Sunday

Full Tilt started their weeklong tournament today. Howard Lederer came third and Roland De Wolfe (another Full Tilt pro) won. Rigged. Obv. But the funniest moment from the final table came from an observer in the chat:

Nsight7 (Observer): Can we shut observer chat off?

Come on, that's funny.

I played that Full Tilt event and Stars and Party as usual today and didn't cash in any. I had two semi-interesting AA vs KK hands on Stars:

I guess I forgot to bust this guy but I think it's hard for me to bet the turn when they both call the flop and the flush card hits. If it had gone bet/call I think I was going to fold? Weak.

This guy trapped me! There was no way I was doubling him up with KK vs AA unless he played it like this. Good job sir, you got me.
