Oliver

[DyePack]

Oliver just won $14,666 at a poker tournament. The recap includes gems like this:

The next big hand of the day came on hand number 29. World renowned tournament reporter Oliver Tse raised to 9K from the button with 6d 6s. Jason Song moved all in behind him with pocket nines and the action was back onto Oliver. Oliver went into the tank for almost 6 minutes and eventually Jason called a clock on him. Tournament director at Caesars Paul Lord came over and counted down Oliver. After a minute had gone by Paul declared Oliver's hand dead and Jason took down a small pot. Only 3 hands later Oliver and Jason were at it again.

Don't start that talking
I could talk all night
My mind is sleepwalking
While I'm putting the world to right

Call careers information
Have you got yourself an occupation?

Oliver's army is here to stay
Oliver's army are on their way
And I would rather be anywhere else
Than here today

There was a checkpoint Charlie
He didn't crack a smile
But it's no laughing party
When you've been on the murder mile

Only takes one itchy trigger
One more widow, one less white ******

Oliver's army is here to stay
Oliver's army are on their way
And I would rather be anywhere else
Than here today

Hong Kong is up for grabs
London is full of Arabs
We could be in Palestine
Overrun by a Chinese line
With the boys from the Mersey and the Thames and the Tyne

But there's no danger
It's a professional career
Though it could be arranged
With just a word in Mr. Churchill's ear

If you're out of luck or out of work
We could send you to Johannesburg


Oliver's army is here to stay,
Oliver's army are on their way,
And I would rather be anywhere else
Than here today,
And I would rather be anywhere else
Than here today,
And I would rather be anywhere else
Than here today,
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ......
