Hands #113-114

Hand #113: Dario Alioto raised to 85,000 and everyone folded. Alioto won the pot.

Hand #114: Tony G got another walk in the big blind. "The wheels are coming off," he said. "Time to stop the bleeding." Just another Buddha-esque quote that happens to be flowing from The G tonight.

To Show or Not to Show

One of Tony G's hands
One of Tony G's hands
There is always a debate in poker over whether or not to show your opponents your hand without a showdown, but Tony G is taking the route of showing hands left and right. Whether it be a bluff, or the nuts, he is showing the table some of his hands, and the crowd the rest. Being on the rail I can tell you (without revealing the content) that it is a mixture of both bluffs and nuts that we see, as well as the table. It has the table completely rattled.

Hands 111-112

Hand 111:

Tony completes, Novak calls.

Flop: {J-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{3-Spades}

Tony bets, Novak folds, Tony shows a set of aces.

"Everytime, its so easy to flop a set, you try," he says to Novak.

Hand 112:

Dario gets a walk in the small blind.

Hands #109-110

Hand #109: Action folded around to the blinds. Dario Alioto called from the small blind. David Callaghan checked his big bind.The flop was {9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and Alioto fired out a pot-sized bet. Callaghan folded. Alioto won the pot.

Hand #110: Tony G got a walk in the big blind.

Hands 107-108

"Big heart and conviction," Tony announces to the table.

Hand 107:

Tony completes, Novak calls.

Flop: {9-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

Novak bets 20K, Tony calls.

Turn: {4-Hearts}

Novak bets 30K, Tony calls.

River: {7-Spades}

Tony shows a jack-high flush and takes the pot.

Hand 108:

Tony raises to 100K, Dario calls.

Flop: {8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}

Dario checks, Tony checks.

Turn: {3-Clubs}

Dario bets 140K, Tony comes over the top for 485K...

And takes down the pot, Tony shows pocket kings. The G has taken over the chip lead with 1.3 million.

Tony G Dominating

Tony G is now in full control of this table. Dario is the only one not afraid to play back at him, but he is selective with his shots and Tony jabs away at every opportunity. The later it gets, and the more weary his opponents become, the greater Tony's edge grows. His experience is really starting to show. He is frequently showing his hands to the crowd after his opponents fold, and this is having a visible impact on David Callaghan.

He now has 1.3 mil.

Hands #105-106

Hand #105: Dario Alioto raised to 80,000 from the small blind. David Callaghan folded his big blind. Alioto won the pot.

Hand #106: Action was folded to the blinds. David Callaghan called from the small blind. Tony G raised to 60,000. Callaghan called. The flop {10-Spades}{6-Clubs}{3-Spades}. Callaghan checked. Tony G bet 100,000. Callaghan called. The turn was the {4-Spades}. Callaghan checked. Tony G fired out 160,000. Callaghan went into the tank for a couple of minutes before he folded. The G took down the pot.
