RW3's Midnight Snack

Robert Williamson III
Robert Williamson III

Andy Bloch came prepared. Looking quite trim from a recent prop bet, Bloch brought along a bag of sugar snap peas for a late-night snack. Not wanting to be rude, he offered his tablemate, Robert Williamson III the bag.

Williamson, a man who seems more satisfied by steaming a plate of ribs rather than a raw veggie snack surprisingly fell in love with the crunchy crudite and began devouring the bag's contents.

However, Williamson was pulled from his snap-pea rapture when he got the rest of his chips in pre-flop on a PLO hand with {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and found himself up against Bloch's {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{8-Clubs}.

The board ran out {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{5-Clubs}, Bloch turning a flush to snap off Williamson's aces. Ouch.

"Wow. That's brutal," was all Bloch could offer by way of consolation. He's up to 560,000 while Williamson was left on life support with 1,300. Williamson was eliminated on the next hand when Justin Bonomo rivered a straight flush. Ouch again.
