Le Baron Winged

Sebastien Le Baron has taken a few shots to his chip stack in the last few hours and this hand certainly didn’t help.

With an open to 1,500 from under-the-gun player Mario Vanackeren, Le Baron called as did three other players. The flop came down and when Vanackren continued for 6,000 Le Baron was the sole caller. The turn was the and a check from Vanackeren prompted a 9,800 bet from Le Baron. Vanackeren responded by moving all in for 42,000
Le Baron went in le tank. Eventually he asked if Vanackeren would show if he folded. Vanackeren responded that he had already shown another player earlier but that he would allow him to pick one card. Le Baron folded face up and then picked the from Vanackeren’s hand.

After a brief discussion it was established that Vanackeren had and Le Baron had folded the best hand but Vanackeren went through his thought process and the combination of hands he could have had as the under-the –gun raiser meaning Le Baron was forced to fold to the shove. Le Barom listened but looked pained.

At the far end of the table PMU poker player Laurence Humler looks to have grabbed a few of the chips flying around this particular table having waited patiently for openings most of the day with no much coming her way until recently.
