Stewart, Meet Stuart

Table 18 could easily be called the table death - amongst some of the notables to grace its felt include 2009 Aussie Millions Main Event champion Stewart Scott, PokerNetwork Live vs Online Invitational Shootout finalist Kerry Stead and 2008 Western Classic Main Event champion Marc Des Anges.

However the relatively unknown Stuart Rey has been the first to draw some chips from the big names early on.

Rey raised it up to 300 from early position, Stead made the call as well as Des Anges from the big blind to see a flop of {5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}.

Des Anges checked, Rey opened for 500, Stead got out of the way and Des Anges called. Des Anges would then check-call each of Rey's bets of 500 on both the turn of the {9-Spades} and the river {5-Diamonds}.

Rey tabled {A-Hearts}{K-Spades} and Des Anges mucked. Upon the request from the reporter for Dey's name, Scott remarked, "Is your name Stewart?"

"Yes it is," he replied, "But it's spelt S-T-U-A-R-T."

"Oh well," Scott replied smiling, "You can't get everything right!"

Sounds like the beginning of a beautiful friendship!
