Embarassing Social Gas
Tony Korfman, author of Texas Hold'em: Tournaments, Cash Games, & Embarassing Social Gas, was recently moved to a new table here in the Red Section of the Amazon Room. Aside from his book and antics, Korfman is also well known for finishing runner-up in the 2007 WSOP Seniors event.
Actually, in that event he was heads-up with Ernest Bennett and the two made a deal. Korfman made it apparent he was after the money and the money only. He agreed to let Bennett win the championship uncontested if Bennett was willing to split the prize money evenly. Bennett agreed and that is what they did.
In a recent hand, action folded to the small blind who raised to 6,000. Korfman, who was still in the process of unbagging his chips, made the call from the big blind and the two saw a flop of 
.
The small blind bet 8,000 and Korfman immediately raised to 22,000. The small blind called and then checked the 
on the turn. Korfman bet 30,000 and the small blind made another call. Both players then checked the 
on the river. The small blind turned over 
and Korfman mucked. Even with that loss, Korfman is sitting with around 300,000.
