Liiv & Let Die

Perica Bukara - snappy dresser, chip leader
Perica Bukara - snappy dresser, chip leader

We only caught the very tail end of this truly bizarre hand and reconstructed the action from the multilingual chattering at the end, but the upshot of this craziness is that Perica Bukara, the man in the great suit, is our new chip leader on around 130,000.

We understand that Bukara raised to 1,100 and Jose Obadia called. There was another call as well, before Hanno Liiva made it 10 or 15,000 from the blinds. Bukara went all in, the two callers folded, and Liiva seems to have called all in.

The hands:

Bukara: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Liiva: {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

Board: {4-Spades}{k-Hearts}{9-Spades}{a-Spades}{3-Clubs}

The expression on Liiva's face was just indescribable as he busted out and catapulted Bukara into the chip lead.

Said Obadia to Bukara, after Liiva had left: "My friend, if you don't say all in, I say all in. And I win too, ten jack spades, I make a flush. " [In Obadia's awesome Spanish accent, this was pronounced "ten jeck spides".] "I was sure it was a bluff."

The debate about how the hand played out continued as we backed away from the table.
