Miles to Go

We thought that with so few players coming back today, and the inherently crazy and high-variance nature of PLO, that we would have lost a decent chunk of the field already.

This is not the case.

The clock has been running for around 15 minutes and not one player has been lost - given the pace towards the end of yesterday, this is most unexpected.

Just now we saw an attempt to get all the chips in but to the disappointment of John Kabbaj, at least, all the chips returned whence they came at the end of the hand.

We found Kabbaj betting out around 4,000 from the small blind posiiton on a {9-Spades} {8-Clubs} {6-Clubs} flop. Andrew Miles thought about it for a long time, long enough for Kabbaj to get in an impressive yawn. Eventually Miles called.

They saw a {q-Spades} turn and this time Kabbaj bet 12,400 which looked a lot like a pot-sized bet. Miles went all in, Kabbaj called, and the cards were on their backs.
