Weaver Wins an Interesting One

[user101598]

Level 28 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Raymond Weaver opened to 75,000 from under the gun, and four players called including Hugh Henderson (direct left), George Zinaty (hijack), James Kinney (cutoff), and Daniel Weinman (big blind).

"Five players to the flop," the dealer announced.

The flop fell , and Weinman checked. Quickly, Weaver tossed out four olive T25,000 chips, and both Henderson and Weinman called the 100,000-chip bet.

The turn was a repeat jack - the - and Weinman checked again. Weaver fired 150,000, Henderson raised to 350,000, and Weinman called.

"I'm all in," Weaver announcing, bumping it up to what looked like 1.4 million.

Henderson shot a look at Weaver, then turned his attention to Weinman. He finally flicked his cards into the muck, and Weinman gave a shrug before folding as well.

"I know exactly what you had," Zinaty blurted. "Pocket queens."

"That's exactly right," Weaver said in earnest.

Shocked, Henderson said that he folded jack-ten. Weinman also admitted to folding a jack.

With eight players left, Daniel Weinman's found himself in eighth position out of eight as Level 29 began. He's doing what he can, though, to change that situation.

Just now James Kinney opened with a minimum-raise to 80,000 from middle position, then Jonathan Moseley called from the cutoff. Next to act on the button, Weinman pushed all in, and Kinney quickly folded. Moseley took more time to decide what to do, but eventually he folded as well.

Everybody Loves Raymond

Shamus

Level 29 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

We've heard players say "everybody loves Raymond" more than once over the last couple of days, alluding to the popular TV show while referring to 69-year-old Raymond Weaver, usually after he's won another pot. We just watched Weaver pick up a couple more decent-sized pots to add further to his stack.

In the first, Weaver raised to 80,000 from early position and Jonathan Moseley called from the big blind. Both checked the flop. Then after Moseley checked the turn, Weaver bet 100,000 and Moseley called.

The river was the and this time Moseley fired 225,000. Weaver took his time, then raised to 500,000, and after a long think Moseley folded. Weaver showed his hand — — and scooped the chips.

On the next hand Weaver was raising again to 100,000 from UTG and Hugh Henderson called. The flop came , Weaver bet 150,000, and once more Henderson called. The turn then brought the and a bet of 200,000 from Weaver. Henderson raised to 550,000, and Weaver quickly said he was all in.

"You got it man," Henderson exhaled. "I can't call you." As he pitched his cards to the dealer, Weaver showed his hand again — .

After that sequence, Weaver has moved into first position, and while the others keep saying "everybody loves Raymond," we're not sure they really mean it just now.
