Title: ESPN Featured Table Update
Log: Today's opening table on the ESPN Stage features defending World Series of Poker champion Greg Raymer. Here are the seating positions and chip counts:

Seat 1: Karlo Lopez - $910,000
Seat 2: Michael Kessler - $725,000
Seat 3: Tom Sartori - $975,000
Seat 4: James Butt - $600,000
Seat 5: Greg "Fossilman" Raymer - $1,080,000
Seat 6: Patrick Hayden - $1,200,000
Seat 7: Radu Butan - $460,000
Seat 8: Shahram "Sean" Sheikhan - $1,050,000

Did Greg and others play some hands before moving to the ESPN table, or is Card Player making up chip amounts? That's $300K difference in the "starting" chip stack.

Someone posted a hand where Greg won a $400K pot against Sartorio(sp?)

But CP just posted the blinds are going up to 8K/16K/2K from 8K/16K/2K. Huh?

They've been playing since noon (approximately).

Realplayer? Gak. I'll cross my fingers that the stream stays up.

JJJ88 · #**175** 07-13-2005, 04:35 PM

No, they will only play down to 27 today.
They will play down to 9 tomorrow.
The final table will be on Friday.

No. She won her place in a live sat. The Gutshot club is a B&M poker club, with an associated internet site.

Title: Matusow vs. Tex
Log: Mike Matusow limps on the button, and Tex Barch follows him in. The flop comes Qh-Jc-2c. Tex checks, and Matusow bets out $36,000 in chips. Tex calls. The turn is the 5h. Tex checks again, and Matusow makes it $100,000 to go. Tex calls again. The river is the Kh. Tex checks again, and Matusow goes into the tank. He comes up firing, making a $250,000 bet. Now it's Tex's turn to go in the tank. Eventually he calls, and Matusow shows 8h-6h for the flush. Tex mucks his hand. Matusow now has $3,130,000. Tex has $1,530,000.

Matusow recounted his thinking for CardPlayer.com saying that he sensed weakness in Tex so he bet at the flop. Tex didn't go away, but Matusow still thought he was a bit weak so he fired another barrel on the turn. When Tex called again he was ready to give up on the bluff, but then his heart hit on the turn, so he actually had a made hand, and that's when he made the big bet

What a complete johnson... I am going to enjoy watching his bluffs get rocked.
