Veldhuis to Andy Black

After shoving on him for all Black's chips.

"You're a live player I'm an internet player. You've been tanking for three minutes. If you don't know where you're at by now you should change careers."

These internet kids today...

Moneymaker

You (Hank) were right but barely. Out 10 spots shy of the money.

Tony G had been playing like usual, bluffing pots with 6 high. MM opens, G RRs, and MM shoves. G calls saying "here, take it" and flips over AKs to race MM's queens. King on turn.

That put MM down to 200-something with 8k/16k blinds. He pushed AI over Ted Forrests raise - who had only recently shown up having over slept dinner break, and who called AI a few hands earlier for a big bet with A7s vs AK. MM had tens, Forrest called with kings, and they both flopped sets.

I was hoping he at least cashed. He is not a great player but we all owe a lot to the Moneymaker Boom.

Chip and a Chair

After running into a flopped boat when I flopped trip-9s I was down to 90 chips in 6-max. And came back to win. What was my triple-up hand? 74 that flopped 7s, turned trips, and rivered quads. Suckit.
