It’s so much fun to see a great poker mind like Tom Dwan absolutely MURDER the gang at High Stakes Poker, including this hand against Eli Elezra. Dwan hasn’t made a single mistake, and might be the biggest poker genius we’ll ever see on television.

The reason why he didn’t raise the river was because he was HOPING for the board to pair and at the same time hopefully make a strong hand for Eli.

Who else to start this weblog with than my man Phil Ivey flopping Quad Kings in the Aussie Millions.

Phil obviously plays the hand perfectly — but it helps when you flop the stone cold nuts, aye.
