A Breakaway

MarcC

It had to happen at some point and it's starting to happen now. The only difference is that two horses are breaking away from the field, rather than one.

Do Dario Alioto and Layne Flack have the strength in their legs to stay there until the end? Time will tell.

Happy Dan

MarcC

After winning that pot, Dan Makowsky has a smile back on his face. It seemed for so long that nothing right was falling for him, and he won very few of the pots on offer. Having chips to play with again may bring back his confidence and subsequently his "A" game.
