Poker Is a Complicated Game
In what might very well be one of the most confusing hands ever to take place at the King's Casino, Konstantinos Nanos fired out 37,000 into a pot of 65,000 on an ![]()

board. Martin Wrulich's hand was just inches from being mucked, as he had temporarily placed his cards over the betting line, but he successfully stopped the dealer in mucking them after a lengthy discussion about betting lines and protection of hands. Instead, he went out on his own terms a few minutes later as he decided to fold.
Action was now on Christian Stratmeyer who after a minute in the tank threw out a raise to 60,000. After 30 seconds a player at the table noted, how the minimum raise really should be 74,000, and Stratmeyer agreed and put out and additional 4,000 chips. It took almost another minute before that mistake was rectified and another 10,000 was put in the middle, and with action back on Nanos, he called rather quickly.
The
turn prompted a shove from Nanos for 154,000, and that put Stratmeyer in the deep tank once again. All of a sudden Nanos wanted to know, whether he could show one card to his opponent. Christian Scanti was summoned, but while they waited for him, a fourth player decided to call the clock on Stratmeyer.
Scanti made it to the table, confirmed that no cards were to be turned over untimely and started the count down on Stratmeyer, who seemed more interested in discussing whether it was fair for the clock to be called than actually pondering his decision.
Ultimately Stratmeyer flashed the
and mucked his hand, and Nanos scooped the pot after what must have seemed like an eternity to the other players at the table.
