Dinner Time
Monster Pre-Dinner Pot
on an 
board. Even better was that both of his opponents had a piece of the pot too, one player holding 
and another 
. All three players pushed their chips in on the flop quicker than a jet-propelled whippet, only for Wamsley to take it down on the non-full-house-filling 
turn and 
river.Wamsley now on splendid 37,000 as a result.
Steckie That in Your Pipe and Smoke It
on a 
flop -- an opponent holding pocket nines raised Steckie all in, which he must have been deliriously happy about. A queen and a jack on the turn and river means Steckie is up to 10,550.

Fortunately for Neil, said nemesis wasn't seated next door, and Neil, along with 10,000 in chips, was allowed to live another day.

His opponent was holding A-K, and no miracle queen on the turn or river put JC right back down at the bottom end of the chip-stack hierarchy.
Life's a Grind
Clearly finding pot-limit a struggle, Brandon continues, "There's a lot of folding in pot-limit."
"You could always fold your way to victory," I reply, in a vain attempt to boost his morale. "As long as you don't fold the last hand."
Chack-Fold
Singer raised it up to 1,100 preflop, and Philachack called. Singer fired out 1,800 on the
flop, and again, Philachack called.Singer backed off a little and check-called Philachack's 3,000 bet on the
turn, and then backed off even further, simply check-folding to Philachack's 7,300 bet. Philachack, that great check-o-phile, showed pocket sevens for the flopped full house.
