Feature Table Fireworks

Things have been relatively quiet over at the Feature Table, but a hand just developed that may have been the biggest of the day at that particular table. We caught the action on the {J-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop when Guy Laliberté checked from the small blind and Tobias Reinkemeier bet 125,000 from the cutoff.

Laliberté responded with a check-raise to 425,000, Reinkemeier called, and it was off to the {6-Hearts} turn. Laliberté has been active and aggressive when he does play, and he continued that pattern by firing out 800,000. Reinkemeier thought for a brief moment and then put in the call.

The {4-Diamonds} river didn't see Laliberté miss a beat as he repeated his bet of 800,000. This time Reinkemeier looked at him inquisitively. "Guy, what are you doing? Do you have a straight?" Reinkemeier asked.

Laliberté remained silent as the minutes ticked by. Reinkemeier cut out chips, then went back to his cards, all in what appeared to be an attempt to get a reaction from Laliberté. "Are you gonna show?" he asked in one last-ditch attempt.

Laliberté did not respond and did not show when Reinkemeier ultimately folded.
