Hunger Strike

Tom Dwan and Sam Trickett are waiting to order food, and they're starting to get impatient. Sam said he's leaving if he doesn't get food soon, and Dwan said he will refuse to rebuy til he's eaten. "I'll sit here and grind a $1,700 stack. That's my penalty."

Prop Negotiating Cont.

Finally, Patrik Antonius has a taker for prop betting flops. Sam Trickett tried to negotiate down to $10k a pop, but Antonius said he wouldn't agree to anything less than $25k. Trickett agreed and took hearts and diamonds, leaving Antonius with spades and clubs. If a flop comes out with three of their suit, they get $25,000. Be warned, Sam. Antonius runs really well at these.

Bord Wins Pot, Still Tilted

James Bord won a small pot on a {q-Spades}{7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop. But he was so focused on the hand that he forgot to pay attention to the props. Apparently he and Tom Dwan had agreed on a bet right before the hand, and he missed the fact that his cards hit on the very first hand. The mistake cost Bord $7,000. Of course, Dwan pointed this out as soon as the board hit the muck. Bord jokingly stormed off but presumably will be back after quick bathroom break.

Oppenheim Trips Up

Tom Dwan dubbed this "the never ending hand." David Benyamine raised the button, and David Oppenheim defended his blind. Slowly.

Flop: {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} - Oppenheim checked, and Benyamine bet a considered $4,200. After a minute, Oppenheim called.

Turn: {a-Clubs} - Another quick check and painstaking bet of $10,800 from Benyamine. Oppenheim tank-called.

River: {a-Spades} - Snap-check from Oppenheim, but Benyamine didn't take the bait and checked behind. Oppenheim tabled {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} to scoop the pot with trip aces.

Dwan was just glad it was over.

Duck, Duck, Duck, Duck, Goose

We caught the action of this big hand on the river. The wheelalicious, then double-paired board read {4-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}. Patrik Antonius bet $60,000. His only opponent, David Oppenheim, calmly moved all in for another $76,200. Antonius didn't look thrilled about it, but he announced a call.

"Quads," Oppenheim said instantly. His {2-Hearts}{2-Clubs} was sweet enough to bag a $370,000 pot.

Oppenheim Unstoppable

Sam Trickett opened with a raise, and David Benyamine called. Then on the button David Oppenheim reraised to $14,000. Trickett called, and with a shrug, so did Benyamine. "If you can flop it, I can flop it," he said to Sam.

Flop: {k-Hearts}{j-Spades}{6-Hearts} - Trickett and Benyamine checked to Oppenheim, who bet $24,000. Only Trickett called.

Turn: {9-Spades} - Trickett checked again, then thoughtfully called a bet of $52,000.

River: {6-Spades} - One more check, and this time Oppenheim fired $81,000. Trickett tanked for four minutes before quietly calling. Oppenheim showed {k-Spades}{k-Clubs} for top boat. He's on quite the roll. This $350,000 pot is on the heels of a small win and an even bigger pot.
