Eugene Todd's Favorite Hand

[user14554]

A player opens for 600 and is called by two players, including Eugene Todd, before Philippe Boucher in the small blind pushes all-in. Eugene Todd calls, saying "this is my favorite hand." His favorite hand is apparently {10-Spades}

Boucher has {A-Clubs}

. The flop of {A-Spades}

gives Boucher top pair, but also gives Todd the flush draw. Like a mantra, Todd repeats "spade baby" until the river delivers the {8-Spades}

.

Eugene Todd says, "Sorry kid" to which Boucher responds, "I'm not a kid." "Sorry adult," says Todd.

Michael Craig: From Victim to Victimizer

[user14554]

During the break, we caught up with author Michael Craig. He said on the 7th hand of the event, he had his aces cracked and lost half his stack. He said he was feeling a little victimized - that is until he cracked someone's kings with Q-10. "I thought he was making a move," he said sheepishly. Michael Craig now has 17,000 chips.
