Folding Quads

Luckily for John Juanda he won the latest Triton Poker Short Deck event for the equivalent of $601,358 so this hand won't come back to haunt him.

However, showing how different this game perhaps is from traditional No Limit Hold'em (or maybe not as it is still a scary board for Quads), he did make a remarkable fold of Quad Sixes on his way to the title.

As the commentary team stated, Quad Sixes were literally just a bluffcatcher, so was this a good fold or terrible?

Which side do you like?

It's almost WSOP time, which means the prop bets are coming thick and fast. This one between Doyle Brunson and Kane Kalas is very interesting.

Kalas really does not fancy Phil Hellmuth's chances in the Main Event and has agreed to pay Doyle Brunson $50,000 if the Poker Brat finishes in the top 1% of it, which would be roughly the final 700-800 if recent numbers are anything to go by.

Meanwhile Doyle has to pay Kalas $5,000 for everyone of a big list of players who make it into that final 1% of the field.

The Iron Throne and the SCOOP High

This will mean nothing to you if you don't watch Game of Thrones and it is barely a spoiler if you are not caught up, but it was a good week for The Mother of Dragons, both in Westeros and now the SCOOP High Leaderboard.....

Torching the competition!

The time Ivey got robbed

Barry Greenstein is an absolute fan favourite on the Joe Ingram podcast and this week he was on again with all manner of interesting stories, including this one about how he and Phil Ivey were once robbed at gunpoint:
