WSOP Main Event

Uh.... after attempting multiple online and a few live satellites, I failed to win my way in. No way I'm dishing out $10K to play in this donkament, especially when I read about hands like this:


Quad Aces are Good, Right? ... RIGHT?
Motoyuki "Moto" Mabuchi raises to 850 in middle position and the button calls.

The flop is Ax Qd 9x and both check. The turn is Td and Moto bets 1,600. The button calls. The river is Ad and Moto bets 2,500. The button raises to 8,500 and Moto reraises all in.

The button calls. Moto shows AA for quad aces, but the button has KdJd for the royal flush. Moto is eliminated in stunning fashion.

Nostalgia

September 4, 1983

Dear Mom and Dad,

........I've decided that if we fight the Fucking Russian Communist Bastards they won't have to draft me as I'll be one of the first in line to kill the Reds. I cannot believe their contempt for human decency and their lack of any morality....
