Are We Still Going to Get Paid?

The Man With The Power
The Man With The Power
To the slightly surreal strains of a poker player butchering Chopsticks on the piano out in the lobby, Pokernews CFO Tony Bromham, the Man Who Pays The Bills, has suffered a bit of a disaster.

Complaining just before the break that he'd been seeing a lot of deuces and threes and not much else, he must have been delighted to finally find a hand. With Nicholas Van Der Marel and Carlo Graziano both limping in ahead of him, he raised the pot and then called Van Der Marel's all-in push for a total of 4,300 (Graziano wisely got out of their way).

Bromham: {K-Hearts} {K-Spades} {10-Spades} {Q-Clubs}
Van Der Marel: {9-Clubs} {9-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {A-Spades}

Board: {8-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {7-Spades} {10-Hearts}

Van Der Marel's set of nines blew Bromham's kings out of the proverbial water, and he was down to just 2,300.

Bromham raised pot from the cutoff the next hand and got called in two spots; he moved all in for his last 500 on the {9-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {4-Clubs} turn and got one caller in the shape of, again, Nicholas Van Der Marel.

Bromham: {K-Spades} {K-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {6-Clubs}
Van Der Marel: {8-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {7-Spades}

Turn: {6-Diamonds}

River: {A-Diamonds}

Bromham lives to fight another day, and the Pokernews paychecks remain safe... For now.
