On a board of , Jamie Gold dragged a monster pot with . He took out two players on that hand and as he stacked up their chips he admitted, "This is my first ever Omaha tournament."
Gold mentioned that he learned how to play the other night from Robert Williamson III and Jeffrey Lisandro.
Whilst all the players disperse for the twenty minute break, the cardroom is left with just one sole competitor in his seat, the ever-focused David Williams perched on the edge of his seat with his head bowed down on the felt.
Although I initially thought he was either (1) in the zone, (2) praying for divine assistance or (3) slightly insane, a closer inspection revealed that he was merely whiling away the minutes watching a video on the smallest of ipods.
We do have young eyes to think about so we can only bring you the NetNanny version of the Doyle meets Catgirl photo. The smile on Doyles face never dissapeared and who knows, it could be the start of something beautiful.
Omaha specialist and cash game menace Ben Roberts is mulling over which country rules the roost at Omaha. Well, when I say mulling, I actually mean he's decided already.
"You know what," says Ben," there are a few Americans who didn't fancy this Omaha event because it's the European's game."
Eek, I think he momentarily forgot about the 10k Omaha event at the World Series event where our only European placing was Paul Jackson, who avoided the bubble by one.
Oh well, Ben is admittedly a cracking Omaha player, and although failing to progress in Level 1, is still in with 7k and his double chance disc to boot.
Apologies to our American viewers who may be bemused by that headline, but it is actually a pun on a Frank Bruno quote, the boxer's namesake and recent WSOP HORSE champion, Bruno Fitoussi, having just TKO-ed fellow finalist Barry Greenstein off a board with a 2.1k to 6k re-raise.
As beardy Barry mucked, Bruno was eager to reveal his for the second nut flush.
As a result, Greenstein is down to less than 2k, but still has his double chance in the bank.
As I glanced over at Table Ben Roberts, I was shocked to see a certain green haired HORSE finalist (Gary 'The Choirboy' Jones) sat and the table at in the midst of the action!
Betting out 2,600 on a flop was enough to force neighbour Eli Elezra to fold, but it just shows how nuts for poker these fanatics are.
