Messina Over 30 Million

Christian Zetzsche

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante

Michael Sklenicka raised to 450,000 on the button, and Alexandre Reard called out of the big blind.

On the flop, Reard checked, and Sklenicka continued for 300,000. Reard called. The turn brought no betting action, and Reard checked again on the river. Sklenicka bet 1,100,000, and Reard reluctantly folded.

In the next hand, Valentin Messina made it 525,000 to go, and Scott Stewart three-bet to 1,400,000. Out of the big blind, Jonas Mackoff asked for Stewart's stack size and seemed interested, but he ultimately folded. Messina asked the very same question: "How much are you playing?"

"Total with this, nine million," Stewart replied. After brief consideration, Messina four-bet to 3,150,000, and Stewart let go after giving it some thought.

"Let's Play Beer Poker!"

MrCleverFox

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante

Action folded around to Pedro Oliveira. He limped in from the small blind.

"Let's play beer poker!" he said, raising his cup and taking a sip.

"I hope you're ready to cheers before the flop," Bryan Piccioli said from the big blind. The two man tapped their glasses and took a sip, then Piccioli checked, taking the two to a flop.

On the flop, Oliveira bet 200,000. Piccioli and Oliveira tapped glasses, drank again, and Piccioli called.

Both players checked on the turn to the river. There, Oliveira bet 350,000.

Piccioli quickly folded, turning his face-up. "I had a really good hand on the flop," he said.

As the dealer saw what transpired, he warned Piccioli not to expose his cards without announcing his action, letting him know that he could receive a penalty.

"What, really?" Piccioli said. "Are you serious?"

"Wait, wait," Oliveira said. "You don't understand. We're playing beer poker. It's different."

The table had a laugh, and Oliveira took down the pot.
