Down, But Not Out

Doyle Brunson is down to the paltry sum of 1,700 after raising it up preflop but being forced to fold to a reraise from Martin Davis on the {6-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{Q-Spades} flop. Annie Duke called from the small blind and then bet out 1,200 twice on the {3-Clubs} turn and {4-Clubs} river before showing {A-Hearts}{6-Spades} to take down a nice pot.

According to a giggly Doyle, "I would have won that."

Musical Chairs

Eliminations galore as we've hit that special time in a limit event when people suddenly start to drop. Among the fallen in the last five minutes (literally) are Ben 'Milkybarkid' Grundy, Jesse Jones, and just now Doyle Brunson; the spectators in their little box by the doorway are parting like the Red Sea as arguably the most famous player in the venue makes his way calmly for the exit.

Players are being moved around the room as certain tables knock out their short stacks with alacrity, and the temperature slowly rises. I thought they were breaking Phil Hellmuth/Andy Bloch's table, but no -- both players are just out, too. Bloch said something about kings, with an opponent's fives and deuces (or possibly 5-5-5) housing up to take him out, while Hellmuth waxed a little more lyrical.

"It's a little frustrating," he admitted, "I've played super tight -- aces, kings, aces...and lost every pot. I mean you fly all this way...and so many people play so badly." [pause] "Do they spread Chinese here?"

Don't Bluff a Carrot Cutter

Nikolaus Jedlicka found out the hard way that Jesus Ferguson is not a man to be messed around with, the young Austrian teenager banging the table in disgust before calmly admitting, "nice call," as Jesus called 1.2K on a {5-Hearts}{10-Spades}{4-Clubs}{5-Spades}{K-Hearts}.

We didn't get to see what Mr. Jedlicka was cookie stealing with, but it certainly wasn't enough to compete with Jesus' American Airlines, the bearded carrot-cutting ballroom dancer now jumping up to a rather grand 30,400.

Catman Loses Ninth Life

After a truly unexpected length of time with a grain-of-rice chip stack, doubling to 1,600, dropping to 900, doubling again, Catman finally got it all in preflop in Hold'em with the dominating {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds} against {K-Clubs}{9-Clubs}.

The board emerged {7-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}. Catman made a kind of choking noise, very much like his namesake with a hairball, which suitably represented his feelings about this outdraw. Hard luck for the exotic dance entrepreneur and smooth-headed poker enthusiast.
