From time to time, we give poker players a chance to read some of the mean things people tweet about them. We did the same thing at World Poker Tour Amsterdam, and here's what players like Anthony Zinno, Sorel Mizzi and Jason Wheeler had to face.
Steve Warburton raised to 22,000 from the cutoff and Giacomo Fundaro called from the button. Sandro Pitzanti three-bet quickly from the big blind to 85,000 and Warburton grabbed more ammunition as he slid forward 210,000.
Fundaro ran for cover but Pitzanti was not backing down just yet, as he made the call.
The flop brought out and both players checked.
On the turn the hit and Pitzanti checked to Warburton again, who bet 98,000 this time around.
Pitzanti folded quickly and Warburton raked in this massive pot.
Giacomo Fundaro made it 23,000 under the gun and Sandro Pitzanti in the hijack three-bet to 60,000. Action folded back to Fundaro and he four-bet to 144,000. This didn't scare away Pitzanti in the least, he made the call.
The flop came and Fundaro checked. Pitzanti made a bet of 100,000 and Fundaro called. The hit the turn and both players checked. Fundaro bet out a mere 47,000 on the river. Pitzanti slid forward two 100,000 stacks and made it 200,000. Fundaro glanced at his cards one more time, and folded.
Jason Wheeler raised to 22,000 and Kees van Brugge called after which Barrie Pietersz moved all in for 187,000. Wheeler tanked for a little while but in the end he folded, and Van Brugge called.

Pietersz shouted out some profanities out of disappointment, as the dealer brought out the .
The turn was the and the river the , knocking Pietersz out in 14th place. The Dutchman stormed out of the room cursing, while Van Brugge quietly raked in the chips.
Jason Wheeler raised to 22,000 and Sorel Mizzi three-bet to 52,000 after which Thierry van den Berg moved all in for 109,000. The action folded back to Mizzi, who made the call.
Van den Berg:
Mizzi:
"This is only the second time I've been all in this whole tournament, please let me win a flip," Van den Berg said.
The flop brought and Mizzi said, "There's one for you."
On the turn the hit, but the river spelled disaster when the crushed Van den Berg's dreams.
"Oh come one!" Van den Berg cried out, as he jumped out of his seat.
"Another two-outer! Unreal!" Van den Berg added as he left the tournament room extremely disappointed.
"He's for sure the unluckiest guy in poker," Mizzi said with a smile, as he felt sorry and happy at the same time we presume. Van den Berg exits in 15th place and just 14 players remain.
Erik van den Berg shoved all in from early position on Thierry van den Berg's big blind. Everyone folded to the six big blind shove, including shorty Van den Berg who showed .
The next hand big blind Kees van Brugge warned Van den Berg not to do it again, but Erik van den Berg didn't listen. He shoved all in under the gun for 81,000 and action folded to Fredrik Andersson. The Swede asked how much it was, and then three-bet to 144,000 from the hijack. It wasn't a legitimate raise, but as everyone else folded it wasn't a problem.
Fredrik Andersson:
Erik van den Berg:
Van den Berg didn't hit on the flop, but the flop brought some possibilities to win the hand anyway. The on the turn was a blank, but the on the river wasn't. "Yes!" said Barrie Pietersz, Van den Berg's friend at the table. Van den Berg made his straight and could sit down again, Andersson still has a sizable stack to work with.
Erik van den Berg (5 big blinds), Barrie Pietersz (10 big blinds), and Thierry van den Berg (12 big blinds) were all waiting for someone to bust, as there was a €1,800 bubble between 16th and 15th place. They were all hesitant to make a move, but they can now play freely again, as Scott Davies busted on the other table.
Giacomo Fundaro raised it up to 24,000 from the hijack and Sandro Pitzanti on the button made the call. Small blind Scott Davies shoved all in for 311,000 and Louis Salter folded his big blind. Fundaro tanked for a bit before he tossed in a single chip to call. Pitzanti looked up to the poker Gods, and folded.
Scott Davies:
Giacomo Fundaro:
The board ran out and Davies made his exit in 16th place. The remaining 15 players are guaranteed €12,000 from now on.
