Toothpick Swinging

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

On a flop that read {4-Diamonds}

, an opponent led out for 600 into Antonis 'Toothpick Tony' Kambouroglou who made the call.

Kambouroglou then called the opponent's bet of 900 on the turn of the {j-Diamonds}

and the bet of 1,300 when the dealer produced the {10-Diamonds}

on the river.

The dealer motioned to the player to turn up his cards, but the player appeared confused, not aware of the "first aggressor" rule. Eventually, he rolled up {a-?}

but was no good against Kambouroglou's {5-Diamonds}

.

Kambouroglou moved up 29,000 after that hand, but then shrunk to 11,000 in chips after Emad Tatouh doubled up to 25,000 against when his pocket kings hit a set on a {8-?}

board against 'The Toothpick' who held pocket aces.

Nasr passed the first option to his opponent who fired a 3,000 bet. Nasr made the call.

The turn brought the {7-Diamonds}

and Nasr led out with a 7,200 bet. His opponent called.

The river delivered the {5-Clubs}

and Nasr then decided to move all in -- a bet totaling 12,350. His opponent made the call and at the showdown, Nasr revealed the {k-Diamonds}

to claim the pot, kicking him up to 48,000 in chips.
