time to fold and it was up to the big blind. Determined not to be pushed out, the big blind announced a reraise to 375. Heimiller thought about it, perhaps considering his positional advantage, but opted to fold. He is now down to 4,025.
The player on the button raised to 150 and Liv Boeree made the call from the big blind. The flop came and Boeree checked. The button put out a bet of 125 and received a call.
Both players checked the on the turn and then Boeree bet out 400 when the hit the river. The button simply smiled as he mucked his cards, giving Boeree the small pot. She is still sitting pretty right around the starting stack.
The Doyle Brunson's of the poker world have slowly been pushed out as 21-year old know-it-all whiz kids of the virtual felt are slowly starting to take over.
Unfortunately some of them lack social skills, and consequently here is a conversation that we unfortunately had to witness.
"I already have you classed as an animal" stated the young dude.
"Huh? What do you mean?" replied the chilled out homie.
"You know. I have you classed in my mind already."
"So then what am I?" asked the chilled out guy.
"I can't tell you that! But I would have you as yellow on PS [PokerStars]!" replied the young dude.
"So what is your avatar on FTP [Full Tilt Poker]?" asked the young dude trying to get some additional information.
"Dude . . . I can't remember!" answered the chilled out homie.
"I'm the Panda . . . I wish there was a Cow, because then I would be that!" added the young dude.
"Yeah that doesn't surprise me!" the chilled out dude added.
