Movember? Movember!

2013/11/21 12:28am by

In the past few years, Movember has become a very popular way of doing something in public to promote Men’s health. As we circulate among the tournament players, we’ve seen some amazing examples of the mustachio arts. We can’t be sure if these guys are actually raising money for the cause or just joining in the facial hair trend for fun – but either way, there’s some impressive growth out there.

We’ll be building on this gallery as the Fall Classic progresses…

    Huge hand

    2013/11/20 10:16pm by
  • Level: 5
  • Small Blind: 200
  • Big Blind: 400
  • Ante: 50
  • Chip Average: 24.8K
  • Remaining: 420
  • Entries: 520


    • It’s still only in level 5 but there are big enough stacks for some huge pots to develop. We came across a huge hand on the river on Table 47, where the player in Seat 10 had shoved and his opponent in Seat 1 was deeply in the tank.

    The board read 6 of Spades 7 of Spades Jack of Hearts 4 of Diamonds 9 of Spades and there was about 30K in the pot. The shove was for about 15K but he covered Nick in Seat 1. After quite a while in the tank Nick called time on himself and after about 35 more seconds he folded Jack of Spades Jack of Diamonds – top set – face up. The player in seat 10 had agreed to show his hand if he got the fold – and flipped over Ace of Hearts 6 of Clubs for a pretty audacious bluff.
