No Half Measures

Passing through the tournament floor here at the Borgata Winter Poker Open, the sight of Cotton Snuffer pushing opponents around and accumulating chips has become an everyday experience. The man, simply put, is a beast.
Snuffer is the leading money winner early on here in Atlantic City, after taking down Event 5 ($100,000 Guaranteed Big Stack NLHE Re-Entry for $63,882, along with a $4,000 score in a Black Chip Bounty side event, and a deep run in Event 1 to take down a few more thousand.
The West Virginian is a man of many talents, using his skills on the felt to separate suckers from their scratch in both poker and pool since he was knee high to a grasshopper. Snuffer bears an uncanny resemblance to Walter White of Breaking Bad fame, and just like the man who transformed into the heinous Heisenberg when he needed to get things done, Snuffer changes into a different animal altogether when he's contesting a pot.
We watched Snuffer push an opponent of his hand recently, with the board reading 
by the river. After playing the pot slowly on the fourth street, simply calling a bet rather than raising, Snuffer jammed the river to put his opponent to a tough decision.
"You got queens there?," the man asked, as Snuffer stared him down. "Ahh... nice hand."
The man obviously laid down a big hand in the face of Snuffer's power play, and Snuffer dragged yet another pot his way, showing that in this game, full measures are the only way to win.
