Good for you. Seriously, good for you. I doubt if I'd have berated the guy. I probably would've offered up the proverbial "What the hell were you thinking?" Punching a stall door... good call there too. Much louder bang than hitting a wall, and they're much more forgiving.

 

brief threadjack:

Father in law playing at a cash game.....He gets QJ---flop comes QQJ.......he bets.......gets called...turn J....father in law bets all in with over $400 in cash....guy with under 200 calls him.

Quad Jacks.

 

Wait a minute - did your father win the hand? What did the other guy have like A-Q or something?

 

How could the guy have quad jacks? Your father in law had one jack and there were two on the board. So it would be impossible for the other guy to have quads.

 

Chef's FIL was not a victim of a bad beat on this hand. He won it with quad Jacks.

 

OK, that's fine. But stories like this only make sense if we know what both guys are holding and the only hand I can figure a guy with that board would call an all in with is a hand containing a Q - giving him a full house. But we don't know that because we weren't told.

 

The hell it wasn't, Inky. The damn deck had five jacks in it.

 

Looks there'll be about 6000 in the Main Event. At last check, Doyle, Dewey Tomko, Josh Arieh (suck it) and Eli Elezra have all busted in Day 1A.

By the way, the Deuce to Seven Lowball final table, my God:

Seat No. 1: Erik Seidel
Seat No. 2: Chad Brown
Seat No. 3: Todd Brunson
Seat No. 4: Andrew Black
Seat No. 5: Barry Greenstein
Seat No. 6: Freddy Deeb
Seat No. 7: Lamar Wilkinson
Seat No. 8: Shawn Sheikhan

(with Cunningham 10th and Jesus 12th!)

Seidel wins his 8th bracelet.

 

Doyle Brunson, Johnny Chan, Marcel Luske, Greg Mueller, Marco Traniello, Devilfish Ulliot, Chris Reslock and Steve Billirakis are done.

In honor of the WSOP, I went down to the local card room today for the $100 buy in tournament they have on Fridays. Got down to about 12 players, lost a healthy chunk of my stack on A-10 when the big stack with K-10 hits his king. Then, we get to the final table, and I'm second short stack. First hand: The same guy raises under the gun, I move all in with pocket 8s. He calls with Q-10. Flop comes 4-10-J. I get the third 8 on the turn. Then a 9 comes on river to fill his straight and I get eliminated.

Oh well.

 

That'll be $1, sir.

 

A CORRECTION ON MY PART

FATHER IN LAW HAD QQ......Flop comes QJJ......call, raise, call.

Turn.......Jack.

Father in law had queens full.......opponent had JJ.

Opponent rakes with Quad Jacks.

My most sincere apologies.

 

Lot of swinging Richards at that table.

Too bad Mike Matusow wasn't one of them. He and Sheikhan would have dropped the cards and thrown.
