We have 95 players remaining and they are all gone to grab something to eat. One hour dinner break.
The very same two players battle again and the small blind check-raised from 12,000 to 40,000 on the flop. Kevin Detienne called and the small blind then immediately went all in once the dealer spread the turn. Detienne asked for a count and then folded to the bet of 48,500.
The small blind said "good fold" and seat two jumped into the discussion with a "For you or him?" "Him," the small blind replied. Detienne nodded and was pretty sure his opponent had a big hand there.
96 players left.

Not many people are familiar with Bob Hooks, but he is a man the poker world should not soon forget. Despite not being active in the poker world anymore, Hooks came up as a Texas road gambler with the likes of Doyle Brunson, T.J. Cloutier, Johnny Moss, Amarillo "Slim" Preston, and so many more.
Hooks got his start in Texas, as so many of the old-time poker legends did, before he eventually made the leap to Las Vegas. Alongside his roommate Brian "Sailor" Roberts, Hooks made it to heads-up play in the 1975 World Series of Poker Main Event, but lost out on the title. Even without poker immortality reached, Hooks has so much to offer looking back on the old days of the game.

It takes more than good folds to win tournaments as Ramana Epparla has just proved in his bust out hand. He was in the small blind and held and ended up running a triple barrel bluff on an eventual board that read . Unfortunately his opponent had more chips than him and had started the hand with .
Epparla had played a solid thoughtful game over the past two days but tournament poker can be a cruel mistress and one big mistake can see you out on your ear.

Yesterday Dennis Phillips couldn’t win a flip; today he just won one that doubled him up to just above average. It was all in preflop against Tanya Gawarecki.
Phillips had the dreaded and Gawarecki had the even less loved .
This time the ace king prevailed but, as they both recalled it, the flop was giving her outs to a straight but the ten didn’t pop out of the deck and they swapped stack sizes.
