Wanna bet?

[user3511]

The England vs Israel Football match has started and Tony G and Lee Watkinson are contemplating betting on the game, despite neither man knowing anything about the sport.

Watkinson "50 bux?"

Tony G "Make it 20,000".

If only the UK sports books knew about this.

Phil Gordon has just walked over to me and asked who was winning the HORSE event. I asked him if he wanted a bet on the chip leader. He told me he bet it was Jennifer Harman. I decided not to take the bet (as she is indeed the chip leader).

Man, that Phil Gordon is one tall drink of water

De Wolfe Takes One from Gold

On a paired board with three diamonds, Jamie Gold fired out 5,000. Roland de Wolfe went into the tank. Gold started his usual table banter. "I don't have Aces full. I either have the nut flush or nothing."

A player not in the hand called a clock on De Wolfe. He then quickly called and showed a Jack-high flush. Gold flipped over K-K-x-x for two pair. De Wolfe sniffed out a bluff and dragged the pot around 15,000.

Daniel Negreanu Out

Daniel Negreanu ran into a tough hand according to a tablemate, when his opponent made the nut flush on the turn, with Daniel putting his chips in. The river did not pair the board, leaving his opponent with the nut flush, and Daniel mucked his cards.

"Very Good Last Card"

Henrik Olander has just won a monster three-way pot, Patrik Antonius and Mark Vos being forced to step down as the Scandinavian pushed all-in for several thousand on a {Q-Spades}

board.

"That was a very good last card for you, huh?" inquires the Devilfish seemingly already knowing of the answer.

Olander, as cucumber cool as ever, simply smiled and concurred with the leather clad Fish.

Interesting hand on the REAL table of death.

On a board of {7-Spades}

Man with Glasses checks
Howard Lederer checks and shows {10-Clubs}

for a straight.
Man with Glasses doesnt show his hand and announces "I want to bet"
Dealer tells him he can't.
Man with Glasses throws 3000 chips in the middle "I bet"
Dealer puts the 3000 back and orders him to show his {J-Spades}
