Now They Can Have That Chat

Amir Vahedi was all in blind for his last 200 chips. There were 5 people in the pot.

The final board was {2-Clubs}

Vahedi showed {4-Spades}

and another player tabled {A-Clubs}

, sending Vahedi to the rail.

Now maybe Vahedi can go have a talk with Robert "Chip Burner" Turner about how Omaha is a sucker's game.

Candy.....Cigarettes....Roses???

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Something that has been a mystery for a bit now has been some of the roaming candy girls. They are selling the typical items such as candy, gum, and cigarettes. One thing that we have noticed is that they are also selling roses. We are not sure as to why this is. Perhaps they are trying to drop a hint to husbands and boyfriends to do something nice for their significant others. We will try and find out and let you know when we find out.
