...major hands. Obviously there was the hand with Tiffany Michelle. [With 18 players remaining, Eastgate won a pot of nearly 10 million chips holding a pair of aces against Michelle's ace and jack.] There was the hand with Dennis Phillips at the final table on the K-2-2 flop. [With six players remaining, Phillips bet 7 million and Eastgate, holding pocket aces, moved all-in for 22 million. Phillips folded, giving Eastgate the chip lead.] You have also some of the folds that you don't see on the ESPN tapes, and situations where I made the right...
...spite of the excitement over the Inaugural ball, Hawaii has a bit of a chip on its shoulder. Obama, after all, is a Senator from Illinois, and the incoming President comes off as more a Land of Lincolner than a son of the Aloha State. It's been that way throughout his political career.

He’s still damaged goods, as much as he pretends not to be, which makes his vengeance all the more furious and fun to watch. Shrugging across the screen with a chip on his shoulder, Daniel Craig plays Bond with the right amount of reserve and just enough pathos to make him seem human. He must be part machine, though, considering the ease with which he waltzes through the film’s relentless action sequences. (There’s nothing...
...tables. Regina H. Higgins, a card swiper in Winthrop House, said nobody had told her the date of the switch but that she thinks essentially everything “will be the same.” The new ID cards have two stripes, an antenna, and an embedded chip inside. “They have all the best card technology in them,” Martin said. Students will ruin the chip if they punch a hole in their card to attach it to a key chain. Bonnie Kimball, a swiper in Leverett House, said that she has been telling...
