Is Maksim Pisarenko the James Blunt of Poker?
Level 21
: 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Francisco Benitez opened to 35,000 from middle position.
"Goodbye my lover!" sang Maksim Pisarenko in the style of James Blunt as he raised to 105,000. "Goodbye my chips!"
Benitez smiled at the other end of the table.
"You want whisky?" asked Pisarenko but the Uruguayan declined.
Mikhail Aleksandrov was in the next position and called. Benitez then four-bet to 275,000 and the two players both folded.
