"Timex" Ticks Along
Apr 13, '08
Mike "Timex" McDonald form Canada coolly collected around 10,000 chips from a French opponent when he raised preflop,
got called, bet 1,300 on a flop of 7
3
2
, got called, bet 2,500 on a 4
turn, got called and bet 6,000 on a 2 river and got called. He turned over jacks and his French opponent looked surprised as if he'd been expecting something completely different.
The Frenchman's friend lookat at him with a hyper-exaggerated shrugh of the shoulders as if to say "What in the name of all the heavens were you doing?"

Thor Hansen is Gone
Apr 13, '08
Thor Hansen's short stack finally succumbed and the Norwegian hit the rail. Mickey Wernick is struggling to get moving with
about 7K. On a flop of J75 "The Worm" called a bet of 500. The flop came K and after his opponent checked Mickey bet 1,500. His opponent re-raised 5,000 and it didn't take Wernick too long to muck his hand with a sigh.
