The vast majority of hands currently ends either preflop or on the flop. In the meanwhile, the focus is on Johan Guilbert who has engaged two massage girls and now plays the four-hand variant on his neck and shoulders. Perhaps, there would be a funky name for that too.
Either way, his stack has gone up and the Frenchman sits well above the average.

"Are you a professional?" Anton asked and his opponent replied "Yes of course. Don't you know who I am?"
Anton continued "is that only your opinion or everybody else's also?" Martirosian tanked for another minute and then folded the
face up, Anton grinned and flashed the
