Quote of the Month: Mad Marty Wilson regaling players at a TV tournament — “I spoke about my grandma, the Guinness Book of Records, Lou Macari, and my sheepskin coat. Just as the door opened with the money coming in, I gave six players the punch line. And after one hour and thirty-five minutes, Tony Cascarino replied that he’d heard it before !”

Story of the Month: Cardplayer’s Barry Shulman takes third spot at PokerStars Caribbean Adventure.

He induced Reiman to fold 8Heart Suit 7Diamond Suit with a big river bet. Gimbel held 36 million after the hand, and he started to close the door."
