If Ted Forrest wins this tournament, he better tip a dealer named Kojo very, very heavily.

We came by Forrest's table as the river was being dealt. Forrest was all in against Keith Sexton. Sexton had apparently already told Forrest that Sexton had three jacks. Forrest told Sexton that he had two pair.

Somehow, as the river cards were being dealt, Kojo the dealer skipped Forrest, delivered a river card to Sexton and dropped the stub onto the burn cards. Forrest then asked where his river card was.

A floor was summoned, who ruled that Sexton should keep the river card that was suppposed to have been Forrest's. The stub would be reshuffled along with the burn cards, and then Forrest would receive a new river.

"It would be really sick if that card fills me up," said Forrest. It turned out that Sexton received an 8, a card which did not fill Sexton up.

"It would be even sicker if this card fills me up, said Sexton. His board showed . He squeezed his river and then looked at Sexton as if to say, "Sorry." He opened in the hole for nines full of deuces. Predictably, Sexton exploded in anger.

"Jesus Christ! I can't even win a pot and then you gotta do that!" He shouted at Kojo that Kojo needed to pay attention to what he was doing. Sexton also was unhappy with the floor ruling.

"I agree with you Keith," said Forrest. "I happened to benefit from it but I think it sucks. But Kojo, I'm going to try to win the tournament now."

"I hate poker for sh*t like this," said Sexton.

"THAT's why you hate poker?" asked David Grey. The table then started discussing how, at least online, there are no dealer errors. That prompted Forrest to state his wish that Full Tilt Poker would use a "real deck" the way PokerStars does.

"How can Dustin Wolfe beat me heads-up playing limit hold'em online every single time? The worst player in the world should win some. I won't even play him online anymore. Live is a different story." Forrest felt that some people have learned how to "time the algorithm" online, or at least have a good feel for it.

That conversation caught the attention of Perry Friedman, sitting one table behind. "Unless you can outsmart quantum randomness, it's impossible to time it," said Friedman. "If you hit the button at the exact same millisecond in a parallel universe, you'd get a different card."

Forrest didn't seem so certain about that, but it's hard to argue Friedman's knowledge of the FTP software. Whatever the story, Forrest is still in the tournament due to Kojo's error. He has 15,800, and a very pissed off Sexton has about 36,000.

Just got back into the house a few mintes ago. What a good time.

Here's a shot I got of Hellmuth deep in a NLHE tourney. Just read he finished 15th. Place was buzzin about him around the start of the final 3 tables this afternoon.

And the best story I saw from the WSOP wasn't a tourney or anyone I knew until a couple days before I went. I read two days before I went that Jean Robert Bellande was playing a guy Crazy Mike HU at Aria from his twitter. I walk into the cash game area around 10 am today and see two guys playing HU. One looked sort of like the pic Bellande posted of Crazy Mike(confirmed it tonight) and the other was an obese slob who could barely move. After awhile CM is berrating the shite outta this guy, telling him he knows his range and he's as predictable as it gets. He walks a few tables away and the dealer throws the cards. CM standing 3 tables over, watching another cash game, announces raise, slob calls. Turn is dealt, and CM raises him till he folds without ever looking at his cards. I come back by 15 mins later and a crowd starts to form. This guy needs to learn tourney poker so he can go against Hellmuth on tv. He'd make Hellmuth look tame.

P.S. I couldn't believe how many cash games were going on at all hours.

Boy Jen Harman is sure aging horribly



and it's his year
