Class of the 2007 WSOPE

"I hope you have brought enough gum for everyone Annette," said Headmaster McCullough
"I hope you have brought enough gum for everyone Annette," said Headmaster McCullough
Now that everyone has moved round the table a little to make space, Matthew McCullough is now sat at the 'head' of the table with the rest of the players in a long line. As McCullough is the oldest at an otherwise young field, it looks a great deal like he is a teacher with a class full of naughty children.

Whether or not he will be teling them off if they beat him in a pot remains to be seen.

Hand #61 - Dominic Kay

John Tabatabai has the button in Seat 3. Annette Obrestad raises to 235,000 from the small blind, setting Dominic Kay all in, and he calls. Obrestad shows the {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}, but Kay woke up with {A-Clubs}{A-Spades} in the big blind. The flop is {K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}, the turn is the {2-Hearts}, the river is the {10-Diamonds}, and Kay doubles through Obrestad.

Hand Analysis: Hands #51-60

"Yeah! I finally won a pot..."
"Yeah! I finally won a pot..."
Magnus Persson busted out on Hand #59. He started the day 3rd in chips and his stack slowly dwindled away during the course of the afternoon. He shoved with {K-Spades}{10-Hearts} and ran into pocket Cowboys.

John Tabatabai added to his chiplead as he picked up five pots and busted Persson. He has won 22% of the pots over the last 50 hands.

Dominic Kay picked up a pot. Yet, he's still the short stack. He needs to wake up to a hand soon, otherwise he's doomed.

Oyvind Riisem finally broke out of his slump and won a pot. He raised preflop and... got no action. He has now won only three pots over the last 50 hands. To quote Texas Dolly, "You gotta give action to get action."
