The Big Bluff

[user76023]
[user76023]
Nothing excites a player than highlighting someone elses mistakes. Some players don't like to show the big bluff as it gives their opponents info but others like to use it to create an imagine, tilt an opponent or it can just be an ego thing.

With the board reading {5-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {4-Hearts} Dennis Bejedal had moved all-in on the river for about 40,000. Giulio Astarita was the man doing his tank-thing before eventually folding. Bejedal then showed {Q-Clubs} {7-Clubs} for a missed draw before wiping the sweat from his head in relief.

The Swede has 110,000 now.

E-Dog and the Lost Puppy

We just spotted Erick Lindgren meandering around the tournament area looking like a boy who lost his puppy. Finally, Erica Schoenberg came up and gave him a quick peck on the cheek. "Call me later," E-Dog said.

From this, we'll assume that Lindgren is no longer a part of this field. Also recently nixed was Alex "Assassinato" Fitzgerald, though we didn't see anyone peck him on the cheek upon his departure.

Victory in the Stars for Leo

Yan Ho Cheng Leo raised from the button only for Clement Thumy to make it 4,800 from the big blind. Leo pushed to cover, Thumy called all in, and they were racing.

Leo: {9-Clubs} {9-Spades}
Thumy: {A-Clubs} {J-Hearts}

Board: {9-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {6-Spades}

The two shook hands and while a dazed Thumy headed for the rail, Leo sat back down to a 150,000 stack.

We're not terribly sure what happened, but former chip monster Ludovic Lacay is down to 45,000, less than half of his formerly glorious stack. All we know is that he was looking rather glum while the gentleman to his left was stacking up rather a lot of chips...

Gonna Need A Bigger Boat, Man.

Barny Boatman was all-in for about 10,000 on a flop of {5-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {5-Spades} with about 15,000 already in the pot. Andrea Delle Molle tanked for about five minutes before calling with {9-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} ahead of Boatman's {3-Diamonds} {3-Hearts}. As the turn {A-Clubs} and river {9-Clubs} were dealt, Boatman asked, "How do you say 'slowroll' in Italian?" Clearly thinking that Molle should have called much much sooner.

Quickest 50K Pot. Ever.

Gerald Vanstrydonck raised to 1,600 in middle position and Finn Antti Karkkainen reraised to 4,000 behind him. The action was passed back to Vanstrydonck who thought for about 10 seconds and set Karkkainen all-in.

The Finn sighed, rechecked his cards and called.

Vanstrydonck glumly turned over {3-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} but was in fact ahead of Karkkainen's {A-Clubs} {K-Clubs}. That only lasted though until the {9-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {K-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} board was dealt out putting Karkkainen up to about 50,000 while Vanstrydonck is crippled as a result.

Down and Up for Minieri

Details are a bit scare for these two hands that happened in quick succession, but we'll tell you what little we know.

Dario Minieri had pocket queens, and a raising war put his opponent all in before the flop. He tabled two aces though, and the board blanked off to double him up and knock Minieri down to about 25,000.

A few hands later, Minieri found a spot to get it in preflop holding ace-king. This time he ran into the same pocket queens that had stricken him, but the ladies were kind to Minieri this time around. He found a pair on board, overcoming his opponent's queens to double back close to 60,000.
