"Jimmie23" is an extremely talented poker player who seems to thrive in the short-handed or heads-up cash game format.
"Jimmie23" entered the $25k Heads Up Championship on Full Tilt Poker that took place a couple of months ago. He made it past the first round, beating Peter W Jepsen. He lost in the second round to "DaEvils" - with the board reading 3 8 6 7 with three diamonds, the two players got their chips into the middle of the table. "Jimmie23" held pocket sixes for a set, and "DaEvils" held 8-9 (with the nine of diamonds) for a straight flush draw and top pair. The river was the five of clubs, and "DaEvils" moved on to the third round, having made his straight.
