Hand Recap

[user65508]

The last couple of hands have either been picked up by the first one to bet the pot or off of a high flop which had a few limpers. So far today, it would appear that the first one to raise is the one who wins the pot.

Joseph Haddad Eliminated - 7th Place ($34,389)

[user65508]

Martin Klaser led out preflop for 30,000 and Joseph Haddad moved all in for his remaining 60,000. Martin hesitated, then decided to call showing {A-Clubs}

and was crushed by Haddad's {A-Hearts}

. However, the flop fell {2-Hearts}

to give Martin a flopped wheel. Haddad couldn't find a way to improve by the river and is our seventh place finisher.

M-I-C-K-E-Y and Now He's in the Crowd

[user42991]

Mickey "Mouse" Mills has joined us over here at the final table to take in all the action. Mills is an accomplished Omaha Hi-Lo player and fan of the game. We aren't sure if he is here sweating a friend or if he is here just to take in the action.

Don't Quit Your Day Job

[user42991]

Our floorman has decided to serenade us in song every time that there has been a walk so far today. We aren't quite sure what he is singing. If we were in New Orleans, it would be "Walking to New Orleans". We don't believe that there is a "Walking to Vegas" or "Rootin' in the Rio."

It's a Final Table, Charlie Brown

[user42991]

If you look around at today's final table you will see a wide array of outfits. Erik Seidel is wearing his typical Full Tilt hat with a striped dress shirt. Tom Chambers is weaing a polo and cowboy hat. Chad Burum is wearing a nice flower print shirt. Then we come to Joseph Haddad. He is wearing a light blue Snoopy shirt that looks like it is about 20 years old.

It's the final table, Charlie Brown!!
