Teddy Sheringham's presence at the table featuring Antonio Esfandiari and Team 888Poker's Sofia Lovgren has been anentertaining one, and we've just seen an epic hand. The discussion before the hand was Antonio instigating a bet about how many goal in his club & international career Sheringham has scored, and how many Lovgren would guess. As it happened, the hand put the discussion on hand as Sheringham, on the button) raised pre-flop against Sofia in the small blind. Lovgren three-bet to 4,800 and only Sheringham called to see a flop.
The flop of saw Sheringham bet 4,000 but Lovgren raised to 11,500. Sheringham called. The turn of
saw Teddy Sheringham make a bold move, betting 25,000. Lovgren re-raised all-in and Sheringham quickly called.
Sofia Lovgren: [AjQc]
Teddy Sheringham:
Sheringham had to fade a queen on the river, and when it fell , he had a massive 159,800 stack and Lovgren was out. Spectacular, and she never got to guess how many goals Sheringham had scored. If you had a round number in your mind, maybe you were right - 289 club goals added to 11 for England made it 300 up for Sheringham. He's flying high at the top of the chip counts.
