Saint-Bertin Down But Not Out

Frank Visser

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

The action was first caught on a board where three players were battling for the 60,000 chips already in the middle. Saint-Bertin checked from the big blind, which prompted his neighbor Joseph Chetrit to bet 30,000. After taking some time to think, Tomas de Couto folded his hand from the button, while Saint-Bertin called to see the river. This time Chetrit bet 25,000 after Saint-Bertin checked again, which was enough for Saint-Bertin to lay his hand down.

Manoe Betrix got his stack of around 100,000 in on the very next hand against Saint-Bertin in a preflop all-in situation. The cards were tabled:

Manoe Betrix:
Laurent Saint-Bertin:

The board ran out uneventfully, winning Betrix the pot and leaving Saint-Bertin with a stack of around six big blinds.

Labryga's Stack Keeps Growing

Frank Visser

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Jean Labryga came into Day 2 as overall chipleader and today has not been faring any worse for him so far.

In a pot against Thijs Dirkzwager, Labryga bet 22,000 from the small blind on the board of . On the button, Dirkzwager mulled it over for a couple of minutes until Labryga called the clock. The floor came over and gave Dirkzwager 30 seconds to make his decision.

Dirkzwager used this time to try and get some information out of his opponent by asking him if he would show if Dirkzwager folded. Labryga shook his head, and Dirkzwager had to forfeit his hand.

Labryga kept his word and did indeed not show his hand, but later claimed that he had a full house.
