Weisner Wound Up

We admittedly missed the action that led to the showdown, but we can venture a guess. One could surmise that Henryk Nowakowski opened with an early-postion raise, and Melanie Weisner three-bet him from the big blind. It appears that she put him to a decision for the other half of his chips on the flop with a leading shove. Either way, all 35,500 of Nowakowski's chips ended up in the middle when the dealer ran the first three cards.

Nowakowski: {5-Clubs}

Weisner:

We walked up just in time to see the tail end of a board that ran out {5-Hearts}

, giving Nowakowski the pot and the double up over 70,000. "Wow, five-six.." Weisner trailed off, down to about 30,000 now.

"Sorry, darling," Nowakowski replied patronizingly. "I'm not a French player." He pointed to his, well, rather noticeable midsection and added, "I play from here... And I thought you had ace-king." He shrugged, and Weisner sat there stewing.

Rumor has it she was relieved of the remainder of her chips while this post was being written.
