Dana... It seems there are no after effects from eating the raw burger. You must have a cast iron stomach!

Yes! Have to say, I feel pretty perky, considering. Definitely no food poisoning, although I understand certain parasites etc take a while to make their presence known. If I start fitting or something, the team will definitely let you know...

[boldie]

lmao @Thereader mentioning that Micheals front tooth is a fake..and taking away an possibility of a cool story by saying that "it wasn't in a hockey match but I won't tell you how it happened".

You can tell your Blonde friends though..honest...come on..we won't tell anyone.

"That was excellent play," compliments Chad Brown as Valeriy Ilikyan takes down the first pot. Making a small raise, Maxime Villemure makes the calls and both players see a Flop. Valeriy bets 50k and Maxime calls. The Turn is the , Valeriy checks, Maxime bets 150k and Valeriy calls. River, both check, Valeriy wins with .

Ha ha......I draw the line at the baby photos because he would absolutely kill me.  But I will say he was beyond cute.  lol

As far as the tooth, earlier they were talking about him playing ice hockey in school and Lee Jones mentioned that he looked like a hockey player but his teeth were too nice.  That's why I responded thusly.  lol

Ha ha.....I don't know if across the pond you know what a "sucker punch" is but, if you do, that's part of the story.

Glen Chorny Wins Pot Off Maxime Villemure:

They see a flop of , and both check.  The turn brings the .  Maxime checks, Glen bets 81k; call.  River:   Check again to Glen, who bets 225k, eventually called by Maxime, who mucks upon seeing his . 

Speculation is rife as to the range Maxime Villemure would call with on the river - Ace high suggested by commentators.  What do you think?

*********Note**********

I have to say I am somewhat relieved at the speed at which these players make decisions.  There is nothing more annoying to watch (or, after a while, to play against) than a player who continually takes minutes to make decisions, all decisions, not just big or marginal ones...

One of the idiosyncrasies of playing online is that multitabling gets one used to making rapid calculatiions/decisions.  This seems to translate to a very relieving no-drama no-nonsense style of live play from a lot of the young players, which is great, IMO.  Downside:  attention span problems with the live game...

WOW @ Valeriy giving the boy grief during the hand he wasn't even involved in..did he actually complain about the time he took to make the call?

lol..oh please tell me it was a little girl that hit him!

Could that be why he called with the 9's for a coin-flip???

[danafish]

Our resident Russian Valeriy makes it 87k, and shortstacked "Canuck" Maxime makes it All In (see counts above). Some dwellage; some call-age.

Maxime -
Valeriy -

Board -

Double-up for the Canadian ("Canuck", ah ha ha), and their stack sizes have been virtually reversed, Maxime now on roughly 1.5 million and Valeriy down to 800k or so.

Are you sure, Reader? I heard that he had a secret obsession for toffee apples. In fact, here is now pinching a giant one. He sure looks happy.

[Djinn]

Michael Martin raises on the button, called by big blind Valeriy... 

the flop...  Check to Michael, call.
Turn:    Quick check again.  Michael checks behind.
River:    Valeriy bets out 100k... called.

Michael shows but the alone in Valeriy Ilikyan's hand is good enough to take it with the flush on the river.  Clearly not delighted that (a) he'd been called so speculatively twice by Valeriy  and (b) that he paid off the final bet with the four-flush so visible to everyone else.

He wins the next pot, though.
