There were quite a few interesting hands at WSOP 2006. It was full of action and entertainment to the max. The spectators have thoroughly enjoyed the show. Take a look at some of the interesting hands that were played at the WSOP 2006.
Mike started with: 
and then he called. Incidentally, William Dick also made the call  
Daniel Negreanu and Adam Joens were involved in this hand. He held the "speed limit" hand:
 .
made a fairly standard and regular raise to $1,600. Daniel called off the holding, which can be said as a pretty good hand:
Interesting Hands
First level – I’m dealing with 9c7c in late position and limped after 3 others. To add to this, 3 others have limped after my decision-making for 7 players. The flop turned out with 9 high with 2 clubs. I bet 1/2 pot. Seat 4 calls. (He was really on the move and has been calling on a lot of flops, literally taking down many pots when it was checked). The turn brought an ace - giving the board 2 spades and 2 clubs. I checked and he bet 300. I called. The turn brought the 10s. I checked and Seat 4 bet 600. I thought for a moment and eventually decided that he has nothing, and was just trying to take away the pot from a perceived scared weak-tight player and called. He said I was good before I turned over my cards.
Interesting Hand 2 (Tiffany Williamson)
It was interesting to have Tiffany Williamson at my table after all the hoopla surrounding her last year. Everyone wondered how she ever made it so deep last year. She was very quiet. The cameras came over for about 10 minutes and she didn't enter a pot or say a word. One thing I noticed was that every bet that she made was an overbet. (Example - Blinds 25/50. TW in the BB. Someone raised preflop to 150. Folds to her, she raises to 950.)
She had actually gotten a few chips this way and was probably around 11k near the end of the 1st level. The first break came and I made a mad dask for the port-a-pottys. After the break I noticed TW was no longer at the table and Seat 7 had a huge stack. The hand was described to me as follows by one of the players at the table:
Interesting Hand 3
(Hand that Loopy posted - but some details weren't right from how I explained it over the phone to him.)
Limped in late position with 77. Flop came 2d2h8d. Seat 7 (Super Aggro) bets 300. Folds to me. I decided that there was no way Seat 7 hit that flop. He had limped from early position. Before this hand he always raised from early position if he had a hand. I call - everyone else folds. Turn is 10. Seat 7 bets 1,500. I call. River is a 6. Seat 7 bets 2,000. Based on the way the guy was playing, I figured that he had missed his flush draw and wanted the pot. I also felt like he thought he could take the pot away from me because my perceived weak-tight image. I call and ask him hand. He says Ace high. I turn over 77 and he mucks. It was a big pot for so early. I no longer had a weak-tight image in the eyes of the solid players that were at the table and was able to use that to my advantage.
Interesting Hand 4
I was dealt QQ in the big blind. Seat 7 raised. Seat 9 (tight) called. I decided to just call with QQ and decide to find out where my hand is after the flop. The flop comes AK5. I check. Seat 7 makes a big bet, Seat 9 calls. I fold and probably save a ton of chips my not making a raise preflop.
My first table broke shortly before the dinner break.
Part 2 to follow later. (I'm not sure if anyone cares about this kind of detail in a trip report. My main reason for posting this is so that I can look back on it later and to show my thinking during the WSOP. |
