When we reached Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott's table, the dealer had already spread and there was about 2,000 in the pot.
Ulliot led for 1,000, his opponent raised to 2,500 and Ulliott went into the tank.
"You're on the draw then?" Ulliott asked. "Or you have six-five."
Devilfish tanked a little longer before raising to 9,000 effectively putting his opponent all in.
"Aw jeez," his opponent muttered.
He eventually called all in and the hands were opened.
Showdown
Ulliott:
Mr. Aw Jeez:
"I knew you had that and I still called," Ulliott said in frustration.
His mistake was rewarded however when the turn and river came , respectively, and Ulliott counterfeited his opponent. His opponent couldn't believe what he had seen and it took him a moment to gather his things and bow out of the tournament.
Ulliott's good fortunate has him sitting with 30,000 chips.
It is still really, really cold in the Pavillion Room and the players are not taking it lying down.
Lars Bonding, who a while ago was saying really quite obscene things very loudly every time a TD passed by, finally walked up to the TDs' desk in an attempt to get the air con turned down.
"Is it colder than Denmark?" chuckled Nicolas Levi as Bonding passed by; Levi was smart enough to bring a coat.
One of the TDs came back with Bonding to his table to apologize to the players. They had been demanding a table change, but the hapless TD explained to them that all the tables are cold, and he's already spoken to everyone he can think of about it, air conditioning issues at the Rio not really being part of his remit as a tournament director.
"I agree with you 100%," he told the players, "This is too cold."
We can only hope that the person responsible for resetting the thermostat is eventually found and persuaded to up the temperature in here a little.
The board read when we arrived, and Paul Berende (small blind) checked. The action moved over to Yevgeniy Timoshenko (button), who promptly moved all in.
Berende sat back in his chair and let out an almighty sigh. Then he called.
Timoshenko had mucked even before Berende turned over . "Nice hand," he said and took his leave. A grin spread across his face as he left.
The board read and there were exactly three clubs on it when we caught the hand at showdown. One young gentleman turned over for trips, but Keith "Camel" Hawkins revealed two more clubs for a flush, and was up to 35,000.
Shannon Shorr opened to 525 on the button and a player in the small blind three-bet to 1,400. Shorr paused for thought and then made the call.
The dealer flopped and Shorr's opponent led for 1,100. Shorr grabbed two orange T5,000 chips and flipped them forward to put his opponent all in. The player released and Shorr is now up to 43,000 chips.
