Dear Diary

Andy had the corporation beat

My first game of the night was on table 1, $300-$600 Stud, the game was 4 handed and the conversation veered to the ‘big game’.  This is the way it was stated from the players – I never asked any questions or said a word, just listened to the conversation.

Apparently Andy had the corporation beat.  He chooses the player that he will play against.  He had won back over $5,000,000, playing 1 player at a time…the limit mostly $10,000-$20,000 or $20,000-$40,000.  When he beat Chau, all of the faces of the corporation fell.  They were tapped out.

The corporation was sitting around playing Chinese Poker, Ted F. had a note pad and pencil to keep track of who owed who what because there were no chips on the table.

Doyle B. finally picked up 3 racks of chips – $5,000 chips and others – and walked over to the table Andy was seated at, stating, “If no one else will play you, I will.”

Doyle and Andy played for about 20 minutes then Andy stated he was tired and was giving up for the day.  The game ended.

The next day Andy came back to rematch with anyone that would play him…the players were all scraping and borrowing to get enough money together to put 1 player in the game with Andy.  The turn around started.  Ted F. busted him on Monday…the corporation all got their money back – it wasn’t stated how many times Andy played each player and who won/lost after the turn around began…possibly more on that in the future.  The win was somewhere around $6,000,000.

The consensus was, at the game I was dealing, that it was too bad Any lost because there would be some great $200-$400 games if all the high limit players went bust…they would be forced to play lower.  Also the statement was made that Andy could really break all of them….and of course, he’ll be back.

I dealt the $10,000-$20,000 game as the 2nd game of my shift on the 14th.  Andy was cordial and remembered me from his trip before…mainly because my name tag reads ‘Missoula MT’ and he’s been there.  Sadly, none of the dealers on my shift have received any kind of tip for dealing that game to date.
