A Rose By Any Other Name

Sam Rose has been after us all day to give him some coverage, but he has, unfortunately, not had much going until recently. Down to 7,400, we finally saw Rose involved in some action. The man to his right opened to 7,000, and Rose counted down his stack before deciding to just flat-call.

As the dealer was making the pot right, Rose started chatting. He was already standing up from his chair, and he asked us for a pen. "Here. I'm like Barry Greenstein," he said, pulling a non-descript square of white paper from his pocket. It was a voucher for a buffet comp. "I'm gonna sign this and give it to the guy who knocks me out!" Rose announced. He scrawled his John Hancock across the back, but it turns out he'd get to keep it after all.

The flop came {9-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {4-Hearts}, and the rest of the 400 chips went in. Rose held {K-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}, and he had flopped good against the {A-Clubs} {8-Clubs} of his opponent. The turn {6-Hearts} and river {3-Diamonds} didn't change anything, and Rose has found his double. Mark him down for 18,000.
