Max Chats

[user252447]

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Max Droege is full of energy and chatter at the table today, bouncing around despite making a late appearnce at the WPT player's party last night.

He complained to PokerNews between hands that he had been card dead today and had to fold his only decent hand, a pair of jacks, pre-flop when he faced a three-bet. The flop contained an ace so perhaps he was happy to get away from it without putting a chip in the pot. He is not letting the lack of premium hands get him down though, commenting, "Hey it was like that most of the day yesterday and then look what happened"
