Lahti Plays the Wrong Game
Level 4
William Lahti was humble enough to share his mistake after the fact.
"I drew one card, and caught a three, I thought it was the gin card," said Lahti. "There I was blasting away into a pat hand, then I realized we were playing A-5, [not 2-7]."
Lahti recently ran deep in the $1,500 Dealer's Choice Event. "Well, yeah, over there I always knew what game we were playing," he smiled.
Early levels are a great time for that mistake, and if his recent mixed-game success means anything, we're sure he'll figure it out.
