Worming His Way Out

It's been a good few weeks for Mickey 'The Worm/Legend' Wernick. Not only has he found his way back onto the circuit thanks to his new sponsors, but he even won a seat to the Main Event via last night's super satellite after making the last minute decision to head west.

And now, at the felt, it appears as though the Poker Gods have continued to smile upon the veteran, runner runner quads pipping what I can only assume was a full house with a king on the river of a {K-?}{J-?}{7-?}{7-?}{7-?} board.

"I got away pretty cheap there," exhaled relieved recipient Simon Daly. "Yeah, I bet small on the turn because I was hoping you'd raise," confessed Wernick. "You had Nike trainers on," came the reply, "getting runner runner." "I think it's my card number [20-10]," continued Wernick, "been playing 30 years. Maybe a sign from the Poker Gods."
