Re: National Heads Up Poker Championship
I thought this was interesting:
Erik Seidel had non-professional player Dennis Wager short-stacked and all in on a flop of A-3-3 with two spades. Wager called with Q-5 suited -- a flush draw. Seidel had a solid lead with A-6 for top pair. But rather than making his flush, Wager caught runnings fives -- a full house! He doubles up, putting him back in the game.

Re: National Heads Up Poker Championship
Found this pic with Dennis in it. For non Canterbury players Dennis is the guy in the hat behind TJ, here
I can't wait for some stories from Dennis' perspective [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Well, Dennis won. Wow. Seidel is a frigging fool. [/ QUOTE ] After the flop, Dennis Wager is all in with pocket 6s, and Scott Fischman has paired the 2 in his hand. But the turn brings another 2, giving Fischman trips, and leaving Wager looking for one of the two remaining sixes. The river brings a 7, eliminating Dennis Wager. Scott Fischman advances to Round 3, where he will face the winner of the David Sklansky/Johnny Chan match. Even though he lost, Dennis Wager uses this opportunity to borrow the microphone for a brief thank you, and then gets down on one knee and proposes to his girlfriend Laura, who accepts. Dennis Wager was in the event as a guest of the casino (there were a few sponsor exemptions into the event), and he had a great time making it to Round 2, and a memorable story for his marriage proposal. Oh man now forever he's gonna be talking about how he got all in with the best of it and lost...
