Daniel Lowery continued his personal quest to be the first to 20 rings after winning his 18th ring earlier this week at WSOP Oklahoma at Hard Rock Tulsa. It was Lowery’s second win in a week, sweeping both of the seniors events to move into a tie for second on the all-time WSOP Circuit ring list. They weren’t small Seniors events either. Lowery topped a field of 448 to win the first $250 event for $17,187 before winning the second $250 event for $15,831, besting the 399-entry field.

Your whole stack is in the middle for a flip. How many times? (I prefer three to reduce variance and to virtually eliminate chops)
Rounders isn't that great. Let's be real here.
