Liam Flood Doubles Up

For much of the day, Irish bookmaker and professional poker player Liam Flood has sported a short stack, fighting for chips every step of the way. A few minutes ago, he got his hands on a bunch, formerly owned by the Spaniard Raul Mestre.

Long story short, Flood held aces against Mestre's queens and the pair raised back and forth preflop until Liam was all in. Mestre could only shake his head at the sight of Flood's hand, as he realized just what bad shape he was in. The board filled out {7-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{J-Clubs} and Flood took down the pot, doubling up to just under 20,000 in chips -- the biggest stack he's had all day.

In case you're still wondering about the Liam Flood dealer buttons . . . well, so are we. We asked Liam about them and he seemed perplexed with the question, offering this response: "I asked the manufacturer to make them and they did." Perhaps we'll check with a few more sources and see what comes up.
