Tuesday, 24th of January 2006 05:14 PM Our feature table has been broken and we will get a new gang after the next break Mike Matusow was complaining loudly that he was at "the toughest table on the planet." Image what Mike said when he got to his new table with Phil Ivey, ToddBrunson, Tex Barch, Chou Giang. And since there was an open seat Scotty Nguyen at the next table sat down and Mike was off again, just kidding Scotty stays at the table with Men The Master and Mark Seif. Tuesday, 24th of January 2006 05:11 PM 180 players remaining. Just saw Daniel Negreanu make a very nice play on the river with a board of Q63 turn 8 river 9; Daniel led out into two other players for 4600 just less than a pot size bet. Both players pondered but one fold and then one fast call and Daniel rolls over the JT for the nutz and a nice size pot. John D'Agostino is gone. Tuesday, 24th of January 2006 04:58 PM Mike "The Grinder" Mizrachi is under 2,000. Tuesday, 24th of January 2006 04:57 PM |
