Divided Attention, Part II

Scores of players are gathered around the plasma screens as Tiger lines up his approach on 18.

"Excuse me, is this a break?" DevilFish Ulliott asked.

Well, NOW we're on break. And Tiger Woods needs a miracle putt to force a playoff.

Divided Attention

Many of the players seem more interested in the final holes of the U.S. Open that's finishing up at Oakmont. A few players are so engrossed that the dealers have had to remind them that the action is on them.

Chris Ferguson Busts Jennifer Tilly

After seeing her stack dwindle down, Jennifer Tilly called a 700 raise from Chris "Jesus" Ferguson. The flop came {K-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and Tilly, playing from the big blind, bet 1,500. Ferguson thought a long time before re-raising enough to set Tilly all-in and she quickly called with K-J. Ferguson had a flush draw with {6-Spades}{7-Spades} and hit that draw when the {9-Spades} hit on the turn. Jennifer didn't make a full house on the river, and her day was done.

One Way to Play Tight

With the board reading {2-Spades}{3-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}, a player bet 1,500 and Phil Hellmuth came over the top for 2,075 more. The other player called and found he was crushed by Hellmuth's pocket Kings. "This is why I'm the best!" Hellmuth said. "That's the third hand I've played in 3 hours."

And David "DevilFish" Ulliott dryly observed, "You weren't even here for the first two and a half hours."

"What'd you think I was gonna do, Fish?" Hellmuth said. "You steal the chips, and I get the nuts!"

Sorel "Imper1um" Mizzi Busts One

At the same table as Norm McDonald, Sorel Mizzi faces the other end of the coin-flip and wins. With his opponent all-in before the flop, Mizzi has {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} and is looking at his opponent's {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}. Mizzi hits a set on a flop of {Q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{6-Spades}. The turn and river are {4-Hearts}{10-Spades} -- and Mizzi is now up to 16,300 chips.
