Default Re: WSOP reports \"Sends him into the tank\"

[ QUOTE ]
I've been reading WSOP reports on P....Listings and every 3rd hand someone goes "into the tank" and finally makes the toughest call of his life by calling with set of 5s on flushless, straightless and non-paired board to discover his opponent was holding KJ for one pair.

Example

Tobey Maguire is involved with one other player in a large pot with a board reading K-3-9-2 (9 and 2 of one suit). Maguire's opponent bets out $13,000 which sends him into the tank. Maguire eventually makes the call and the river falls A. Maguire pushes all-in and his opponent calls flipping over pocket nines for a set but Maguire had that beat with pocket kings for a better set. Go Spidey!

Don't believe everything you read. Maguire called after a few seconds, he then lead for 16,000 and his opponnent moved all in. He of course insta-called.

The press has an incomplete vision of every hand and sometimes guesses what they couldn't see and sometimes guesses wrong [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
