The crazy Chinaman tried to give away his chips!

But the poker gods wouldn't let him..... In what had to be one of the largest 5-way pots that I've seen over at the Juice's in a while...... the Chinaman takes it down!

At any rate, the game is Omaha 8 - 2/4 No Limit.... the Juice raises under the gun to 12 and there are about 5 callers and when it gets back to the crazy Chinaman.... he raises it 125 on top. The Juice does what he always does, he calls.... I've got Kd, 10d, Ac, 2h and decide that I'll play as well. There are five players going to the flop. The flop was Kx, 10x, 7x and Mikey goes all-in for about 235 or so.... Dave calls, I call and there are two other callers. I really wanted to push all-in, but I only had about 85 or so and knew that it wouldn't flush at least two of the guys out, in retrospect, I should have done it anyway..... the turn was a 9x and it checked all the way around. The river was Mike's magic card.... apparently he thought on the flop that with the Ax, Qx that an all-in raise on the gut-shot was the right play, but it worked out.... The river was a Jx and he took down a monster when he tried to make a move and got really, really, really lucky! In his defense, I don't recall what his other two cards were... but I don't think they were significant.... I am pretty certain that he was behind at least two other players all the way to the river.....

I managed to win back most of the $$ that I lost in that hand before I left, but the Juice doubled Mikey up again and busted out and wimped, limped off to his office to lick his wounds. Nice!

Oh and then he wants to know if we're playing Thursday..... LOL.
