Yeah I was wondering about that as well.
Oh and Isabelle Mercier and Humberto are on the same table. Pretty sweet.

Short stacked (as per usual) after my nut flush ran into a FH on the river

i had AQ

i know matros can make moves (as evident from the 34o hand) and i didnt want to be pushed off of it on the flop, or have to worry about set/aa/kk, so check was for pot control. on river i decided i was way ahead and that i might get a call from any pair he had.

i think i just tilted

couple of double-ups back in the race
