Blom's Overbet Pays Off

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

On a board reading {K-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{5-Spades} and about 1,800 in the pot, Viktor "Isildur1" Blom bet 1,450 and received a call from his opponent on the button. Both players checked the {Q-Clubs} turn, which was followed by the {Q-Hearts} on the river. Blom lined up some chips and threw out a bet of 7,800, almost twice the size of the pot.

The button didn't seem convinced and counted out a call. He debated a few more seconds before tossing them in the pot. Blom turned over {A-Spades}{K-Spades} for aces and queens with a king kicker. It was good as the button simply mucked. Blom's aggression is working and he is up to 65,000.

G'day Mate

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Australian poker pro Tom "tollgate" Grigg just took a pot off of Charles Wiper. The board read {k-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{6-Hearts} when we arrived at the table and Grigg led out for 1,600. Wiper turned up the heat, raising to 4,600, but Grigg was unafraid and moved all in for 19,050. Wiper backed down, folding his hand, and his stack slipped to 31,000.

Grigg is still below starting stack, but with that win he now has 27,000 chips.

Rousso Sliding

Her opponent checked once again and Rousso fired 15,000. After about two minutes her opponent called, pleased to see Rousso turn over {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}.

Rousso's opponent tabled {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} and Rousso's stack took a hit down to about 15,000.

"Does Anyone Know Oragami?"

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

While passing by Jean-Robert Bellande's table we heard an unknown players ask his tablemates if anyone knew oragami, the fancy art of folding paper. Apparently the player had an old gum wrapper and thought it'd be fun to make something out of it.

"No," Bellande responded, "But I've watched Prison Break," referring to the hit Fox television show that incorporated oragami into the storyline.

"I've been in a prison break," replied the unknown player, which got a laugh out of the table. Always the talker, Bellande proceeded to tell the table about his pleasurable experience watching the Denzel Washington movie, "Training Day". From there the conversation turned to Denzel being in too many train movies, such as the recent "Unstoppable" and "The Taking of Pelham 123". While the debate quickly started to heat up, we decided to walk away to find something that mattered.

Unabomber Fighting Back

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

With three players in a pot worth 2,200 and a board reading {10-Spades}{6-Hearts}{J-Hearts}, Phil Laak was first to act and checked. He was followed by the player in the hijack and the cutoff opted to bet 1,225. Laak immediately grabbed his entire stack, about 11,000 more, and spiked it in the middle. The big raise was enough to push out his opponents and take down the pot.

Laak is currently sitting with around 14,000, quite the opposite of his girlfriend Jennifer Tilly, who is up to 90,000 and off to a monster start.
