Expecting Mr. Anderson
Vinnie Anderson's regular casino is Aspers here in Stratford, and having final tabled more tournaments here than most, feels at home in the 888Live Poker Room here at the London Live Festival.
Anderson bet 1200 at blinds of 150/300 from under the gun, and was surprised to get four callers to a flop of 
. After Daniele Repici in the big blind checked to Anderson, he continued for 3,200. Everyone folded, but as Anderson turned to him and said "You're the last one", Repici raised - all-in for over 22,000!
Anderson folded, claiming a pair, but Repici won't care. The Italian player stacks up 32,000. Although that's still some way behind Anderson's double-starting-stack 50,200, Repici is well above average.
As you can see from the room pictured left (courtesy of 888Poker's William Powell) , it's very busy here on Day 1b. We have over 200 players in the room and two more levels of late registration and re-entry.
