Ping Pong Poker

[user46392]

Maybe poker is like tennis after all -- there's been an awful lot of back and forth chip movement, although no major change in the balance yet.

First the players see a {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{3-Spades}

{5-Diamonds}

flop, and Fernandez check-calls a 30,000 button bet from Singer. They both check the {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

turn, and Fernandez takes a shot at the pot, betting out 40,000 on the {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

river, but gives it up when Singer makes it 130,000. One-love to Singer.

Then Fernandez makes it 70,000 from the button and Singer calls. He goes on to check the {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

{6-Hearts}

{3-Spades}

flop, allowing Fernandez to bet 75,000. He dwells for a few moments in utter stillness before, with a sudden jerk of his hand, passing his cards and immediately getting up to chat to someone on the rail. One-all.
