Raymond Davis Wins a Big Pot

After an early position limp and a raise, Raymond Davis re-raised and was called by the big blind (who was forced to go all-in) as well as by the original raiser. They checked the {6-Spades}{3-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop, but Davis came out betting after the {3-Diamonds} fell on the turn. The other player called and also called after Davis bet out after the {9-Spades} on the river. Davis showed A-A-8-5 for Threes full of Aces and won a big pot. He currently sits with 6,900.

The Situation Deteriorates

How strong is the wind buffeting the Poker Pavilion? It's ripped two doors off their hinges and it's now nearly impossible to keep them closed. The sucking wind keeps ripping them open and their constant banging is a major distraction to the players.

Some Editorial Comments

Apparently some of the play so far hasn't been up to the standards of certain people, including one dealer who said something that elicited this comment from "Minneapolis" Jim Meehan: "We paid $1500 to enter this event just to hear the dealer say, 'You morons, I've never seen donkeys like you in my entire life!'?"

No word on whether Meehan agreed with that comment.

Raymond Davis Loses A Big Pot

One of the biggest pots so far today came between Raymond Davis and another player who engaged in several raises both before and after the {J-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop. Davis check-called as the {9-Hearts} and {K-Hearts} followed and showed the {Q-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for the 2nd-nut flush, only to lose out to the other player's {A-Hearts}{6-Hearts} nut flush.

Mass Exodus

The powers that be have heard the player's complaints and decided that conditions inside the Poker Pavilion just won't do. They're moving the players into the Amazon Room table-by-table to get them out of that howling wind.
