Toy Man Not Playing Around

David Cohen
David Cohen

On a board reading {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{8-Spades}, a man calling himself David "The Toy Man" Cohen moved all in, but not before hitting a button that played a drum roll with an orchestra behind it.

Cohen got one call and turned up {j-Clubs}{j-Spades} which were able to stay ahead of his caller's {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}.

He's one of our more entertaining players today with a chest full of toys and a full rotation of colorfully themed hats.

Phillips Breaks 10k

Dennis Phillips raised to 300 preflop and got called by the player in the big blind. When the flop came {a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}, the big blind checked and Phillips bet 525. At that point the big blind raised it to 1,525 and Phillips called.

The turn fell {5-Clubs} and both players checked. They would do the same on the {4-Spades} river.

When all the action was complete, Phillips' opponent said "Just jacks." Meanwhile Phillips tabled {a-Spades}{9-Clubs} for top pair and took down the pot.

Phillips now has 10,600 chips.

Better Late Than Never

We've had a few people just pop up on our radars after late registration. Dewey Tomko, Tom Schneider and David Sklansky have all been spotted at the tables as of late.

Phillips Trending Upwards

Dennis Phillips recently took down a five-way pot with a board reading {7-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{2-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} when he went in for a bet of 375, leading all other players to fold.

Not long after that he was in early position with a flop reading {a-Clubs}{7-Spades}{j-Hearts} against one opponent and won it when he bet 375 into the middle.

Phillips now has about 5,800 chips.

You Win One, You Lose One

Tom McEvoy was involved in a three-way pot with a flop reading {5-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}. He was checked to in the big blind and fired a bet of 150, encouraging the cutoff and small blind to fold.

However, McEvoy lost those chips in the next hand when he called a bet of 150 on a board reading {k-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{q-Diamonds}. His opponent showed {q-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} and McEvoy mucked.

Present, McEvoy is sitting at 1,825
