I joined the action with the board reading and Sorel Mizzi betting from the button. His opponent called. The turn came the , and Mizzi found his bet of 800 check-raised to 1,600. He paused momentarily before making the call.
On the river, Mizzi's opponent bet out and Mizzi threw in some chips, his opponent not realising it was a raise and subsequently revealing his prematurely.
In the end, the faux-pas made little difference to the pot, as he made the call anyway, only for Mizzi to take the pot with for the rivered straight.
Mizzi now on circa 17,500 whilst his defeated foe is left with 1,100.
Jordan Rich raised from the cutoff and flat-called a reraise from the button to see a flop, on which he check-raised. The button called the raise and they saw the river.
The turn came down the and this time Rich bet out. A short raising war broke out which culminated in Rich finding himself all, and they flipped the cards.
I'm not sure of the origin of the discussion (perhaps it's some bizarre prop bet), but Ted Forrest is currently engulfed in a discussion with the rest of the table about whether or not a UFC competitor could beat a bear in a fight. Topics that cropped up included tapping out, choke holds, and even whether or not weapons would be allowed. Personally, unless the bear was Rupert or Paddington, I'm not sure the UFC fighter would have much of a chance. Phil Ivey probably would though.
