"Asshole" On My Forehead

Hafiz Khan started the action by raising to 4,500. Anthony Ruberto three-bet to 11,500, and the action folded back to Khan who made it 20,500 - a little more than a min-raise.

"Is that a min-raise?" Ruberto said quizzically. "What are you doing, man? If you just jam, I beat you into the pot."

Khan said nothing. He sat silently with his left hand over his mouth, shuffling a stack of purple T500 chips in his right.

"Shoulda just jammed," Ruberto repeated before folding.

"The bet was the same as a shove, right?" Khan finally spoke.

"Stop saying all that B.S.," Ruperto retorted.

"You were the one talking during the hand," Khan fired back.

"Does it look like I have 'asshole' on my forehead?" Ruberto asked sarcastically. "You cost yourself some chips."

Miller Time

Livello 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Nicholas Blumenthal opened to 3,200 from early position, Faraz Jaka re-raised to 8,800 on his direct left, and Miller Dao moved all in for around 30,000 from the blinds. Blumenthal immediately called with around 20,000 behind, and Jaka mucked.

Blumenthal: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Dao: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

"Come on," Blumenthal lamented. "Yack!"

He did not find a "yack" on the {2-Spades}{5-Hearts}{10-Spades}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts} board however, and the man who sits 15th on the 2011 World Series of Poker Player of the Year list was eliminated just short of the money, and some extra points.

I Am Not Results Oriented Except When I Am

Livello 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Samad Rashid raised to 3,900 from the cutoff, and it folded to Viktor Zsemlye in the small blind who after some deliberation set his remaining 28,100 before him. Haralabos Voulgaris folded from the big blind, then Rashid thought out loud a bit about the situation. As he spoke, Zsemlye sat wordlessly with his head down.

Finally he called, and Zsemlye looked up as he tabled his {A-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. "That's a good call," said Rashid of his decision as he turned over his {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}. Then came the flop -- {A-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{3-Spades}. "That's a bad call," said Rashid, not missing a beat at the sight of Zsemlye's two pair.

The dealer burned and turned the next card -- the {6-Diamonds}! "Oh," said Rashid, as if humbled by the surprising turn of fortune. The river was the {8-Diamonds}, and Zsemlye has been eliminated.

"Dealer, you have been forgiven for all of your past sins," smiled Rashid afterwards as he stacked his chips. He now has about 128,000.

Schulman Falls

With the board reading {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{5-Spades}, we arrived at the table to find Nick Schulman having check-raised a bet of 5,000 to 12,800. Massimiliano Martinez, though, was next to act and he shoved with the big stack. The better folded, putting the decision on Schulman for his remaining 54,000ish.

After about 30 seconds Schulman called and tabled {A-Spades}{J-Spades}. Martinez showed {3-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for flush and straight draws and while he didn't get there on the {6-Hearts} turn, he did when the {7-Clubs} river fell.
