Tice Feels the Love

Level 4 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Landon Tice
Landon Tice

Jeremy Ausmus opened to 5,000 in early position and Shannon Shorr three-bet to 13,500 in late position, but all attention was on the incredibly esoteric conversation between Landon Tice and Alex Foxen about spirituality, love and rules.

"Love fulfills all rules," proclaimed Tice. "When you think about the Law of Moses ..."

"Aw, save it," said Jeremy Becker to his right.

"So we are just writing Beatles songs now?" added Foxen.

Ausmus called Shorr's three-bet and checked as the flop landed 844. Shorr bet 11,000 and Ausmus called. Meanwhile, Tice was still talking spirituality.

"The covenant is only fulfilled with Jesus ..."

Ausmus checked on the K river and Shorr bet 40,000 as Tice declared that "We think we know love ... but that's the faith part."

Ausmus folded and turned his attention to Tice with the rest of the table, joining in on the conversation that apparently began with a question about WSOP Europe.

"So ... Prague was good, then?" asked Ausmus.
