No Bracelet for Alex Luneau
After some furious betting action pre-draw, Alex Luneau, Terry Jennings, and Joshua Mountain found themselves involved in a capped pot.
After the pre-draw betting, Mountain took two, Jennings took one, and Luneau took one as well. Mountain checked to Jennings. Jennings bet. Luneau raised. Mountain folded, and Jennings called.
On the second draw, both players stood pat, then checked. They stood pat again on the third draw, and Jennings led with a bet. Luneau thought a while, then called. Jennings showed , and that was good to take the pot.
"Nice hand from the self-proclaimed best ace-to-five player in the world," Abe Mosseri said after the hand.
"Now, I don't know if I'd say I was the best, but I'm certainly up there," Jennings said. "I have five gold bracelets."
"Wow," Mosseri said. "You have five World Series of Poker bracelets?"
"No no," Jennings continued. "Not World Series. Here let me just show you."
Jennings then produced a bag full of gold- and silver- plated bracelets from his pocket and explained that if he is beaten in a certain game, then he gives the bracelets out to the victors — after he engraves them, of course.
"Shaun Deeb has one," Jennings said. "I remember that."
Unfortunately for Luneau, he lost the hand and didn't earn a Terry Jennings bracelet. Not only that, Luneau is still looking for his first World Series of Poker gold bracelet, as well, so he'll have to keep trying if he wants to win either.
