Pumping up a big pot on the river without the nuts

[ClaytonN]

Long time, no see.

Moving my money to Bodog, realized that there was $40 left over at Party, so I played with it [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I did have a pretty interesting hand come out of it, though.

No notes on anybody, except a player who folded the flop was a complete maniac (but since he isnt in the hand, he doesnt count!)
