It’s Back to the Drawing Board for the Loose Cannon on The Big Game on Tour

Things were looking pretty good for the Loose Cannon all the way up until the very last hand of the session, but leave it to Shaun Deeb to create some chaos.

Chance Kornuth is looking for a deep run.

After bagging a big stack yesterday, he returns today to continue his journey in the $10k GGMillion$ High Roller, but the bracelet is still quite a bit away.

Take limping at your tables personally?

According to Alex Fitzgerald, when there is a whole lot of limping happening at the table, you must do something about it and change things around. Could be a good reminder for low stakes tournament action, where these things still happen.

What does the lucky $1M bounty winner has to say?

This man turned his $550 tournament entry into a $1,000,000 mystery bounty, and he says he’s done for the summer. I mean, who can blame him?

There is some mixed game action around the corner in Manchester, too.

Although it looks like everyone who loves poker is in Las Vegas right now, the fact of the matter is that many players couldn’t make it to the WSOP for one reason or another.

In a move that surprised just about everyone, Allen Kessler declined a free shot at $10,000, courtesy of ClubWPT Gold, by refusing to play Matt Savage heads-up in Las Vegas.

Kessler’s thriftiness is well known, though this time it seems he just preferred the grind at the World Series of Poker to a flashy freeroll.
