Postle Escapes Court-Ordered Debt Following Poker Score...This Time

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Mike Postle
Mike Postle

Rumors that Mike Postle's recent poker tournament winnings were seized are inaccurate, lawyers for Veronica Brill confirmed to PokerNews. But those same attorneys will continue to keep the pressure on the accused poker cheater in hopes of one day collecting a $27,000 court-ordered debt.

Postle finished seventh for $32,703 in the $1,200 buy-in Million Dollar Heater series Main Event at Beau Rivage Casino, an MGM Resorts property. On his final hand, in which he held an over-pair, his opponent Brock Gary tanked for 30 seconds facing an all-in bet before calling with top set.

Although Postle resides in Northern California and is originally from Wisconsin, he has a lengthy history of playing poker in Mississippi, including at Beau Rivage.

Corzo Doubles After Dinner

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The board read {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} and a player had bet 27,000 into a pot of over 85,000. Rodrigo Corzo was contemplating his decision and as the seconds ticked down on the shot clock he announced all in for 35,900.

His opponent called tabling {k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} for a pair of kings with Corzo showing {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades} for top pair. His opponent moved the eight closer to the board, but the river was a brick and Corzo scored the double.
