Gorodetskiy Sings the Blues

The first player to act checked the {5-Clubs}{4-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop and EPT Berlin finalist Ilya Gorodetskiy checked behind. The turn was the {6-Spades} and this time Gorodetskiy's opponent bet out 1,100. Gorodetskiy made the call. They saw a {6-Clubs} river and this time the bet from Mr. Opponent was 5,300. Gorodetskiy dwelled up for a long, long time, and eventually folded, leaving his stack at 36,000.

While Gorodetskiy was dwelling up, we had time to go and examine the post-it note stuck to the table in front of a stack of chips and an empty seat. The post-it note said "david singer" on it.

Gorodetskiy told us that Singer had played two hands at their table. He was particularly amused by one where Singer bet out on a {10-}{10-}{8-}{3-} board with three clubs on it and had called a raise from an opponent whom Gorodetskiy described as (imagine awesome Russian accent), "Crazy." Singer check-called a bet on the offsuit {qx] river, and discovered that his pocket sevens were good to put him up to around 35,000.

The other hand which Singer played amused Gorodetskiy rather less, as it was a three-bet to Gorodetskiy's own raise. Singer took the pot and headed back to the other tournament he's playing today.
