Van Ackeren Leaves Lazar Speechless

A large pot was brewing in a battle of the blinds over on table 26 in which Romania's Tudor Bartha Lazar checked the river with around 90,000 behind. Mario van Ackeren then moved all-in and Lazar was seemingly slapped in the face as he was stunned instantly.

A couple seconds later, he grimaced and then folded the face-up with the words "what a fuckin river". Van Ackeren also showed his cards as he exposed the and then added "I am not a professional player" before leaning closer to Lazar. "But a pro can make a good fold," he added.

Benny Glaser explained that it had been a three-bet pot in which van Ackeren raised the turn before it all escalated.

"I made a lot of bad folds today, but he always had the nuts against me," Fabian Gumz joked from one seat over as several other players gasped after what had just unfolded.
