Kunal Patni raised it up to 1,000 and was called one way. Ly Huong Le then three-bet to 4,700 and Patni simply pushed all-in, enjoying a deep massage at the same time. The cold-caller folded and so did Le, as both were shown the 
by Patni.
"I am angry," Patni replied when being asked upon but had a smile on the face.
Fast forward one hand, Patni opened to 1,000 and the same player called once more. Le three-bet to 5,100 this time ... and received two folds. "Not angry anymore," Patni grinned.

flop from 1,000 to 4,500. Wong folded and flashed the 
to which Rothmund replied "same hand" with a grin on the face.
One hand later it folded to the German and Michael Falcon in the big blind asked "you gonna fold now?" Rothmund then limped and Falcon made it 1,400 to go. Rothmund limp-raised to 6,400 and Falcon was not a quitter as he stuck around.
The 
flop was bet by Rothmund for 4,000 and Falcon called. Both checked the turn and Rothmund bet the river for 22,000. "Too much ... the problem is, I just got my Caesars Salad and don't want to leave this table," Falcon sighed.
Once he folded, the Dane whispered "I had pocket tens".
