Must Try Harder
Nelly Bluffed
The flop came before Nelly faced a 600 bet. He in turn raised it up to 1,200 before his opponent pushed for 3,225 total.
Nelly thought for a good while pounding his chips on the table and then folded face-up. His opponent then flipped over !!
All Nelly could say about that was "Wow".
Chocolate and Drinks
Meanwhile UK online player James Sudworth went one better, buying a whole round of jagerbombs for his tablemates. He then came up to explain a nasty hand.
"Had on an flop, ran into . I've still got 2,700 though."
"Whereabouts are you sitting?" I asked.
James turned around and looked at the eighty or so tables behind him, "Erm, I can't remember..." before wandering off to look for his stack.
Se-Bokked!
Bonjour
The latter just started moving back in the right direction. There was a raise to 175 from mid position that the button and Kitai in the big blind called.
The flop came before the aggressor continued with a 275 bet. The button folded before Kitai moved all in for 1,075. After a dwell the aggressor folded saying "Nice hand".
Kitai nodded and raked in the pot.
