Ho In Da House

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

When we passed Tony Hachem's table we noticed that he was out of his seat and talking to a girl. It wasn't just any girl though, it was prominent poker pro Maria Ho.

Apparently Ho will be playing in tomorrow's Day 1 flight.

Already Made a Final Table

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

"You already final tabled an Aussie Millions. Leave some for the rest of us!" said Tom Grigg at the end of the following hand.

It all started when Sam Capra (the man who Grigg is talking about) opened it from under the gun. The player on the button made the call and it was on the big blind player who put in a three-bet. The other two players made the call and the {k-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{a-Spades} flop was dealt.

On the flop, it was checked to the player on the button who made it 2,100. One player got out of the way while Capra would make the call to see the {7-Clubs} hit the turn. Both players checked on the turn and the {4-Diamonds} would complete the board on the river.

On the river Capra led for 6,000 and then snap-called when his opponent moved all in. Capra turned over his {k-Spades}{k-Hearts} for a flopped set of kings, while his opponent's rivered set of fours would be sent into the muck.

As Capra raked in his new chips, this is when Grigg made his comment from the start of the post. Capra simply replied with a laugh and a, "You've had it pretty good as well.

More Counts

Huntly Out Flops

Gordon Huntly was needing some help if he was going to survive an all in holding {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts} against the {k-Clubs}{k-Spades} and help is exactly what he would get.

It was all in preflop for the two players and when the board ran out {a-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{6-Diamonds}, the ace would be enough for Huntly to survive while Neilson would take a fair hit to his stack.

A Few Counts

Jono Sticking It To David

When we passed Jonathan Karamalikis' table there was a board showing {8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and Karamalikis was in the hand with David Steicke.

Steicke was first to act and he would check on the river. There was over 4,000 in the pot at this point and Karamalikis bet out 1,800. It didn't take long for Steicke to make the call as Karamalikis would turn over his {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}. This was too strong for Steicke who flicked his cards into the muck and sent the pot to Karamalikis.

Croc Letting It Go

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

When we waltzed past Billy "The Croc" Argyros' table there was a flop showing {k-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{7-Spades} and Argyros was involved in a hand against one opponent.

Argyros was first to act and he led out for 2,100. Argyros' opponent then popped it to 5,500, which sent Argyros into the tank. Eventually Argyros let it go saying, "Yeah, good bluff," as he did so.
