Paul Michaelis limped in on the button unopened, with Michal Schuh coming in for a raise to 26,000 from the small blind. Benjamin Benoit quickly made the call, with Michaelis putting in the extra as the three players took a flop.
Schuh put in a 38,000 continuation bet, before Benoit immediately raised it up to 79,000. Michaelis wasted little time in folding, while Schuh wanted to re-check his hole cards and sigh audibly before throwing his hand into the muck.
"You're at it again, aren't you?" came the cry from Jan-Peter Jachtmann at the other end of the table. There is a very apparent vibe from the other players that Benoit is often full of it but, as of yet, nobody seems able to do anything about it.
