There were five players that saw a 
flop for 900 apiece and action was checked to Vic Peppe who fired out from late position.
The hijack player called and action folded around to the big blind player who tossed out chips for the call but the dealer accidentally mucked their hand.
After the floor was called, the big blind got their chips back but had to forfeit their hand and action was on the player in middle position who folded.
With action heads-up, the dealer paired the board with the 
on the turn and Peppe tossed out an uncontested 5,000 bet.

There was three-way action with a 
board showing and Bruce Swart checked his option from the small blind to Dapo Ajayi who fired out 1,600 into a 2,900 pot from the big blind.
Action was on Stan Webb who raised to 4,000, Swart folded while Ajayi called and the 
completed the board on the river.
Ajayi checked his option only to have Webb toss out a grey 5,000 chip. Ajayi went deep into the dank and found the muscle to call but quickly folded after Webb showed 
for a flopped two-pair.

Back in the day, Robbie Thompson was a staple at the annual World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. Not only that, he was a fixture on the poker circuit.
So how did the man, who hails from nearby Egan, South Dakota (Pop. 720) and still lives in the same house he did when he was just three years old, get to such a spot in the poker world?
In 1993, Thompson, who used to work manual labor, took a job as a blackjack dealer.
“After a couple years in the pit, I made my move to poker,” Thompson previously said in an interview with CardsChat. “I was leaving my shift one day and my manager asked if I would deal poker that night. She knew that I played, so without any training I sat in the box to a 7-Card Stud hi-lo game and the rest is history.”
Eventually, around 2002, Thompson became a traveling dealer and worked his first WSOP in 2004. Two more years of experience saw him dealing the WSOP final table, and from there it was off to gigs on the European Poker Tour and World Poker Tour. In 2008, he had his chance to become the final table announcer of the WSOP.
In 2017, things came full circle when Thompson got off the road and Renee Thomas, the poker room manager at Grand Falls, offered him a job. As it happened, she was the aforementioned manager who gave him his start 25 years earlier.
Thompson has been using his big-time experience here at the Grand Falls poker room ever since.
