Six Shooters

As best we can guesstimate, somewhere around a dozen or so women started today's tournament. With 90 players left, six women are still in the field. The big question is, will one of them manage to become the 2010/2011 WSOPC's first female champion?

Monkey Climbing Higher and Higher

There was about 12,000 in the pot with a flop of {4-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} when Will "Monkey" Souther bet 9,000. His sole opponent asked how much he had behind and Souther responded, "A lot."

Clearly not content, the young man asked about how much. "You're not going to make the dealer break down my entire stack are you?" Souther asked.

"Just give me a rough guess," the young man said. Souther started to break down his chips and acted as though he was upset he had to do so. As he was breaking down the last of his chips, the young man said, "Alright, I'm all in."

"Call," snapped Souther for a total of 52,800 as he flipped his {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}. His opponent showed {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs} and was way behind. The {3-Diamonds} on the turn changed nothing and neither did the {J-Clubs} on the river. Souther doubled to 107,000 while his opponent was clearly distraught.

"See, that is why I wanted a [expletive] count, I didn't think he had that much."

"He told you he had a lot," T.J. Cloutier said, no doubt rubbing salt in the wound. Perhaps it was for the best that their table broke just a few minutes later.

Land Adds Some More

With about 10,000 in the pot and a board reading {6-Hearts}{3-Spades}{J-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}, the small blind checked to John Land who bet 4,000. The small blind must have smelled something fishy because he made the call.

"Aces," Land said as he flipped {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}. the small blind seemed surprised as he threw his cards in the muck. Land managed to add a few thousand to his massive stack.

"Don't Make Fun of Me T.J."

In a recent hand, Seat 1 was all in with pocket sixes against the {K-}{Q-} of his opponent with a flop of {K-}{J-}{J-}. The turn delivered a {6-} for Seat 1 and the river blanked, giving him the double. Apparently worried about his play, the first thing he said was, "Don't make fun of me T.J.," which was directed at his tablemate.

"I wasn't going to," smiled Cloutier. "You were ahead." Meanwhile Cloutier's former tablemate, Aaron Brandt, has been eliminated from the tournament.
