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.
