There's a commotion over on Table 4 that is starting to draw a bit of a crowd. The foxwoodspoker.com blog staff arrives and there's around 10,000 in the middle and a board reading 9♣5♠4♦3♣J♥. Mike Dentale has apparently checked in middle position, and the player on the button has bet 6,000.
"How much time do I got Huey?" Dentale asks the floor as the floor approaches the table. (Note: the floor's name is not Huey).
Since the floor has just arrived to the table he is not quite sure what is going on yet. The dealer says to the floor, "Player has requested a clock," and the floor begins to give the "60 seconds to act speech."
About ten seconds in Dentale says, "I am going to take a long time on this one Huey, because I just have a small pair, and can really only beat a bluff here."
"You can't talk about your hand, Sir," the floor says to Dentale.
Dentale pauses for a few seconds, looks over at his opponent, and says, "I call."
Dentale's opponent turns over J♣7♥, having hit a pair of jacks on the river, and says, "I got lucky."
"You got lucky? Oh, ya think!?!" Dentale responds. Dentale turns over 7♠4♥, and continues, "You just F&*#&* hit a three outer..." his voice trails off.
The rest of the conversation involved Dentale talking seamlessly to himself about whether it's worth it to even play poker when you just keep getting poked in the a*$ over and over again.
The player says, "I'm sorry."
"No man, you didn't do anything wrong," Dentale responds genuinely to the player, "I just keep getting run over."

Some may consider Sundiata DeVore a more "up and coming" player, as he has really started making a name for himself in poker in the last three years. But one would be silly to think that the length of his poker resume is in any way related to his talent. DeVore's poker resume is peppered with deep runs, predominantly in casinos on the East Coast, and also in Las Vegas events.
DeVore's break-out success came back in November of 2014 when he took down the $250 NLH Turning Stone Super Stacks Hold'em event in Verona, New York for $18,002. Since that event, DeVore has made many deep runs at Parx, Borgata, Atlantic City, Philadelphia, and most recently here at Foxwoods.
This series alone, DeVore has already cashed in two events, taking 125th in the $400 Multi Flight Event #11 for $800, and taking 5th in the Re-Entry Event #1 for $23,080. Just a few days ago, DeVore also won the $300 NLH Six Max Event #14, taking home the trophy and $10,172.
Will DeVore continue to make another deep run in the $2,200 Main Event? Make sure to follow along here at Foxwoodspoker.com to find out.

A player in early position limps in, another player in middle position calls, the hijack raises to 800, Chris Orme re-raises to 1,550 in the cutoff, and the player on the button cold-calls. It folds back around to Orme, and they are heads up to the flop.
The flop comes K♣10♥7♦. Orme bets 1,700, and the button raises to 4,200. Orme calls the raise.
The turn is the J♦ and Orme shoves all in, having his opponent covered.
The button goes into the tank, and after nearly three minutes, he opts to call.
Orme: J♣J♠ (set of jacks)
Button: 10♣7♣ (two pair)
The river is the 7♠, giving both players a full house, but awarding Orme the pot with his bigger full house.
As the button stands and exits the table, Orme looks at Tarun Gulati in the small blind (who had folded preflop) and asks him, "What did you fold?"
Gulati responds, "A♦Q♦, pretty tilting."
Orme raises his eyebrows in surprise and says, "Wow," as the pot is passed over to him.
Chris Orme - 68,000
The flop comes K♣10♥7♦. Orme bets 1,700, and the button raises to 4,200. Orme calls the raise.
The turn is the J♦ and Orme shoves all in, having his opponent covered.
The button goes into the tank, and after nearly three minutes, he opts to call.
Orme: J♣J♠ (set of jacks)
Button: 10♣7♣ (two pair)
The river is the 7♠, giving both players a full house, but awarding Orme the pot with his bigger full house.
