That is a table of death!

Some big names on that table.

Good Luck Rocco!!

[muzzington]

That's pretty cool for Rocco. I'd be scared and fascinated at the same time.

Tanaka Makes Huge Fold

Written by thkcduckworth, 2009 02 05 03:37 pm EST
Four players saw a limped pot with the board reading [ac] [kd] [8h]. The turn fell the [7s] and Nobbi Tanaka led out for 500 before being raised to 2,000 by Monica Nguyen.

With the action back on Tanaka he sat in the tank for over two minutes before open-mucking his [kh] [8d]. The table sat back in amazement with Tanaka taping the [7s] that had landed on the turn. The table than prodded Nguyen to show her hand and she obliged by showing her [7d] [7h] for a turned set.

With Tanaka making a great fold he keeps his 16,000 stack in play.
