Holy Smokes!

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Though the action between the final may be lukewarm, things got a little heated all of a sudden (and it was unpleasant, we might add, but we stress that it wasn't between the players).

Earlier, Waki Waki raised to 24,500 from under the gun and the action folded around to Kosta Varoxis who called from the small blind before the both checked the flop of {K-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{J-Clubs}. Varoxis then fired out 32,000 on the turn of the {3-Clubs} and Waki quickly folded.

A short time later, we saw Leo Boxell, Varoxis and Waki check down a flop of {Q-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} before Boxell opened for 40,000 on the turn of the {8-Clubs}. Waki was the only caller and then Boxell check-folded after Waki bet on the river of the {9h).

The action was then interrupted for some time after a strong burning smell permeated the Crown Poker Room. The players all jumped out of their seats, thinking that something was on fire beneath them, but as it turned out, apparently there was a bin fire upstairs. Play was able to resume shortly after everyone had settled down.
