Level 5:  Blinds 150/300/25 ante

Table 11 didn’t need any help perking up, but with the addition of Adam ‘megalodon’ Santos, it has gotten even more rowdy.

“Look at all these sharks,” Adam said, pointing to his tablemates Peter Walsworth, Filip Khavin, Joe Gibbons, and Jeff Trudeau.

Joe and Adam got to the turn on a board of .  Joe asked what Adam had left and it was just two gray chips (10k).  Adam kept trying to put them in the pot and the dealer kept pushing them back since the action was on Joe.

“Ok, I check” Joe said and then Adam pushed his last 10k out.  “You’ve got hooks,” Joe said.  “I’ve got one hook and you’ve got a flush draw, so I’m ahead,” Adam replied.

The table had ordered a round of 1800 tequila shots and the server was delivering them during this hand.  Joe told the table he was going to wait to make his decision until after he did his shot.  Nine players raised their glasses (Adam does not drink, so he abstained) and downed their shots.  Joe put his empty glass on the table and said “Call!” as the threw down his .

True to his word, Adam tabled for trip Tens with one hook.  “Diamond!” called Joe.  Sure enough the river delivered the and once again the table erupted.  Adam was busted — not sure if he’s planning to re-enter.

Level 2:  Blinds 50/100

Richard Hope (Dade City, FL) is a staple here in the Seminole Hard Rock Tampa and he’s back on the felt today in Flight F.

Before the blinds went up, he tangled with the utg player in seat 8.  On the flop of seat 8 checked, Richard bet, and got the call.  Turn was the and again it went check, bet call.

River was the and the action was the same.  Seat 8 showed pocket Kings, but he was beat by Richard’s pocket Jacks, which had flopped a set.
