Who Said Poker Players Are Hard to Please?
Nível 2
: 150/300, 0 ante
Former winner of the Aussie Millions A$25,000 Challenge Ben Lamb was one of the first players sat in the A$25,000 Pot Limit Omaha Challenge this afternoon.
Lamb is clearly enjoying himself, having chipped up above starting stack, but also raised the point that the cards in play are "big-faced."
Who cares about the reentry debate when there is big faced cards in plo tournaments.
