welcome back to the pokerstars.net big game. we've reached hand 111 out of 150. >> i just had ace-king. >> no, you didn't. >> yes, i did have ace-king. i had ace-king. bet $1,000, then. >> you can't, remember? you're not allowed to. >> what are you talking about? >> viffer straddles. action on barry. folds. >> you don't think i had ace-king, huh? >> not at all. >> all right. that's why you're the pro. >> apparently. >> no, he's the rookie. >> can't be both? >> oh, there's a straddle. >> okay. so it's 16. >> ike raises to 1600. >> you know, even derek jeter was a rookie once. >> what'd he ever do? rahim calls. troy, suited one-gapper, also

calls. >> i wish you would have made a normal raise. i wouldn't call with this hand. >> viffer does call. >> part of my plan. guys were coming in and he really didn't want three players in there. >> 8-trey-10. >> three people hit that. troy hit top two pair. out of four players rick's pair is third best. >> he's first to act. rahim bets 5,000. >> what's troy going to do with top two? >> raises to 20 grand. viffer folds. >> how much more do you have? >> this is a good defensive raise from troy. it might be a bit big for getting any action. but there are a lot of bad cards that can come. >> you got it. >> haxton folds. >> i'm convinced that i probably have the best hand and that this is you needing to start to make moves, but i'm going to fold. on the off chance i'm wrong.

i think this is loose cannon action here. >> howard picks up a nice size pot. >> the heat is on. ♪ the heat is on >> 7-deuce, man. you've got a read on me every time. >> that wasn't a loose cannon move. in the last 37 hands troy's vpip is still about the same but the stats show he's playing differently after the flop. howard's c bet shows he's playing less after being the preflop aggressor and his aggro factor's way down as well. we keep telling him to be aggressive and he's less aggressive. he makes money in spite of this. how much more could he have made had he been more aggressive? we'll never know. >> speaking of aggressive, barry greenstein straddles this hand. action folds around to rick rahim on the button. folds. troy, pocket pair in the small blind. >> this would be an opportune time to get aggressive. >> you haven't let me get away with this all day, barry.

>> troy raises to 5700. >> that's what the speech is for. let me get away with it. and worked out. >> the loose cannon has awoken, boys. >> the loose cannon takes down back-to-back pots to pull even closer to positive. barry greenstein won some huge pots to put him up over 200 grand. and viffer, who was up almost 150k at one point, has slipped below six figures in profits. >> the loose cannon hasn't been positive since hand number 8, when he was up 1,700, but at this point he's not down very much. >> and that'll wrap it up for tonight. looks like a fire's been lit under our loose cannon, but is it too late? he's got one more night to get above 100k and win some money. will he get there? we'll find out tomorrow. i'm amanda leatherman saying good night for now, and remember, if you've got the cash and the guts there's always a seat open at the big game. see you next time. >> if you want to appear on "the big game" and be a loose cannon, simply log on to pokerstars.net. there are free qualifying tournaments every day. for joe stapleton, i'm chris rose. we'll see you tomorrow night.

>> are you going to make it? >> yes. he's going to double me up. i've got him all set up. >> i thought you were all -- you were wanting him to -- >> he don't want to double me up. he does. he wants to play against me, and that's going to double me up. >> you play with fire you're going to get burned. >> right. >> i'm always talking to the >> i'm always talking to the loose cannon. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com
