Hammer!

We hold a special place in our hearts for players who play hold'em's worst starting hand -- seven-deuce offsuit, nicknamed "the Hammer" -- as if it's the nuts. That's why we've recently fallen for Jason Gray. His only mistake was not raising preflop in a hand against Martin Rowe. He did bet the turn for 95,000 and the river for 300,000 on a board of {4-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {J-Hearts} {6-Clubs}. And of course, he showed his hand after Rowe folded the river, as is required for proper Hammer play.
