Kabbaj Wants To Be Jorgensen When He Grows Up
The flop comes
and Jorgensen calmly pushes out one stack of 20 orange chips (20k). After short thinks, both his potential opponents pass, while John Kabbaj looks at him stacking the chips and shakes his head. "You're wonderful.. [at the rest of the table] He just reraises, and it comes four-four-three. I reraise it and it comes king-queen-jack, two of a suit. [Back to Theo] When I grow up, I want to be like you."

Degenerate in Disguise
An American version of 'BlueScouse', Griffin is rumoured to have won and lost millions, taken on some of the best players around at the highest stakes, and endured ridiculous sessions at the table. In some circles, he'd be labelled 'sick'.
Today, however, he has fierce competition for that title, as he's just sat opposite Tom Dwan, a man equally as obsessed with poker as he. But the question is: who will triumph in the battle of the degenerates? With 110,000 in front of him, Griffin could be a dark horse for making this Omaha final.

. There followed some mutual staring and a kind of standoff, with Jepsen quietly working on his decision, which ended up being shoving the rest in. Romanello snap called with
