"You Know What a Small Philly Is?

Omaha Hi/Low:

On a board reading {A-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{J-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}, an unknown player checked to Sam Grizzle and he fired out a bet. A call ensued and then the same action occurred on the {6-Diamonds} river. "Small philly," Grizzle said in his unique drawl and rolled over {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{8-Clubs} for a full house.

"You know what a small philly is?" Grizzle asked to Ed Brogdan, who spots a Doyle-like cowboy hat. "You grow up on a ranch?"

Brogdan shook his head affirmative that he knew that a "small philly" was a full house and added, "We all knew you had that."

"He didn't," Grizzle reacted and pointed to the unsuspecting caller. Grizzle is sitting just over the chip average with 10,000.

Gearing Up For The Big One

Mike Sexton, who recently announced that he will be playing the $1 million buy-in Big One for One Drop next month, is building a nice stack here on Day 1. Sexton just took down a nice pot in the Limit Hold'em round to surpass the 8,000 mark.

A player in the cutoff raised preflop and Sexton called from the big blind. Sexton checked-called the {Q-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop and then both players checked through the {Q-Clubs} turn. When the {3-Clubs} hit the river, Sexton bet 600 and got a reluctant call from his opponent. Sexton tabled {9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} for two pair, and hit opponent mucked.
