Line of the Day

[user108095]

Walking past a table, a player in middle position zoned out, not realizing it was his turn to act.

When the dealer prompted him, he immediately mucked his hand and apologized, prompting the player on his left to joke, "Don't worry about him. It was just a senior moment."

[user108095]

In one of the few preflop three bets we've seen all day, a player in middle position raised limped and got raised to 700. When the limper shoved, he got called.

The limper showed pocket 10s and ran into his opponent's aces, which held up after a board of {K-Diamonds}

Shirley Williams Gets Respect

[user108095]

Shirley Williams min-raised to 500 in early position and action checked around the table. A player in middle position contemplated his action for nearly a minute, before finally mucking his hand.

When Williams took down the pot, he said, "I think were racing or I was behind." Williams asked what he folded, and when he said ace-queen, she laughed, claiming she had ace-king.

No matter what they were really holding, both players seemed satisfied enough with how the hand played out, and Williams is sitting with about 6,000 chips.
