"Go Sweden!"

[user4144]

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}

{A-Spades}

{Q-Hearts}

{J-Spades}

{8-Hearts}

{K-Clubs}

board, Magnus check-calling on every street with {Q-Clubs}

{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.
