Poker Frank! Poker Frank!

Apparently the Palm Beach Kennel Club is still buzzing from the performance of Frank Greentree, aka Poker Talk Frank, the host of Poker Talk America (4 p.m. weekdays, WBZT, 1230 AM).

Seems that Frank was playing in a tournament there -- "And it wasn't more than three or four hands in," he says -- when he got K of hearts, 5 of hearts. He calls.

Flop turns up two hearts; he bets a little bit, his opponent bets a little bit. A blank on the turn, but the fifth heart on the river.

With no pair on the board (so no full house), Frank goes all-in, gets called.

"Only an ace-high flush beats me," he reasons.

So an ace-high flush does. And his victor points at the cards and starts laughing, "Poker Frank! Poker Frank!"

Frank starts to make his exit -- "just about out the door," he says -- when the man's voice gets contagious. The room breaks into a chant for the early bust-out.

"Po-ker Frank! Po-ker Frank!"

Graciously, he bows and makes his exit. More fame for a guy working to get a show off the ground.
