He's Got the Wright Stuff

Partilhar no Twitter Partilhar no Facebook

Nível 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

What can we tell you about Larry Wright?

Well, we can tell you the WSOP bracelet winner, who won the 2012 WSOP Event #30: 2-7 $1,500 No-Limit Draw Lowball for $101,975, hails from McQueeney, Texas and is a World Champion water skier. He also raises white tail deer, donates a large portion of his poker winnings to a charity in South Sudan, and is on the Board of Directors of the Texas Card Player Association.

It's clear that Wright, who is married with two daughters, is quite the character. As fate would have it, Wright is competing here in the Day 2a field in search of his second gold bracelet. Wright has been holding steady most of the day, but we were able to catch him in a recent hand.

In it, the player in the cutoff limped and Wright opted to raise to 2,500 from the button. The blinds both folded, the cutoff called the additional 1,700, and it was heads-up action to the flop, which they both checked. When the dealer burned and turned the , the cutoff checked and folded to a bet of 5,500 from Wright.

Not much of a hand, but hopefully it'll pacify all of you Larry Wright fans out there.

Bad Day for Brazil

Nível 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

Brazilian Maria Mayrinck and the player in the small blind were tangling over a pot where the flop was .

Mayrinck had earlier suffered the ignominy of her country getting humiliated 7-1 by Germany in the semi-final of the World Cup on home soil. She has also lost her glasses, so following everything that is happening at the table is proving difficult. Despite these setbacks, she has remained cheerful. When it was checked to her, she bet 2,600.

Her opponent called and they both checked the turn card . The river was the and Mayrinck faced a bet of 9,000.

“You don’t have a nine do you?” Mayrinck asked and called. Her opponent turned over and Mayrinck showed her . “What is it?” she asked squinting to the far end of the table. The other players told her it was a flush and the dealer confirmed it by pushing the pot the way of her opponent.

Not the best day for the Brazilian so far, but on the other hand, Mayrinck has more than she started with and is still in the hunt for $10,000,000. Can’t be all bad.
