The Pique Effect

Christian Zetzsche

Level 3 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

A camera team and four photographers followed Gerard Pique to the registration and then to his table, immediately quick firing at the Spanish football star as soon as he had taken a seat. The field has increased frantically over the past hour with a lot of players showing up at the same time, and many tables are opened almost simultaneously to accommodate the growing field.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 3 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

In a previous hand, Leo Yan Ho Cheng raised to 3,000 and Christian Christner three-bet to 11,000 out of the big blind to force a fold.

Then, Steve O'Dwyer three-bet to 14,000 from the button and initial raiser Ho Cheng four-bet to 30,000. O'Dwyer moved all in and was snap-called.

O'Dwyer:
Ho Cheng:

The board ran out and O'Dwyer was covered, but the American with Irish roots will most likely be back soon for his second bullet.
