Poker Room Table Talk
![[user75032]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
"Last year I probably drank 20 or more drinks at least 345 days," said Smith, a legendary drinker. "That's too much. It's probably the equivalent of smoking an ounce of pot a day."
"About a quarter," chirped tablemate Shaun Deeb.
"How many joints is a quarter?" asked Smith.
"It depends how big you roll 'em," joked a player at the far end of the table.
On a different table in the poker room, a player was explaining his early tournament strategy.
"It's too early to bust," he said. "If I go home right now my wife is going to kill me."
Phillips Getting Short
, an opponent fired 1,200 into Carter Phillips. Phillips raised the bet up to 3,025 and then his opponent went into the tank. After about a minute, a reraise went in to 12,000. Phillips snap-mucked his hand and surrended the pot, not looking too happy about it.Phillips dropped below 10,000 chips with 7,200 left in his stack.
Lerner Sent to the Rail
. Derek "derek8" Lerner put in a check-raise to 3,050 after Craig "HU4ROLLZ" Bergeron bet 1,025. Bergeron made the call.When a
hit the turn, Lerner check-raised all in and Bergeron made the call. Lerner saw the bad news as his had been run down by his opponent's for a better set on the turn. There was no river miracle and Lerner was sent to the rail early on Day 1 while Bergeron moved up to 59,000 chips.
Confusion Reigns
A player at the table protested that Adams should be blinded off, that all stacks have been dealt to for all of the first two levels. A floor was summoned who ruled that Adams should have a set amount deducted from his stack before his first hand.
Adams was incredulous. He wanted to know why, if late registration was allowed through Level 3, he shouldn't be given a full stack for his first hand of the tournament. (It turns out that late registration was only allowed through the end of Level 2, but somehow Adams showed up midway through Level 3.)
The player that originally protested remarked that Adams had missed two and a half hours of play. Adam responded, "You don't know what you're talking about. I am 100% in the right here," which then devolved into a side debate wholly unrelated to the issue at hand.
In the end, the decision went all the way to TD Rick Landry. He determined that Adams' stack should be blinded off by a total of 1,500 chips, putting an end to the debate.
"You can't have the best of both worlds," said another player at the table. "If your cash was wired to the cage at the start, you should be blinded off. And if not, you shouldn't even be allowed to register at this point."
Carter Phillips Busts

and Phillips tournament came to an end.
Let the Breaking Begin
Among those joining us over here now are Andrew "Browndog19" Brown, Danny Suied, David Williams and Allen Kessler. As players bust and the staff works to remove all the dead stacks from the tournament, the empty seats will be filled by those players that began the day in the poker room.

Time, Time, Time
. Ho, first to act, checked. The next player bet 500. Ho was the only caller.On the
turn, Ho led into her opponent for 750. He made a thoughtful call. Ho fired another 1,150 on the river, creating a total pot of 4,450. Her opponent had most of his starting stack of 30,000 behind, yet he proceeded to tank for almost 5 full minutes over a seemingly small decision. A clock was finally called and counted almost all the way down before the player folded.
Lee Fills Up to 55k
An under-the-gun player raised to 550, Lee reraised to 1,575. Action folded to the big blind and he made the call as did the original raiser. The three players took a flop of
and the big blind fired out 4,600. The under-the-gun player folded and then Lee made it 10,100 to go. Lee stated that he put the player on 
or aces when retelling the hand.The player then agonized about his decision according to Lee and then moved all in. Lee snap-called with top of of kings,
. His opponent held two black aces and Lee's read was right on. The turn was the 
and the river completed the board with the to give Lee a full house and send him up to 55,000 chips.
