THE SPORTSMAN -- After all of those posts from DaveShoelace about Cristiano Blanco getting it in ahead and losing, and then getting it in ahead and winning, I was almost expecting him to turn over the best hand when he reraised Terry Cook all in preflop (10,425 over the initial bet of 1,500). But Cook called quickly:
Cook:
Blanco:
The flop: (and with the pessimism or just perversity almost all poker players seem to possess, everyone was now murmuring about the ten for the straight).
