Gentile Receives Divine Assistance

A really big pot had formed by the time we caught up with the action on the river. The board read {10-Clubs}

, and the bet from the very awesomely named Fabian Gentile was a whopping 80,000.

His opponent Tim Pedersen sat back in his chair, looking unhappy. "Full house?" he hazarded but didn't act. Eventually he decided he couldn't fold his hand and made the huge call for around half his remaining stack.

Gentile turned over {K-Clubs}

for the top full house.

"Damn it!" shouted Pedersen, "You lucky f***." He threw his {A-Clubs}

for the broadway straight down on the table and then he stormed off. When he returned it was to a very much reduced 70,000 stack. Gentile meanwhile is up to around 300,000.
