In a hand retold to us by Scott Robbins, he recently took out his opponent when his 6-5 suited improved to top the pocket tens of the other player who was all in on a short stack.

The opponent said on his way out, “Nice preflop call.” Robbins responded, “Thank you, I hope you can still rebuy.” Robbins stacked up 156,500 after collecting the pot, and is currently pacing the field at the top of the counts.

Kathy Liebert

The $400 Seniors 50+ is having a great turnout and there’s still time to add it up with registration open until 3:30 pm. We are racking up one of the biggest fields for this event and we’ll see where the end up.

Some friendly faces including legend Kathy Liebert, Judy Bielan, Scott Robbins, Paula Alibrandi, Paul Balzano, Mike Beasley, Nancy Birnbaum, and Nancy Thomas.

Bielan was able to catch a flight from the frigid Northeast and down in time to catch the LHPO action as it builds toward the Championship. She’s coming off a huge score, banking $236K in the $10,000 Wynn Seniors Event. Bielan will be going over some of her hands from that event with Hollywood favorite Faraz Jaka tomorrow.
