Anthony Martino
Royal Flush
Played the 20k guaranteed $160 buyin tourney at Derby Lane this past weekend. Start with 40K chips, 100/100 blinds (with a big blind ante structure kicking in after a few levels) and 30 minute rounds.
I wound up rebuying after my KQ on a QT22 board got looked up by AT (I bet 2500 on the flop and shoved 7500 into a 10K pot on the turn) and he spiked a Ten.
So rebuy, at a new table. Asian guy on my right has a VP$iP of 1,000%. I shit you not this guy didn't have a working fold button.
He almost busted me early, an EP player raises, he calls, I fold
and there's a few more callers, flop is 
. Well, this guy had called the preflop raise with 
and flopped the joint. I most certainly would've stacked off to him. instead, a guy who was in LP and had called the raise with 
spiked an 
turn to make two pair and stacked off instead.
Then this guy was in there with
, 
(made two pair both times), 
(flopped two pair, rivered the boat), called a raise with 
and was up against 
on a flop of 
and chased to the river to spike a miracle
All this guy did was call, call, call. The ONE time in hours he chose to raise this old lady spazzed off her stack with pocket 9's on a Ten-high flop, clearly not paying attention. This guy had
and sent her home.
Then he's facing two preflop all-ins and exclaims "this is my favorite hand!" and calls with
(but not with the odds to do so) and he's up against 
and 
and you know he spikes a on the river to bust them both.
There was another hand that he actually folded because there were THREE preflop all-ins. He folded Q5, he would've been up against AK, AK and AQ. The AQ flopped a Queen and the river was a 5 so he would've busted all three of them if he stuck around.
When the average stack was 75K this guy was on my right with half a million. I eventually made my stand UTG with
and a 10BB stack and he was in the BB and said "I'll be the donkey who doubles you up" and he called with and the flop was 
and that was it for me.
I imagine he wound up bubbling though, I mean, your luck has to run out at some point, right?

and then after Ben c-bet the Q-high flop the maniac just shoved on him. Ben got it all-in and then the maniac was like "oh good, I have outs!" and promptly spiked a deuce on the turn to send Ben to the rail. Some guys get all the luck I tell ya!
