Badgirl just did the Rookie proud...

Having lost a race for half her stack with QQ vs AK, she limped on the button after four previous limpers with   and saw a juicy   flop. Checked all round, she bet 10k, only to be raised a further 15k all-in from the big blind...calling with a "I'm not passing this" the raiser turned over   for top pair...by the turn he was drawing dead and Badgirl is back up to around 70k.

Where are you Brian...?

very nice, very very nice

Hi India -

Oh I have some stories about him - today has been a rollercoaster (is it ever a smooth climb?  No.):  over 30k, under 10k coming to rest about 25k... but the note I can read my writing on was actually from yesterday, where he was basically given a second life...

OK so Nik had 36k (at one of his peaks) at the 200/400 blind level.  UTG (described as 'Scandie, aggressive, good, aggressive etc.') raised to 1,100 and Nik decided to smooth call from the blinds with .
Flop:    Nik bets out 2k, gets raised to 5,500.  "This is where I start to feel a bit ill.  But I call."
Turn:    Nik checks, Scandieboy bets 12,500 - full pot - leaving Nik to dwell until the clock is called.

Now, in the first version of events I heard, he used up a full five minutes before passing the Queens and being shown Kings.  Good pass Nik.

What actually happened was that the floor was called to put the clock on him, and he sort of waved his hand around when the clock rules were being recited.  The floor shut up until he started to count down from 10..9..8.. During this time, Nik said, "I didn't put him on Aces or Kings because he'd always re-raised preflop with hands like that, been playing with him seven hours, that's an oddly large bet for someone with a huge made hand..." 
"Seven...Six...Five...Four," said the floor.  Nik didn't snap out of it until the floor said, "One." 
"All in," said Nik, pushing his stack over the line.
"If you'd listened to the rules," replied the floor, "You'd have known that your hand is declared dead on 'One.'"

THEN he got to show QQ and be shown KK in return.  What a save.

great story!

We can't answer any request at the moment because the players are on their dinner break.

Can you sing 'My Way' for us?

My buddy Chris Odle is out, he pushed QQ into AA.  Thanks everyone here and blondepoker for giving me updates, and good luck to everyone that is still in.

If he's in the same seat he started in, he's got 65k.

How likely is that?
