Mestre Wields Big Stack With a Smile

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Raul Mestre had defended his big blind against a lone opponent, then reached the turn of a board reading {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{a-Spades}. Both players checked and the dealer burned and turned the last community card, the {q-Spades}.

Mestre’s opponent eyed his opponent warily, obviously aware that he could put his tournament at risk if he so wished, and that’s exactly what he did. Mestre casually slid out a tower of orange T5000 chips for a bet of 150,000.

The player looked skeptical but helpless and mucked his hand, shooting glances at Mestre while the Spaniard released his cards and stacked the chips. For his part Mestre let a little smile play across his face, which surely didn’t go unnoticed by his opponent.
