Vroomin' Vrooman

Former light middleweight world boxing champ Ronald Lamont "Winky" Wright is here, taking his shot playing in a different sort of ring.

Just now Wright opened with a raise to 300 from under the gun, and it folded to Allan Vrooman who reraised to 800 from the cutoff. The big blind called, as did Wright.

The flop came {6-Clubs}{K-Spades}{4-Hearts}. It checked to Vrooman who bet 1,250, and both opponents called. All three checked the {4-Spades} turn.

The river brought the {9-Clubs}, and this time the big blind pushed out 5,500. Wright got out of the way, and Vrooman called. Vrooman tabled pocket queens, and his opponent 7-6 -- both black suits (the dealer scooped up the cards quickly). Vrooman is at 40,000.
