Earlier this year on an ordinary Monday afternoon, a bespectacled man walked into the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop on Las Vegas Blvd. Tucked under his arm was an uninteresting box that only he knew contained something rather interesting – a pair of gold watches dating back more than 40 years.
These were not your run-of-the-mill wristwear, but rather evidence of a unique and often overlooked time of poker history, a year when the World Series of Poker (WSOP) gold bracelet, now the game’s highest accolade, was replaced in favor of watches.
The man holding the box was David Sklansky, who in 1978 forever changed poker by advocating a mathematical approach to the game in his groundbreaking book The Theory of Poker. Nicknamed “The Mathematician,” he proved his prowess just four years later when he won two WSOP tournaments in five days.
First, he won the 1982 WSOP Event #7: $800 Mixed Doubles Limit Seven Card Stud, a tournament that paired one man with one woman, alongside Dani Kelly, and followed that up by taking down Event #12: $1,000 Limit 5-Card Draw High. A year later, the Binions reverted back to the beloved bracelets players know today, and Sklansky captured his third piece of WSOP hardware by winning Event #11: $1,000 Limit Omaha.
It was a remarkable accomplishment, and for more than four decades he’s kept safe the evidence of his victories, both of which still worked. So, why was Sklansky carrying his 1982 WSOP gold watches, two of only 15 ever awarded, into a pawn shop? Well, he was looking to sell them of course, but not to just any of the dozens of pawn shops spread across Las Vegas. Oh no, he was walking into arguably the most famous pawn shop in the world, the home to the wildly popular television show Pawn Stars, and he was there to do it with cameras rolling.

Idan The One was seen lamenting not folding when he ran his K♣10♥ into his opponent's Q♥Q♦ but the king never saved him and The One will have to hope to have better luck on the next one.
Chad Caldwell had an upward trajectory until his three of a kind aces were outkicked for the maximum.

This juicy pot was retold by the players to PokerNews:
The player under the gun limped, an early position player raised to 11,000, the late position player three-bet to 50,000 and Camille Brown four-bet all in for 150,000. The limper exited and the other two players called.
Early position: 10x10x
Late position: 8x8x
Camille Brown: JxJx
The board ran out safe for Brown's jacks with 10x7x5xKxKx and she scooped the pot. The count is a little shorter as she lost a couple hands after that big scoop.

The player in late position raised to 7,000 and David McFeely three-bet to 18,000 from the cutoff. The late position player moved all in with the superior stack for effective 75,000 and McFeely did the absolute opposite of a slow roll and quickly slammed his chips in and rolled over pocket aces.
David McFeely: A♦A♣
Late position: Q♦Q♥
The board ran out as 8♦K♦J♥4♦9♣ and the aces were good. The other players stated that the hand played itself.

Mike Lu opened to 6,000 from the cutoff. The player on the button called, and the small blind made it 14,000. Jonathan Di Matteo was in the big blind and four-bet all in for around 120,000.
Mike Lu, who had a fairly short stack, called all in for 43,000. The button folded and the player in the small blind needed a long time for a decision, before folding Q♦Q♣ face-up.
Mike Lu: A♥A♦
Jonathan Di Matteo: A♣K♣
The flop came Q♠K♥9♦. Di Matteo flopped a pair of kings but Lu was still in great shape. The player in the small blind still had his queens laying in front of him - he would have been way ahead with a set.
The turn 2♦ and river 9♣ did not help Di Matteo and Lu was able to double up and then-some.
