Durrrr-Watch 2010: Multi-Tabling the WSOP
June 7, 2010 by admin
Filed under poker news
The online phenom is still alive and among the top 20 chip leaders in the $1,500 NLHE event, which began on Friday and still has 70 players remaining. He is also registered in the 2-7 Draw Lowball tournament that began around 5 p.m. and is taking place about 100 feet away.
Rather than focus all of his attention on one tournament, durrrr is sprinting back and forth trying to play as many hands as possible on both tables. In his haste to get back to the NLHE action, he incurred a one hand penalty in the lowball tournament for folding out of turn.
The penalty wins tonight’s moot point award, as Dwan went on to miss the next six hands anyway.

Durrrr-watch 2010: Rosenkrantz Gets "durrrr" Wet at WSOP
June 2, 2010 by admin
Filed under poker news
Smiling at his friend, durrrr went for a traditional high-five greeting but as their hands connected, his smile dried up and was gradually replaced with a look of disgust as it sunk in that Rosenkrantz’ hand was dripping wet!
As Durrrr wiped his now-sodden hand on his shirt, Rosenkrantz’s and his buddies burst into laughter and there was backslapping and merriment as their assorted friends took pleasure in durrrr running bad for once.
Exactly why Rosenkrantz’ hand was so wet we can only speculate.
Broken dryers in the restrooms? A practical joke that hit the spot?
For durrrr it was simply a case of “2 months, 2 million, 2 damn wet!”
Maybe tomorrow will be a better day, Tom…

High Stakes Snapshot: Hero Plays A Plenty
May 11, 2010 by admin
Filed under poker news
It all started when Tom “durrrr” Dwan made an incorrect hero call with nine-high vs Daniel Negreanu.
The hand was a rare unstraddled pot where Lex Veldhuis raised to $4,000 in late position with the A♥ 9♣.
Daniel Negreanu made the call in the small blind with the K♠ T♠ and durrrr called in the big blind with 9♥ 5♥.
The flop came 3♣ 7♠ 7♥. Negreanu checked and durrrr led for $10,700.
Veldhuis insta-folded and Negreanu made the call. When the turn came K♦ both players checked.
The river came Q♦ and Negreanu bet $28,200. durrrr tanked before wrongly calling with his nine high.
Unfortunately his nine was nowhere near good and rather than looking like a genius he looked just a little bit silly.
Phil Galfond was next on the hero bandwagon making a sick fold to save himself in a hand he never should have been in.
Galfond three-bet K♥ 5♦ vs an early position raise only to get cold fourbet out of the blinds by Eli Elezra’s K♦ K♣.
For some reason Galfond makes the call and the flop comes K♠ 9♣ 9♦. Galfond calls a bet on the flop and somehow checks the turn through in position when the 9♠ falls.
The river comes Q♠ and Elezra leads for $110,000 into $154,600. Galfond manages to find a fold with his nines full of kings.
Sick? Yes! But perhaps the sickest of the night was Lex Veldhuis’ river call on Doyle Brunson.
Doyle limped the big blind on Veldhuis’ straddle with Q♠ 7♠ and Veldhuis made it $11,000 with 9♠ 2♠.
Doyle called $9k more and to see a 6♠ 2♦ 3♥ flop.
Both players checked to a J♣ where Doyle led for $20,500.
Veldhuis made the call and the river dropped 4♣.
It didn’t end there, however. Elky joined the failed hero call camp after getting in far too deep with A♦ 6♦ by calling a three-bet in position only to stack off on a 4♣ 6♠ 8♠ Q♦ board vs durrrr’s A♠ A♣.
And last but not least Phil Galfond decided he’d fold another full house.
With Galfond in the straddle Negreanu raised in early position to $8,000 with the K♠ 5♠.
Veldhuis called on the button with the 9♦ 7♦ and Galfond defended his straddle with the 8♦ 7♠.
The flop came K♥ 8♣ 3♠ and Galfond checked and called. The turn brought the 8♥ and Galfond players checked.
The river brought the K♣ and Galfond checked and eventually folded to a full pot, $75,000, bet from Daniel Negreanu, successfully dodging another cooler.
And just like that the latest season of HSP comes to an end, a fitting conclusion to an eventful season.
It had everything we love about High Stakes Poker. The best players in the world doing their best to outplay each other, millions of dollars in cold hard cash trading hands and, of course, Gabe Kaplan.
