Jewell Trending Up

Kurt Jewell
Kurt Jewell

A player opened to 1,025 from early position, and received four callers including Kurt Jewell. The flop fell {8-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}, and the original raiser continued for 3,250. Only Jewell called.

The turn was another five - the {5-Spades} - and the original raised slowed down, checking to Jewell who fired 2,650. The player folded, and Jewell pulled in the pot.

This is a Gentlemen's Game

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

We just overheard a conversation with a Tournament Floorman and Nachman Berlin's table. Apparantly, the floorman overheard the "F" word from the table and informed the table that such language was subject to a penalty. Berlin pressed him asked why he couldn't say it if the vulgarity wasn't directed at anyone in particular. The floorman stood steadfast and said it was still a punishable offense.

The long and short of it is that they don't want to the word at all, in any capacity.

"I Just Don't Fold"

Russell Crane doesn't fold.
Russell Crane doesn't fold.

When we reached the table, Russell Crane was heads up with an opponent, there were about 7,000 chips in the middle, and the board read {6-Spades}{9-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}. Crane's opponent check-called a 3,050-chip bet, and the {q-Spades} completed the board.

Crane's opponent tossed out two grey T5,000 chips, and Crane tank-called. The player unhappily mucked his hand, and Crane turned over {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for a pair of nines.

"Hell of a call," Tick Hudgins said after the hand.

"Nah," Crane responded. "I just don't fold."

Nice to See You Gentlemen

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Kurt Jewell and Jacob Bazeley have just arrived in tournament area with registration slips in hand. They both had a rough first flight and the pair seem to have taken care of their sorrows at one of the many bars in the area.

"Right on time gentlemen," we said as they entered.

Jewell looked at Bazeley and said, "We should take some more shots."

They both laughed and Jewell said, "I'm either gonna have 100,000 in 30 minutes or I'm out of here."

It seems to be an accurate prediction.
