Price is right for Beevers to play a junk hand
SOMETIMES you get pot odds so monstrous that you can't fold even 7-deuce. Just ask classy British pro Joe Beevers of poker's well-known "Hendon Mob." At the 2009 World Series of Poker $10,000-buy-in main event at Las Vegas' Rio Casino, with blinds at $250-$500 plus a $50 ante, Beevers found 7-2 of hearts in the big blind, a hand usually mucked quickly.
