Ivey is a poker God. Matusow is a lot better than people give him credit for.

But if Greay Freaking Raymer makes the final table of the Main Eent two years in a row (with 2500+ and 5500+ players).... that will be the most amazing feat poker has ever seen, IMO.

What's the word on Tiffany Williamson, how is her level of play? I have already seen a few stories talking about how a woman has never won. Does she have a chance or is she just too far behind in chips? Hope you are having fun maybe I will see you there next year!

To be perfectly honest with you, I'm not certain which person she is. If she's the one I think she is, she looks solid, but I haven't watched her closely...

She's a a black, middle-aged lawyer. Her run has been quite impressive, so far. She won her seat in the main event via a $10 tournament. DAMN ... talk about ROI.

I don't know much about her, but she made one of the worse calls I've ever heard about yesterday.

Date / Time: 2005-07-13 18:41:00
Title: Greg Raymer Doubles Up Through Tiffany Williamson
Log: The preflop details are unclear, but there were some bets and possibly a raise, when Greg Raymer went all in. It was folded around to Tiffany Williamson, who went into deep thought for many minutes to contemplate the call. Word slowly spread around the room that Greg Raymer was all in at the TV table, and the crowd at the ESPN stage quickly grew to overflow capacity. The buzz in the air was spine-tingling.


Tiffany Williamson was playing with her chips, and several times she would move a stack around, and those of us in the press thought she had called. As a relative rookie, she may not be familiar with the rules about chip movement, because there appeared to be forward motion. But nobody called it on her.


The media was talking about the hand, wondering what she was on, and everyone predicted a fold. She was faced with a similar big call earlier today, and after thinking for about ten minutes, she folded that hand.


This time, she calls.


Greg Raymer casually flips over pocket kings (Kc-Kd), and Tiffany Williamson shows Ac-Jd. The crowd is stunned, expecting her to have a stronger hand than that. But she does have an ace, and Raymer hasn't won the hand yet. Tension at the ESPN stage is at its highest level of the tournament so far. Two of the biggest crowd favorites are clashing head-to-head in a huge pot.


The flop is slowly revealed (almost card by card) to be 6s-6d-2d, and the crowd lets out a tentative sigh, unclear who they are rooting for here. The turn card is the 4c, and Williamson has to catch an ace on the last card to eliminate the defending World Series champion.


The river card is the 9c.


Greg Raymer has doubled up through Tiffany Williamson, and the cheers from the crowd imply they'd rather see a repeat champion than another "tournament rookie coming out of nowhere" story. Regardless, Tiffany Williamson still has enough chips to be comfortable.


Chip counts will be coming from the ESPN Featured Table shortly after the top of the hour.

That is a ridiculous call. Without knowing stack sizes, what was in the pot, and how much more it was to her to call, it's hard to say how bad of a cal it was (in theory, she could have made a huge raise and his all in reraise wasn't THAT much more), but on the surface, I agree.... this sounds like a pretty bad call. She was actually in better shape than she could have been, but I'm glad Raymer doubled up.

I'm heading back down there in another hour or so.... I'll keep an eye out for her today.
