The Montel Williams Show

Montel Williams opened the pot with a raise to 2,000, an opponent moved all in for 33,725 and Williams called. Williams turned up A-K while his opponent tabled J-J. The flop was {A-Hearts}{10-Spades}{6-Hearts} pairing Williams' ace. The turn was the {6-Diamonds}, the river was the {4-Clubs}, and Williams dragged another huge pot, eliminating his opponent in the process.

Williams was up to 150,000 after the hand.

Montel seems to be a very stand up guy. Its nice to see him doing well.

Didn't know he could play poker but he seems cool, would be neat to see him make a little run

de Wolfe Makes a Big Laydown Before the Break

On a board showing {5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{K-Spades}, with approximately 20,000 already in the pot, Roland de Wolfe's opponent in the small blind made it 5,000 to go; de Wolfe called instantly. Going into the river, de Wolfe had about 35,000 behind, while his opponent sat with just 6,300.

The last card off the deck was the {J-Diamonds} and the small blind immediately moved all in for his last 6,300.

At this point, Roland paused and asked his opponent, "What do you think I have?" His opponent stayed quiet and shortly after, Roland folded pocket fives face-up on the table, revealing that he'd made top set on the flop.

After the hand was over, Roland politely interrogated his opponent for any information he could get as to whether or not he'd made the correct laydown, but his opponent wouldn't budge.

"The whole hand didn't really seem right," Roland told me after the hand. "6,000 was a lot of my stack and I was looking for a better spot."

Note: Roland busted the same opponent not even a half an hour after this hand took place, getting the better end of a coinflip situation.

What was that all about? Folding fifth nuts on the river getting 6:1?

Surely this is misreported...who folds a set on that board getting 6 to 1?

Edit: Beaten, but my post is easier to read.

A coinflip was the better spot he was looking for? lol
