Max Pescatori Likes Trip Kings

[user24788]

On one of the last hands during Stud High, the Italian Pirate Max Pescatori won a pot against Dan Shak.

Shak: {A-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{8-Spades}
Max: {J-Spades}{K-Spades}{K-Clubs}{3-Clubs}

Max turned over {K-Hearts} for trip kings and that was good enough to beat Shak's three pairs... aces, nines, and eights. Pescatori increased his stack to 260K while Shak slipped to 90K.

Violette Gets Aggressive

When we caught up on seventh street, Cyndy Violette was showing
(X)(X){8-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}(X). She had just bet 12K and her opponent Bill Edler, who showed (X)(X){A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}(X), took his time before making the call. He eventually did and Cyndy revealed ({Q-Spades})({Q-Clubs}){8-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}({4-Clubs}). Edler mucked and Violette is now working with 225K in chips.

Putting On A Show

The spectators are lined up two and three deep in some spots to catch a glimpse of this event and its elite players. Most of the onlookers are your typical everyday poker fans. The folks who will take home their stories about seeing Chip and Doyle and "The Mouth" back to their home games across the world. The interest in this event doesn't stop there however. Poker veteran and commentator Mike Sexton has been keeping an eye on this tournament for quite some time, as has young gun Nick Shulman. One thing's for certain...with three days left, the show isn't stopping anytime soon.

Greg Mueller Hanging By a Thread

After being crippled by Amnon Filippi in the recent Razz level, Mueller had almost half of stack all in with the ante. Mueller was all in by third street and ended up winning a showdown against Chip Reese to quadruple up.

PokerNews tracked down Greg ‘FBT’ Mueller on dinner break from day 2 of the $50k HORSE event to chat about enjoying the HORSE event so far and why he thinks he has an advantage in the Hold’em sections of the event.
