Down, But Not Out

Doyle Brunson is down to the paltry sum of 1,700 after raising it up preflop but being forced to fold to a reraise from Martin Davis on the {6-Hearts}

flop. Annie Duke called from the small blind and then bet out 1,200 twice on the {3-Clubs}

turn and

river before showing {A-Hearts}

to take down a nice pot.

According to a giggly Doyle, "I would have won that."

If you recall, earlier I promised our viewers a photo of Gary Jones and his green hair.

His new hairdo isn't a fashion statement (although it wouldn't surprise me), but a way of raising awareness for climate change and global warming.

If it doesn't work out, then Gary can at least audition for the Riddler in the next Batman Film.

Surfing the Felt

Some stacks are getting into the Red Alert stage, with Catman most notably on 800 chips. I watched his table for five minutes of Stud, but he wasn't ready to put it all in, despite the fact that over 10 percent of his stack was now being anted every hand.

Mark Vos, on the other hand, looked more than ready to get his chips in during Stud/8 -- raising with the {2-Diamonds}

showing and getting two callers, one being David Williams showing the {7-Hearts}

. "That's good!" remarked Vos as his (Williams') fourth street appeared a {K-Hearts}

, the other opponent showing the {5-Diamonds}

. "That's very, very bad," remarked Vos as his other opponent's fourth street came a {3-Hearts}

. Both players passed, however, when Mark Vos' hand just got better with his fourth street {6-Spades}

being followed by a nice-looking {7-Diamonds}

, and he's holding on to around 10K in chips.

I seem to be spotting a lot of big pots, but most of which are concluding with the pot being split two ways. One of these involved the Italian Pirate and bracelet winner Max Pescatori, who is currently sharing a table with Scotty Nguyen and Ben Grundy. I joined this Stud Eight or Better hand right at the end, with Max's 800 bet being quickly called by his opponent. At this point, the pot had already reached the 10K+ mark.

Max = {A-Clubs}

for the low.
Opponent = {J-Clubs}

for the high

As a result, the bandana, Elton John sunglasses wearing Pescatori rises ever so slightly to 15,500.

Carl Weeks Takes His Leave

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

UK London Poker Meetup player Carl Weeks just found himself involved in a monster pot, but it was as an all-in short stack against three opponents who were more than happy to bet-raise-raise-cap on more than one street. The river card saw only one player drop out of the running, with John Juanda taking half of the pot with his ( {A-Clubs}
