Bax shows his horses how it's done.
Cliff "JohnnyBax" Josephy got a nice little lift courtesy of Alexander Queen. Queen opened the button for 14,000 before Josephy, in the small blind, made it 40,000. Queen was undeterred, four-betting all in. Josephy picked at his cards one more time and then called. Queen sensed he was in trouble.
Queen:
Josephy:
Board:
Neither player improved. Josephy's ace-king was the best hand and took down the pot, sending Queen to the rail in the process.
"How much did he have?" Josephy asked the table. "For the Twitter."
We eyeballed the total of Josephy's new stack at about 550,000.

Efro preserving his strength between hands
Ship another 60,000 chips to Eric Froehlich. He opened from late position for 15,000, then called small blind Salvatore Tamburello's all in of 60,000 total.

Dale Jamison
At the beginning of the last level, Dale Jamison called a three-bet all in for 100 big blinds with pocket eights - and was somehow in great shape against a pair of fives - to win a 1,000,000-chip pot. In one fell-swoop, he accumulated enough chips to merit the introduction of the pink T25,000 chip. And he's been putting his full 20-stack of them to good use bullying his table. He raised preflop on the button, and Mike Beasley defended his big blind.
Flop: - Beasley checked, and Jamison bet 25,000. Beasley called.
Turn: - Both players checked.
River: - Beasley bet out 26,000, and Jamison raised to 76,000 with those scary pink chips. Beasley took a long time to make the call but not very long to muck once Jamison showed . Jamison is up to 1.6 million, pretty close to chip leader Vanessa Selbst's 1.7 million.
