After I saw what he held, I thought he did a damn nice job of not going broke here.

It went back and forth for a bit after this.

The following hand came up and I made what I thought was a great river bet holding JsKs. Not sure what he held, but I was certain it wasn't an Ace.

This next hand got Vatche back in the match. I flopped trips and he turned a flush. He was so short, the $$ was all goin in.

ya, that AK vs 22 hand early on killed me...nothing really i could do i guess, probably wouldve folded to your 400 chip bet on the river if that stupid Ace didnt hit, oh well...

you played perfect after taking the lead on me, avoiding big pots and just waiting it out...GG.

oh, btw...that hand where you bluffed 225 on the river with KJ, i had 10 4 of diamonds....picked up a huge draw on the turn to go with my 2nd pair, but missed...i knew not betting that flop was going to come back to haunt me, nice bluff.

Bahahahahahaha, you lost to the worst team in the league Vatche

FU...

That was me lol!
