Ludovic Riehl Survives the Death Stare
Ludovic Riehl is a French pro with a great record in six-max events around the world, including a 40th place finish here in this year's WSOP (Event #22 - $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em Six Handed), and today he is already displaying that proficiency for the shorthanded game.
We caught Riehl, who goes by the name "mikedou" online while playing as a Team Winamax team pro, playing a hand on the turn, with the board reading 
. After a player in the small blind checked, Riehl fired a bet of 3,250 forward, prompting his opponent to tank for over a minute before calling.
On the 
river, the player then tanked for two minutes before tapping the table, and Riehl calmly moved the rest of his stack in the middle, for a 9,775 all in bet.
His opponent then went about as deep into the tank as you can dive without the clock being called, staring at Riehl in the next seat over for more than five minutes, counting out the chips to call and pump faking the fold a few times. Eventually, despite all of the theatrics, the player was convinced by Riehl's bet, and his hand was finally tossed to the dealer.
