Chris O'Rourke Doubles

[user253757]

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Chris O'Rourke is called "The Mute" by his pals

Chris O'Rourke was on life support with just a few big blinds left, so he shoved all in for 73,000 from the cutoff and asked for a call.

The action folded around to Ryan D'Angelo in the big blind, and he responded by telling the table "I don't think I can fold anything here."

After taking a peek at his cards D'Angelo winced and exhaled, obviously displeased that he would be forced to battle with a ragged hand, but he stayed true to his word, calling the bet and tabling the lowly .

O'Rourke - who has been dubbed Chris the Mute by his good friend James "Big Show" Calderero - lived up to the nickname, talking his way through the hand and calling for cards. The final board came down and with that O'Rourke got back up off the mat. On the very next deal he loudly announced himself all in once more, and the table folded dutifully around

Black Jacks Down

[user253757]

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Tony Dunst has always been a ladies man, but he likes them a little more after a recent double

Tony Dunst opened for the standard raise from under the gun, and next to act Ray Qartomy three-bet to 90,000. Qartomy had to pull that bet out from a pile of chips dragged in from the last hand, and although we weren't there to catch the action, table talk afterward suggests Qartomy held two black jacks and found one of their red brothers on the turn.

In any event, he made the three-bet to force folds around the table, leaving Dunst to four-bet shove for 390,000. Qartomy made the quick call and tabled, of all hands, .
