Re: WSOP Main Event starts tomorrow
At least it wasn't an ace high straight, getting done by a flush.
I'm not perfect. I'm what perfect aspires to become

Re: WSOP Main Event starts tomorrow
i reckon if you were the guy holding the aces, you would seriously just go and punch the other guy in the face.
but then again, calling all in on just a pair of aces would be dubious as well.

Wow.
With $20,000 in chips, a deep structure and lots of play, no doubt you'd be expecting some nut or close-to-nut hands to be shown down.
Well, you'd be surprised!
4-5 for the straight? Er, no.
6-6 for top set? Er, no.
Kings vs. aces? Well nearly ...
In fact it was aces versus JACKS! Yes; one player decided to wantonly throw his tournament life onto the fire, holding nothing more than a small overpair of jacks, and naturally he ran into a bigger hand.
Poker is a cruel mistress though and the guy with aces was the one to suffer, as a jack spiked on the river to cut his tournament cruelly short. This beat no doubt explained his hasty departure from the scene, while the man with jacks lives on, doubled up and our next Main Event Champion in the making perhaps?
Nice post MUZZ, keep it up M8.

From http://www.pokernews.com live updates.
Quad Aces are Good, Right? ... RIGHT?
Motoyuki "Moto" Mabuchi raises to 850 in middle position and the button calls. The flop is Ax Qd 9x and both check. The turn is 10d and Moto bets 1,600. The button calls. The river is the Ad and Moto bets 2,500. The button raises to 8,500 and Moto reraises all in. The button calls. Moto shows Ax Ax for quad aces, but the button has for the royal flush. Moto is eliminated in stunning fashion.

At the start of the day, they announced that the first Royal Flush would get a $100 massage voucher. I'd just be happy with the chips.
