The two men who battled it our for the title of 2010 WSOP Player of the Year were at it again, but it was Kassela who was out in front. The turn wasn't very interesting, while fifth street gave Mizrachi a pair of queens and Kassela two pair. Much to the latter's dismay, sixth street demolished his hopes as Mizrachi spiked an ace for a bigger two pair.
"Are you kidding me?" Kassela asked in disbelief. Seventh street failed to change a thing and Kassela added, "You killed me today, Mike," before making his exit in 14th place.
Linda Johnson is short on chips, but she has no intentions of leaving just yet.
Johnson got all in a few moments ago against Marsha Waggoner, and she managed to take half the pot. She made a flush on sixth street, and Waggoner puller her low on seventh to chop it up.
A few hands later, Johnson got it in on third with aces against Chris Tryba. The hands ran out thusly:
Johnson: / /
Tryba: / /
Aces up beat two jacks, and Johnson has doubled back over 50,000 with that scoop.
A fun one between John Monnette and Marsha Waggoner — complete with name calling and all. Monnette completed with the , and Waggoner called along with a six of her own, the .
Monnette: (x-x) / / (x)
Waggoner: (x-x) / / (x)
Monnette bet his lead all the way through sixth, and Waggoner called those three streets. Monnette checked the river, and Waggoner checked it back.
"Aces," she said as she tabled her hand. It read: / .
Without missing a beat, Monnette announced his "Aces up," and tabled / . He did indeed have aces up, but his hand was second-best.
The dealer grabbed Waggoner's cards and scooped them together, but she caught him. "Wait, can you spread those back out?" she asked. The dealer obliged, and now Waggoner realized the mistake.
"That's a flush," someone said. And Monnette lost it. He's a particularly sharp poker player, and that gives him somewhat of a short temper when others make mistakes at the table.
"Oh my f***ing god! She f***ing slowrolled me," he said as he spun out of his chair.
Waggoner is quite the lady, and she fired right back. "Excuse me? You're an idiot for saying that to me."
By now, Monnette was upset at everyone, and a few of the other players began to join in the debate.
"It wasn't mucked!" someone yelled at Monnette.
"That's because he (the dealer) didn't do his job!" Monnette answered.
"Is that really how you want to win a pot?" someone else asked.
"If she's too incompetent to realize what she has, then yes," Monnette snapped back.
It took a few more minutes for the situation to be pacified, and T.D. Charlie did an admirable job of explaining the ruling and calming everyone down. Essentially, once a hand is tabled, the cards speak. Waggoner gets the pot, and Monnette is none too pleased with that.
Cory Zeidman informed us that only on the rarest of occasions does he enjoy an adult beverage before dark, but this must qualify as he recently ordered a Grey Goose and grapefruit from the waiter. Zeidman then said he was going to give the waiter an opportunity to win a $20 tip if he could say, "Grey Goose and grapefruit," ten times fast without messing up. The waiter was flattered, but declined to give it a try.
