Tales From Table 23

Table 23 is one of the most stacked tables in the room so we thought we'd stand by the table for a few hands to see what occurred:

  • Matthias De Meulder and Zimnan Ziyard had made it to the river with 6,200 in the middle. The board read {2-Spades}{k-Hearts}{q-Spades}{a-Hearts}{6-Clubs} and the Belgian Team PokerStars Pro led for 2,500. Ziyard raised to 7,200 and took the pot as De Meulder tank-folded.
  • De Meulder raised to 525 from under the gun and picked up two callers. The flop fell {8-Hearts}{q-Spades}{k-Spades} and a Marco Leonzio bet for 1,850 from the button folded out his two opponents.
  • Fatima Moreira de Melo raised from under-the-gun and took the blinds and antes.
  • Luigi Pignataro raised to 525 from the cut-off and folded when Moreira de Melo three-bet to 1,700 from the big blind.
    Not that exciting really but that is the reality of live deep stack MTT poker. A lot of patience is needed to become a success.
