A Weis Man Said ...

Jerome Solomon
Jerome Solomon
Level 5 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

As his friend Marius Gierse was unpacking to settle in after a table change, Oliver Weis commented that surely the two of them would tangle in a hand as soon as Gierse sat down.

Well, he was right.

In the first hand Gierse was dealt at the new table, Weis raised to 8,000 under the gun. Gierse reraised from the big blind,

Weis then went all-in with 164,000 chips total. Gierse was quick to call from the big blind.

Oliver Weis: A♣Q♥All in
Marius Gierse: Q♣Q♠

Gierse's queens were still the best after the runout 3♠7♥7♦3♥10♣, and he knocked his pal out of the tournament.

"He called it," Gierse said.
