Pad the Stats

The bubble just burst in the $2,000 No-Limit Hold-Em tournament, and one of those who made the money was one Phillip Hellmuth, Jr., who cashed for the 70th time at the World Series of Poker. That extends his own record for cashes; next on the agenda would be his 42nd final table, and beyond that his 12th bracelet–all also WSOP records.
But right on Phil’s heels is T.J. Cloutier, who also cashed today and now sits in 4th place. He’s also second to Phil in career WSOP final tables. And he happens to be sitting directly to Phil’s right at the moment:
There was a big hand where T.J. folded pocket Jacks and Phil folded pocket nines (so they said) after a player holding pocket eights made a big re-raise to push them off their hands. That player blundered into the pocket Aces of the player in the big blind, and neither T.J. nor Phil was crazy about that play (actually it was T.J. who was the far more animated). “That was sick,” Phil said, “people think you’re stealing with Jacks…this table scares me.”
That got T.J. in a storytelling mood–he talked about a four-handed game where three players flopped sets and the fourth flopped the nut flush draw. Then he talked about a couple who got decapitated in the parking lot of the Bicycle Club in the early 1990’s. Uhh…I liked the first story better.
