Week Five - October 2-3
(C-Note: As always, what follows are
televised-hand-by-televised-hand accounts.
Obviously, since it's only an hour show, most hands are
not televised so you're going to see a lot of jumping of
the dealer button. For more information on this and
other poker precepts, visit Chris Wolvie's
Poker Primer. In the meantime, here's
Robert!)
Joining Chad Brown at
the booth is Mike "the Mouth" Matesau (Oy!) who was
wearing something form the Tony Slattery Whose Line
wardrobe (Double oy!). Mike is a former dealer and 2002
Omaha Champion at the WSOP.
This time on the show we have a lady playing the great
game of Hold'em with a Trip to Mexico City on the line
along with the cash.
Players: Jimmy Ngua Tian/Rick Russal/Gary Beck/Chad
Layne/Eric Nickelson/Kathy Liebert/Don Barton (chip
leader)
Once again, no chip counts are given so I can keep count
throughout the show. BTW, the show doesn't give chip
counts. Makes me yearn for Celebrity Poker Showdown
tomorrow.
