Msika Drives Leibgorin Crazy
Richard Msika opened to 225,000 from the cutoff. The chip leader Michel Leibgorin in the small blind moved all-in and Richard Msika called, finding himself at risk for 910,000.
Richard Msika: 2♦2♥
Michel Leibgorin: Q♦Q♣
After the 9♠4♥J♥ flop, Msika hit the 2♣ turn. "No way," Leibgorin said while standing up. The 10♥ landed on the river and Msika doubled up.
“What do you think I have? You’re playing your tournament on a flip, at best,” Leibgorin said, fuming. “I already lost my tournament in the previous hand,” Msika replied.
With tensions running high at the table, the chips went all-in again just a few hands later.
Richard Msika: A♦9♥
Michel Leibgorin: A♣Q♠
Leibgorin thought he might get his revenge, but a board of 8♥K♦8♦6♥8♠ resulted in a chopped pot, which only added to his frustration. This brought a few amused smiles to some of the faces at the table.
