Tough Decisions

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Now that everyone left is in the money, a lot of players are really starting to have fun, especially if there are cameras nearby.

We arrived at a table to see the dealer pull in a bet and a call on the flop. The board read , and Max Steinberg and Age Spets were the only players in the hand. The turn was the , and both players checked. The then completed the board on the river, and Steinberg led out for 50,000.

Spets immediately contorted his face in an anguished look and took off his sunglasses. He said, party to himself, partly to the table, "I think I'm behind, here." He then pulled two dark green 25,000-denomination chips from his stack, and played with them in his right hand while he continued to talk about his situation. "I'm behind, that's what it looks like." "Do you think I'm behind?" he asked Steinberg. Steinberg sat motionless, saying nothing. "What do you want me to do?" Still nothing.

Then Spets had a minor epiphany. "We could flip for it." He pulled a coin out of his pocket and asked Steinberg, "Do you want to flip for it?" Steinberg still said nothing. "Ok, we'll flip for it," Spets decided. "Do you want heads or tails?" Spets finally got a reaction from Steinberg. "Heads," he said starting to crack a smile, as he couldn't help but be entertained by Spets's thought process. Spets then started to flip, but he paused. "Wait, is it heads I call or heads I fold?" Steinberg kept smiling, still slightly shaking his head, and said nothing. "Ok," Spets decided. "If it's heads, you decide, if it's tails, I decide." He then stood up. "Let's play," He flipped the coin, caught it and slapped it on the back of his other hand. "It's my decision," he said. Steinberg, still smiling, told him, "It was always your decision."

Spets sat back down, then tossed forward the green chips. "I have king-jack," Steinberg announced as he turned over . Spets nodded, as if that's what he expected, and tossed his cards to the muck.

Schwartz Takes a Monster Beat For Huge Pot; Receives One Round Penalty

Sam Cosby

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

In one of the biggest hands of the tournament so far, we saw Luke Schwartz take a monster beat for a pot that would've made him the chip leader. The aftermath of the hand earned Schwartz a one round penalty.

Josh Pollock opened from middle position. Action folded around to Schwartz, who reraised in the small blind . Action folded back to Pollock and he put in a fourth bet which was 37,000 more. Schwartz then put in a fifth bet for 60,000 more and action was back to Pollock. He went deep into the tank for almost two minutes before finally announcing that he was all in for a total of 349,000 more. Schwartz snap called.

Schwartz:
Pollock:

It was a classic cooler situation and since he was on the favorable end, Schwartz pulled out $200 from his pocket and laid it in the dealer's tray. "This is for you," he said.

"I can't accept this right now," the dealer said.

Perhaps Schwartz was hoping for some good fortune so he would be able to fade a king with his tip to the dealer. Unfortunately for him, the flop came down . Schwartz stood up from the table and let out a huge, exasperated sigh. He began pacing around the tan section of the Amazon Room, knocking over chairs, kicking tables and even tearing down a curtain in his path.
