"Poker is a Nasty Game"

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

After being hammered down to just a couple of blinds following his queens taking a brutal beat at the hands of Zurab Ejibia, Gisle Olsen found at least one double and made his way to 55,000. He put those chips in over an under-the-gun open from Alex Foxen, and John Racener cold-called in the cutoff. Foxen tanked a bit and folded.

Olsen: {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}
Racener: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

The {q-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop was safe for Olsen's sevens, but he had more cards to dodge after the {8-Diamonds} turn. The river: {a-Clubs}.

"Ah," he said calmly. "Poker is a nasty game."

Racener nodded silently and took the pot.

Five more hands will be played at each table.
