John Hanson, 3rd Place finisher in the 2007 $50K H.O.R.S.E.
Hold'em:

John Hanson limped in from the small blind, Michael DeMichele raised from the big blind and Hanson made the call. The flop was {K-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {4-Clubs}. Hanson checked, DeMichele bet and Hanson called. The turn was the {2-Spades} and both players checked. The river was the {5-Hearts}. Hanson bet and DeMichele thought for several minutes before making the call with only the {A-Clubs} {J-Hearts}. Hanson mucked and DeMichele raked in the pot with only ace-high, leaving Hanson on an extremely short stack.

A few hands later, Hanson went up against Roy Thung in another hold'em pot. On an eventual board of {10-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {7-Hearts}, Thung made a straight with {J-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} and Hanson hit the rail.

"You Guys Are Too Good"

The Grinder Hates Razz
The Grinder Hates Razz
Razz:

Billy Argyros (X-X) {8-?} {A-?} {9-?}

Michael Mizrachi (X-X) {7-?} {6-?} {2-?}

Abe Mosseri brought it in with a {Q-?}, Billy "The Croc" Argyros called with an {8-?}, Michael Mizrachi completed with a {7-?}, Mosseri folded and Argyros called.

On fourth, Mizrachi led out and Argyros called. On fifth, Mizrachi led again having caught a {2-?} and Argyros went into the tank for quite a while.

"I know where I am, I've already got mine. I'm just not sure where you are" mused Crocky aloud before finally giving it up.

"You guys are just too good" said Mizrachi, flashing {3-?} {5-?} in the hole for a made 7-6.

"I hate f*ckin' razz!" sighed Mizrachi as he dragged the pot. Then, noticing one of our reporters was nearby, he amended his statement.

"Don't put the f-word in!"

Sorry, Grinder.
