Treasure Island - 11am $50 tournie

After leaving Caesars I gave this one a go, and got nothing going. I managed to finish 5th after playing like a rock but only 2 spots paid.

One amusing hand to report:

Can't remember any of the action till the river, but it's a big pot and board is:

K, x, x, x, x with no straight or flushes.

Italian guy bets 600 on river, and American older guy raises to 2800 with 3k behind.

Italian guy sighs, and pushes all his chips over the line and says "all in". However he only has 2100 behind so has called all in.

Dealer waits. Players wait. I look at dealer, down at chips and back at dealer waiting for him to initiate showdown.

Nothing happens.

American guy scratches his chin and says "I can't beat a set of kings. I have a decent hand but can't call a shove" and promptly mucks!

So Italian (who to be fair didn't realise what had happened) rakes a monster pot uncontested.

I love these tournies. Still never win them though :)
