: 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Ace king (or Anna Kournikova) looks good but never wins. Doubled through the same opponent. Now my JJ held up. Playing 120k #WPTNBrusselsFollow @dietervi

"Can't I Eat my Cards?"
Level 14
: 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Matas Cimbolas raised from under the gun and was called by Jussi Cimbolas in the big blind. During the hand, Cimbolas already talked a lot to his opponent and they checked down the 
board until the river. Before it was the turn of the Finn to make his decision, Cimbolas was at it again.
"Don't forget, you are on tilt. Don't make any crazy moves." About two seconds later Matilla moved all in and Cimbolas asked for a count. It was 39,100 to call and the question "If I fold, you show your bluff?" went unanswered. Eventually Cimbolas called and was shown the 
.
The Lithuanian was reluctant to turn over his cards, since it was an all in showdown tournament director Christian Scalzi reminded him that all cards had to be shown. "Can't I eat my cards?" Cimbolas asked and the entire table cracked up. It was the 
of Cimbolas that brought both players almost even in chips.

Level 14
: 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
The table of Michael Gathy appears to be "a massacre" (quote from another blogger), as Jean Montury was also sent to the rail. Among the other players to be seated is Bjorn Wiesler, who started Day 2 as one of the shortest stacks. The German has however recovered nicely even though he folded 
from the small blind to the big blind of Gathy.
