Event 7: Jules Jewels

$300 + 50 NL (Big Stack)

Jules Mencher (Long Island, NY)

At Borgata Spring Poker Open Blog we honor and encourage superstitions. Jules Mencher (Long Island, NY) didn't want to talk to me or let me take his picture until he made the cash.

A deal's a deal. When the bubble was about to burst, Jules was forced all in only to flip pocket rockets.

It's been like that every orbit since. When I snapped this photo he was forced all in then flipped over A-9 and spiked his man on the flop.

Jules is proudly wearing his Borgata Spring Open 2008 bracelet. He has fond memories taking down that tournament which took place the day after Father's Day (a gift from his kids).

Uh-oh, here comes Jules to Media Row...looks like he's out in 38th place for $747.

"The first time I voluntarily put my chips in, I lost" said Jules from the rail.

His 99 vs. 66 vs. A-Q. Nines fell to a set of sixes and to Aces over Queens.

Maybe I should have waited a little longer to take that picture. Just saying...
