60 Minutes does interviews at WSOP for upcoming story

Minutes anchor Steve Kroft was at the World Series of Poker today conducting interviews for an upcoming story on online poker that is being characterized as a hatchet job, according to a story at wickedchopspoker.com.

The Web site has pictures of Kroft interviewing several poker personalities for a story with an undetermined air date.

According to the story:

Kroft, 62, interviewed Mark Seif (wearing an Absolute Poker jersey), Mike Sexton (not wearing a Party Poker one), Linda Johnson (why? was Shari Flanzer unavailable?), and Greg Raymer (wearing a Poker Stars

The interviews took place in an empty Rio Amazon Room around 11 a.m.

We overheard Raymer discussing the need for the U.S. American government to regulate online poker, and we can surmise because we re smart-like-that that the rest of the messaging from the group was on point with the PPA s platform. Raymer, a Libertarian, said he doesn t see why the government should regulate his actions if they cause no harm to others. Johnson (why her again?) and Sexton both agreed with the need for regulation and taxation.

Whole thing here.

The setup: You've been running well in this 200/400 six max game when the following hand comes up. You're dealt a suited K7 in the SB. The table folds to the button, who raises 3x. You re-raise to 5,000, the BB folds and the button calls. You flop top pair:

Kh Qh 5d

You check and the button bets $6,500 into $10,400. You call. You make two pair with the 7h.

What's your play?
