Elle and I celebrate the 17th of May for our Norwegian friends by tasting Maker's Mark blondies. Here is the recipe. We talk about women crushing it at the WSOP-c Commerce and the return of the Big Game.  I also went to play in my typical home game and it got us thinking about how listeners can use their home game to send someone to the Ante Up Poker Cruise. Elliot rules on a situation where cards were mucked in a tournament on the "Call the Floor" segment. Did the dealer act inappropriately in this situation or is it a grey area. In our "HOTW" segment Patrick and I break down a hand with KJ off suit on the button. There are a few takeaways from this hand.
