Stepuchin's Powers of Confusion Yield Results
Level 5
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
With 15,000 in the middle on a completed board of A♥K♥5♠Q♠K♦, Frank Stepuchin bet 6,200 from the button.
When their opponent in middle position was considering their options Stepuchin asked "Have you ever eaten a cigar?" whilst spinning a football.
The oddball tactics appeared to work as the middle position made the call. Stepuchin tabled 5♥5♣ for fives full of kings, while the frustrated middle position tabled A♦Q♣ for top two pair with top kicker.
Stepuchin told PokerNews that he will be providing chicken wings and beer to all of their tablemates after Level 6. Players breaking will hope to be assigned to 'Frank the Tank's' table to get a free meal.
