Guzzardi Hits One-Outer to Scoop

Stud Hi/Lo:

Luke McLean had made a full house with sevens full of eights on sixth street; however Michael Guzzardi managed to spike the case queen on the river to make queens full of eights. With a third player caught in the middle making a straight, Guzzardi scooped to jump out to 12,700 chips with McLean back to 4,600.

Card Memory

With so many exposed cards, stud games require players to pay closer attention than flop games. Some people are better at it than others. In a recent razz hand, there were four open deuces spread across the boards of three players. Yet when one of the players raised with a deuce showing, his opponent said, "I think that card paired you." It may have been said tongue-in-cheek, but he seemed pretty serious.

Morton Starts Well

Razz:

David Morton has taken an early pot from Tino Lechich in razz. Lechich led the betting on fifth street, before Morton fired sixth street and the river, forcing a fold from Lechich.

Lechich: (X-X) {8-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{K-Spades} (X)
Morton: ({4-Spades}{5-Hearts}) {3-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{9-Spades} ({6-Clubs})

Morton captured the H.O.R.S.E title at this year's Victorian Poker Championships and will be looking for a repeat today.

Dan Shak Locked Out

Dan Shak has just arrived in the Crown Poker Room looking to buy in today's event, but has just been informed by TD Jonno Pittock that it's already locked out at 12 evenly-formed eight-handed tables.

"Can't you make one table nine-handed?" queried Shak.

Pittock offered a spot on an alternates list, so if someone busts out then Shak could take his seat, but due to the nature of limit games it could be several hours before he sits.

Pittock tried to reassure Shak that it could be sooner than two hours to which Shak replied, "Some of these players are bad, but they're not THAT bad!"

In the end Shak shrugged and decided it wasn't meant to be as he went back to his hotel room.

Hoon Unhappy

Mick Stanton
Mick Stanton
Omaha Hi/Lo:

We caught the action on the river with the board reading {4-Clubs}{J-Spades}{A-Spades}{Q-Spades}{4-Hearts}. Tony Green and Mick "The Hoon" Stanton went to showdown. Stanton tabled {Q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}-X-X for a full house but Green showed {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for a bigger full house to take the pot.

"It's a continuation from f%*!king Tuesday!" barked "The Hoon" as he is off to a shaky start today.

Table of Death

One table caught our eye as our nomination for table of death.

It features Paul Taylor, Jeff Lisandro, Kent Hunter, Danny Mountt, Martin Comer and Van Marcus. Ouch!

Did Someone Offer Grant Levy a Last-Shorter?

Hold'em:

At the river of a {9-Clubs} {6-Spades} {8-Hearts} {3-Spades} {6-Hearts} board, Granty Levy called a bet from Peter Aristidou. Levy held an unimproved {A-Spades} {10-Clubs} and lost to Aristidou's {A-Diamonds} {8-Clubs}.

"How do I keep dominating everyone and losing?" Levy asked. "Keep hitting those three-outers boys."

"If you bust in the first level, that would be impressive," said recent arrival James Potter.

"Don't worry," responded Levy. "I'm trying."
