L.A. Poker Classic Day 3

Filed in archive Tournament News on February 28, 2007

Deftly avoiding any possible pictures of Gavin Smith's tattoo'd behind, the PokerNews team was back on the floor for Day 3 of the L.A. Poker Classic being held at the Commerce Casino. There's some very cool features besides the excellent live reporting, like the "featured hands" section. The interface goes through key hands in the tourney much like watching online poker. Here's Jay Chang's hand with Dan Schmiech ending Dan's tourney with a nasty suckout.

From Dr. Pauly's website here's a quick chipcount update as well as noticeable bustouts:
