All-In! All-In! All-In!

A lot of preflop all-in-aments going on right now. James Keys has won back to back allins taking down the blinds and Pat Scanlan just did the same to Gus Hansen's big blind.

Gus thought about it for a while

"Pack the bags" Scanlan shouts to the rail

"Good speech" Gus says as he mucks his cards

"Go Sweden!"

Rodin's 'The Thinker'
Rodin's 'The Thinker'
... was the cry from the crowd as Magnus Persson won a monster pot off Annette Obrestad.

It was a bizarre hand in truth, Annette raising pre-flop to circa 25k before firing three bullets (45k, 90k & 150k) on an {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{J-Spades}{8-Hearts}{K-Clubs} board, Magnus check-calling on every street with {Q-Clubs}{J-Hearts}.

The final card, however, resulted in a massive dwell from Magnus, who thought and thought and then thought some more before having one quick final thought, but in the end, and after my beard had grown to wise wizard proportions, he eventually made an excellent call that was commended by Annette.

Clash of the Titans

Tino Lechich: not afraid to get it all in the middle
Tino Lechich: not afraid to get it all in the middle
We nearly had a million dollar pot here... Lechich raised preflop, and found John 'Kunkuwap' Tabatabai re-raising from the small blind a further 62k. Back to Lechich, who pretty much instantly announced, "All in," counting down around 360k which would pretty much send Tabatabai to the felt if he called and lost. He did look to be genuinely considering going for it, though - a lot of inspecting of his own stack and his opponent's before eventually he conceeded the pot to the Australian.
