    When you hold a pocket pair and hit one on the flop (i.e. 8-8 in hand, 2-8-5 flop), that is a set.

    When you hold one card and hit two on the flop (i.e. A-9 in hand, A-A-6 flop), that is trips.

    A small difference, but a difference nonetheless.

    I really had never heard that before. I just understood trips to be another word for a set.

    Thanks for pointing that out to me.

    Anyone have John Juwanda?

    John Juanda Eliminated
    Darryl Ronconi raises, John Juanda reraises with a short stack, and Ronconi puts him all in for about 2,000 more. Juanda shows 9-9, but Ronconi has A-A. The board bricks out for Juanda, and he is eliminated from the Main Event. Juanda had a good World Series this year, with five cashes, a final table, and $136,593 in winnings.

    Nicely done.

    CI is right. It is a great feeling to play as well as you can and have it rewarded.

    Thanks. Can't wait to play again too. Monday and Tuesday. The APL I play in is nationwide. I think they're in 17 states now so you should check it out if they're in your area.

    STANDINGS THROUGH MAIN EVENT
    1. CentralIllinoisan -- 516
    2. The Good Doctor -- 458
    3. Tommy_Dreamer -- 384
    4. Big Dog -- 322
    5. Cape_Fear -- 248
    6. Ty Webb -- 238
    7. Inky_Wretch -- 222
    8. pallister -- 214
    9. Jim Tom Pinch -- 32
    10. GB-Hack -- 32

    No one scored a point in the main event, so basically this thing was a wash-out the first year :( I'll re-calculate this next year (maybe just a "last longer" aspect to it, instead of top 27. We'll see.)

    Anyway, I am the champion of the first WSOP fantasy pool, with The Good Doctor, Tommy_Dreamer and Big Dog getting some free stuff from me. If you guys want the stuff, you can PM me your addresses. If not, then, well, you don't. No big deal. I just have a deck of those Pro-Peek cards, a deck of plastic cards and some other stuff I'll wrangle up. Let me know.
