No Seats Open

We thought the queues for the cash games were long yesterday, but today the lists for 2-5 and 5-10 NLHE are over 100 deep! The room's limits are rising as well, with several tables of 20-40 PLO running, and a 50-100 NL table just opened with Dario Minieri and Jan Boubli taking seats.

Fossilman Eliminated

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Greg "Fossilman" Raymer busted out after he lost with pocket Jacks on consecutive hands! On the first hand, he raised and a player moved all in. Raymer called with J-J and was up against K-J. Sadly his opponent caught a four flush to cripple the former WSOP World Champion. He had less than 1,000 left.

Raymer found J-J on the very next hand and moved all in. An opponent called with Q-J. Raymer led until the river when a Queen spiked.

Marcel Luske limp-called a pre-flop raise with A-J and saw the flop come down jack high. He check-raised his opponent all-in on the flop and unfortunately ran into Q-Q. No help for the Flying Dutchman on the turn or the river and he was eliminated from the tournament.

Table Talk: Johnny Chan and Sorel Mizzi

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Sorel "Imper1um" Mizzi, who played (and busted out) on Day 1A was spotted sitting behind Johnny Chan's table. We thought he was just sweating the action, but it turns out he was more concerned with the colors of the flop cards. Mizzi and Chan had a €1,000 per hand bet going, with Mizzi taking the red cards and Chan the black ones. If it came down more red than black, Mizzi took it. More black than red, it went to Chan.

Last we saw they were nearly even and were discussing payment methods, since neither man had very many Euros on them, only U.S. dollars.
