"Is That Even Allowed?"

Nível 2
: 25/50, 0 ante
About a half an hour into the tournament we heard the question above being loudly directed to Tournament Director Jack Effel, and after he looked down from the podium to see what all the fuss was about, it turned out to be nothing more than a bad beat story.
"I turned a full house..." said the man who had just made a second-best monster. "And he had quads!"
According to Andy Kurtz, the winner of the hand, the action limped around to the complainer on the button, who raised to 125. That bet was called in three spots, including by Kurtz who held 
.
The flop rolled out 
to give Kurtz quads on the flop, and like Mike McD before him, he checked, checked, checked in hopes of trapping.
All four players in the pot tapped the table on the flop, and this action repeated on the 
turn. When the 
completed the board on the river, Kurtz checked his monster for a third time, and with the action now on him, the man who wanted to know if bad beats are legal decided to fire out for 450. After all, his 
had hit the turn hard to give him a full house, but when Kurtz raised all-in for less than the starting stack, the player with a full boat begin to suspect something was amiss.
"I even ran through the hands that could beat me," he told us after the hand. "Aces, four-five of hearts, quads... but I had to call."
After committing the calling chips to halve his own stack, the man discovered his instincts were indeed correct, as Kurtz rolled over his quad threes to double up in style.

Unabombed
Nível 2
: 25/50, 0 ante
We noticed Phil Laak and his inimitable ski goggle and hoodie get up missing from his seat, and after a bit of investigation we found out how the "Unabomber" met his demise.
Apparently, Laak held 
on a board reading 
by the turn, and trying to push an amateur off the pot like pros are wont to do, he fired away with an all-in bluff on fourth street.
An unidentified player snapped him off though, and Laak knew the score immediately, telling the man "Ahh, you must have the nine then."
Sure enough, Laak's opponent tabled 
for a full house to cripple the longtime pro, and he soon lost the rest of his micro-stack to Lynne Barner in the next seat over.
Barner told us that she couldn't remember Laak's holding, but that her 
flopped two pair to send him to the rail with an early exit.

Rex Ravaging in 2014
Nível 2
: 25/50, 0 ante
Rex Clinkscales is a World Series of Poker Circuit grinder who has made a few big scores over the last couple of years, including a 1st place performance in the 2012-13 WSOP Circuit Harrah's Philadelphia Main Event.
Midway through 2014, Clinkscales is off to a torrid start, as he has taken home three trophies in as many months.
First, Clinkscales took down the 2014 Wynn Classic's $550 No-Limit Hold'em title in February to add $39,661 to his roll. Then in April he won a $300 NLHE event at the Venetian Deep Stack Extravaganza II series for a $9,073 payday.
Finally, Clinkscales won the Colorado Poker Championship in May for another big score, giving him a bit of momentum heading into the WSOP.
He chatted with PokerNews' ace reporter Chad Holloway earlier in the week to talk about the big win, and his plans for the summer, so click over and listen to what the rising poker star had to say.

"Ooh, A Piece of Candy!"
Nível 3
: 50/100, 0 ante
During the recent break James Woods - a legendary actor of the silver screen who also lends his voice to a Family Guy character based on himself - filled us in on a miraculous suckout he scored to keep himself in the tournament.
According to Woods, he held 
with the board showing a king, a queen, and two spades by the turn. Woods knew he was drawing extremely thin, needing to spike the only non-spade deuce in the deck, but with a short stack and most of his chips already in the pot, he went for the gusto.
Sure enough, his two opponent's showed down a pair and a flush draw, respectively, but the 
materialized on the river to send the pot Woods' way. With his ever-present smile now even wider, Woods received an unlikely second chance, and the affable actor now has a replenished stack with which to work.

Bachman Turner Underpair
Nível 3
: 50/100, 0 ante
We passed by Jon "PearlJammed" Turner's table recently just in time to catch him calling an all-in wager of 1,700.
The bet was made by Curtis Harrison, who quickly tabled 
when Turner looked him up. The longtime pro also held a pocket pair, but his 
was crushed by Harrison's cowboys.
With it being 100 degrees outside in the Las Vegas desert, Turner's snowmen quickly melted away as the final board rolled out 
.
