All About the Ring...or the Bracelet

[user101598]

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

"Hey Raymond," Kory Kilpatrick piped up. "What are you going to do with the money when you win?"

"Put it in the bank," Weaver, 69, grunted.

"You're not going to buy anything nice?" Hugh Henderson asked. "A watch?"

"No," Weaver responded. "I just want the ring...or the bracelet. Whatever they have here."

"We'll split the money," Henderson shot back, motioning over to Kilpatrick. "You can have the ring."

Weaver didn't respond for a good 10 seconds, then finally, he broke his silence.

"Is that a proposal?"

Messing Around

Shamus

Level 30 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

"Messing with my blind, sir," said Kinney with a grin. "I had much worse than that," cracked Kilpatrick in response.

Henderson vs. the Defenderson

Shamus

Level 30 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

James Kinney continues to play fast, raising multiple times during the last orbit and gradually adding to his stack. He's also been routinely defending his blinds, as he did again just now after an opening raise from late position by Hugh Henderson and a call by George Zinaty in the small blind.

The flop came , and after Zinaty checked, Kinney quickly fired 250,000. Henderson then raised to 500,000, and after a long time in the tank Zinaty let his hand go.
