Rafi opens for...........
The turn and river do not improve Rafi, however, at the end of the hand he says "Straight," to which Tony G replies, "I'm gone, on my bike," and stands up.

Dancing Queens
I joined the action on the flop of a with Persson check-raising his fellow Scandinavian and thinking gimme gimme gimme a fold. Hagen calls and the two players see a . "Mama mia!" thinks Persson as he checks what is clearly an unfavourable turn.
Hagen takes a chance and checks behind him allowing the dealer to flip over the river. Huffing and puffing slightly, perhaps with a flopped two pair or even a straight, Persson checks. Hagen then chucks 20k into a near 100k bet, a bet so small that Persson surely can't resist. However, like the super trooper he is, he realises that he's probably behind and being teased into calling, and so makes the fold.
As a result, the winner takes it all and Hagen scoops in all the money money money to leave Persson with 115,000, a far cry from the near 200k he possessed not too long ago.

Bubble Play, Anyone?
It should be interesting, most players seem the sort for whom mere cashing is not a primary concern, so maybe it will be a shorter bubble than we are used to?
