All Smiles & All Ins

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Now that the bubble has burst, the tension has broken and the remaining players are all smiles. The short stacks look as if a burden has been lifted and they are more than happy to get the chips in the middle and let the cards decide.

The calls of “Payout!” from the dealers are ringing out around Miranda with the next pay jump at 234 which will be worth a slight increase to $2,320.

Level: 12

Blinds: 800/1,600

Ante: 200

Mikhail Rudoy Has Tough Decision

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Jonolof Fredin moved all in from the button. Thomas Pettersson in the small blind had fewer chips but seemed to have a decision on his hands. He grinned from ear to ear, seemingly relishing the torture of his dilemma. In the end, he folded.

Seemingly, Mikhail Rudoy had a tough decision too as he didn’t immediately fold. “I have a hand.” Fredin told him.

“I know you do,” Rudoy said as he looked at the screen to see they were still 10 away from the bubble. Rudoy then thought better of it and folded his hand.
