The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

We just had a tense three-way standoff on Table 53, and all we were missing was the Ennio Morricone soundtrack. Imran Ahmad raised to 25,000 and Charis Anastasiou called. Rob Kluber raised to 100,000. Ahmad then raised it to 200,000 total. At which point Anastasiou, who had flat-called Ahmad's 25K bet, moved all-in for over 600,000.

Kluber looked mildly agitated as he tried to decide what to do. He'd taken the initiative in the hand and had it snatched away...twice. He took several minutes before choosing to muck his hand and walk away from the table.

Then it was Ahmad who had to think long and hard about what to do. He also took several minutes staring down Anastisiou before he folded and flipped over his hand--pocket Queens. Kluber said he folded pocket Kings. And Anastasiou raked in the pot without showing what he had.
