What would you do?

[user22113]

The board is {6-Clubs}

; your opponent has bet pre-flop, checked the flop and bet both the turn and the river. And bet 50% of the pot or more each time. What do you do facing this bet on the river? The call will cost you 1/3 of your stack.

Gavin Smith made the call and showed {2-Spades}

for two pair no flush and the win when his opponent tapped the table and showed {Q-Spades}

By the Numbers: 2007 vs. 2006

[user22113]

At last year's L.A. Poker Classic (won by Alan Goehring), 379 out of 652 starters survived the first day of action or roughly 58% of the field. If 58% of the field busts on Day 1 in this year's even, there will be 459 happy players who make it to Day 2.

Sebok First to 100K

[user22113]

In a turn of events that's sure to disappoint his prop-betting partner, Gavin Smith, Joe Sebok is our first player to cross the 100K mark tonight. He currently sits on a 115K stack. If Gavin Smith doesn't start picking up chips fast, he's going to be sitting with Sebok's initial's on his rear end.
