Aces No Good for "Quasar"

Chad Holloway
Chad Holloway
Level 10 : 160/320, 40 ante

"Quasar" opened for 700 from early positon and "cortewma0608" called from the cutoff. The rest of the players folded and it was heads up to the {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{q-Spades} flop, which both players checked.

When the {10-Clubs} appeared on the turn, "Quasar" bet 820 and "cortewma0608" called to see the {2-Hearts} river.

"Quasar" upped the bet to 2,880 and "cortewma0608" wasted little time in making the call.

"cortewma0608": {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
"Quasar": {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}

"Quasar" had pocket rockets but they were no good as "cortewma0608" had turned two pair to win the pot.

Brendan "GrnGobln78" Escobar opened for 900 from the cutoff and "tooletime13" defended their big blind to see a {3-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop.

"tooletime13" check-raised Escobar's 900 continuation bet to 2,900 and was called.

The {5-Hearts} turn saw some fireworks after "toothtime13" lead out for 5,200 and Escobar raised all in for 19,777.

"toothtime13" tanked but ultimately tossed their hand into the muck giving Escobar the pot.

Mac "mverstandig" VerStandig Looks to Lay Down the Law

Mac VerStandig
Mac VerStandig

Maurice "Mac" VerStandig isn't a poker pro. While he plays recreationally, including in today's event under the screenname "mverstandig," he's actually the managing partner of the VerStandig Law Firm, LLC, which focuses on representing poker players, advantage gamblers, and other industry professionals in all manner of legal situations.

If you recognize VerStandig's name, it's probably because he's been involved in some of the biggest legal poker cases in recent years, including as the Plaintiff's counsel in the recently-dismissed Mike Postle civil case.

Occasionally, VerStandig will also voluntarily contribute legal articles on PokerNews, including popular ones on topics like "A Poker Player's Guide to Divorce," "One Tequila, Two Tequila, Three Tequila, All-In," and "How Gaming Wins and Losses Can Impact Your Tax Obligations," just to name a few.

In the live tournament poker realm, VerStandig has amassed a modest $11,186 in cashes, including four WSOP-related ones totaling $8,466. He was kind enough to send us a photo of him grinding away in today's tournament.
