We recently heard Michele Limongi having a dispute with a dealer across the room. Limongi, who finished third in the $2,500 8-game event last year and has six career WSOP cashes, was upset because the entire table, including the dealer, thought he checked dark on a flop. Three players checked behind him, but before the dealer could burn and turn a card, Limongi tried to bet. The players protested, and a floor person was beckoned.
Since the majority of the players at the table heard Limongi say "I check dark," and the other players had already acted, the dealer was to deal the turn card. It was the , and Limongi immediately bet. All the other players folded.
"It's your house," Limongi said after the hand. "I guess I'm just a foreigner."
Before he entered Event 8: $1,500 Omaha Hi-Low Split 8-or-Better, Allen Bari sat down with the PokerNews Podcast crew to talk about his World Series of Poker thus far.
If you're here in Vegas for the World Series of Poker, or if you follow a handful of professional poker players on Twitter, then you've probably heard of All American Dave. Dave Swanson is a a fitness coach, dietary guru, and the creator of the All American Dave Meal Plan, which dozens of grinders at the WSOP subscribe to. Last year, All American Dave's clients shipped a combined seven bracelets - Brian Rast was responsible for two of them - and this year he's expanded his service so that anyone can purchase meals and have them delivered to them at the Rio.
At least three players here in the Brasilia Room collected their boxed lunches from All American Dave's delivery team. Allen Bari and Nick Binger scarfed down a lime chili tilapia dish with asparagus, onions, brown rice, and bell peppers, while Frankenberger is unsure of what was in his box.
"I believe it was chicken," Frankenberger told us, smiling.
Bari was finished with his lunch in what seemed like less than three hands.
"It was really good," he told us. "Spicy, but good."
Saturday's menu looks delectable as well - you have a choice of lemon pepper chicken, tomato basil chicken, an All American burger, or an old bay tilapia dish.
