Wice on Fire

stoffmakers

Considering that the table where Alexander Wice is sitting at is the closest to where we type out all this magic, we can��t help but notice when a big pot occurs there if we are on our way to check on some other tables. This was certainly the case where the board read {6-} {5-} {2-} {8-} {3-} and Wice faced a big river bet by Jeffrey Gibralter. Wice made the call and Gibralter sheepishly turned over {A-} {2-} {J-} {J-} for just a pair of jacks and a six-low. Wice had him crushed as he revealed {A-} {4-} {10-} {8-} for the wheel, which had "earthy tones, a smooth draw, enough kick to win (him) the Hi and the Lo�� (that��s a Rounders quote for anyone who doesn��t realize).

The very next hand, Lauchlin McKinnon got it all in preflop against Wice who had him dominated.

Wice: {A-Hearts} {A-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {7-Clubs}
McKinnon: {A-} {10-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {9-Clubs}

The board ran out {8-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {3-Spades} {8-Clubs} {5-Spades} to give Wice aces up and a low for the knockout as he continued to move up the leaderboard.
