Daryl Jace Has Great Hair, But No Chips

Aaron Massey respects a good head of hair.
Aaron Massey respects a good head of hair.

Daryl Jace has been MIA for the better part of Level 6, and, thanks to Aaron Massey, we finally found out why.

According to Massey, Jace busted in a hand where he opened, a player called, and Massey put in a three-bet. Jace four-bet, Massey five-bet to "around 11,000," and Jace tanked for two minutes before six-bet shoving all in for around 40,000.

Massey tanked for 20 seconds, then called with two kings. Jace had ace-king, and the board did not improve his hand.

"He had the best head of hair in the room," Massey told us.

We guess that's a decent consolation prize, but it's certainly not worth the $2,500 entrance fee.

Kuba Takes from Mizrachi

Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi led out for 6,075 on a board of {5-Spades}{10-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{2-Clubs}. Matt Kuba, who won Event #1 of Mohegan Sun's Summer Showdown Series in August, made the call.

The river was the {q-Hearts}, and Mizrachi tanked for close to a minute before firing 8,500. Kuba made the call, announcing, "Two pair."

"Two pair?" Mizrachi echoed, flashing only the {a-Diamonds}.

Kuba tabled {k-Spades}{q-Spades} for kings and queens, and Mizrachi mucked.

"Aces?" Kuba asked, stacking his newfound chips.

Mizrachi responded, but it was nearly inaudible. We believe he said, "ace-three."

More For Selbst

Vanessa Selbst opened to 900 from the cutoff and was called by both players in the blinds.

The flop came down {10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and the player in the small blind led out for 2,000. The player in the big blind ducked out of the way, Selbst called, and the {8-Diamonds} hit the turn. The player in the small blind bet 3,500 this time, but Selbst raised to 9,100.

A quick call from her opponent landed the {J-Diamonds} on the river which he checked. Selbst bet 14,200 and after about 45 seconds, her opponent folded.

"Didn't want to chop?" asked Selbst with a smile on her face,

"Now we're going to gamble boys! No more of this cheap poker sh**!" yelled an excited Mike Matusow after winning a nice pot. A flopped set over set went in Matusow's favor.
