Soooo, i was just doing my end of the night update reading and saw a post that pretty much sums up why i don't win... just picture me being the guy that bets the 10k on the river!!
and on a sidenote...can anybody tell me why you would call a guy "jeffrey" when his name is Jack?? that is my deep burning thought after 6 weeks of the rio...
The Loudest Cheer For The Oldest Player
A roar just went up in the far corner of the Amazon Room. What was it for? The best misread hand of the tournament. Jack "Jeffrey" Ury, who at 94 years young is the oldest player in the tournament, has just more than doubled up. In middle position, Jack called with two players limping before him. The big blind raised it up to 3,000 and only Jack made the call. The flop was 4d 7d Th and both players checked. The turn was the 9d and once again both players checked. The river paired the board with the Ts , and the big blind fired out a 10,000 bet, enough to put Jack all in. Jack was unable to see the board properly, so the dealer moved it over until it was right in front of him. He checked and rechecked both the board and his hole cards and then announced "I call, I got a straight!" At this point he rolled over pocket sixes -- no straight, just two pair, but it was enough to win the pot. His opponent mucked and the gallery let out the loudest cheer we have yet heard.
