Our first player eliminated is Wayne Becker.

He got it all in against none other than 2004 WSOP Champion Greg Raymer. Becker holding Pocket Jacks and Raymer holding Pocket Queens. The Flop brought a Jack for Becker, but 3 spades for Raymer. The Turn is a spade giving Raymer a Queen high flush. Becker is unable to fill up on the River and is the first elimination in flight 2.

Gavin Smith and Brandon Schaefer are sitting right next to each other. Although Schaefer was getting owned by Gavin Smith, our favorite Cannuck mentioned, "I'm getting no respect Pauly. They keep re-raisng me.They didn't remember the pocket Queens or A-Q. But they remember the 5-3o hand."

Gavin Smith is the Rodney Dangerfield of Team Full Tilt.

Football American Style

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

The buzz among the Aussies is how much attention Mike Matusow is giving to the American football playoff game on the big screen. Now if it were a cricket match, no one would think any different of the behavior. Different worlds, same poker game.
