Table 135: Mike "The Mouth" Matusow, C.K. Hua
Table 124: Greg "Fossilman" Raymer, Davidson Matthew
Table 122: Huckleberry Seed
More to come!

Matusow vs. Grinder Last Longer Bet
"I Push When the Donkeys Keep on Pulling"
The turn brought the and this time Flack bet 200. Seat 8 called and seat 4 raised to 400. Flack then reraised to 600, adding "let it go..." as he tossed his chips into the pot.
The table talk worked, as both players mucked their hands, though probably not the way Layne would've liked as he turned over the nut-nut hand,
