2008 World Series of Poker Europe
£10,000 WSOP Europe Main Event
Day: 2
The cameras were bristling around the table next door, but they missed a corker as Arieh eventually folded getting a gleeful flip of his from the Mad Monk.
Arieh fairly rose degrees in temperature as he said, "Agh I nearly called you with ...Didn't think you had any of that."
His frustration lent credibility to this story, but Andy was delightedly stacking, although admitted, "I was just about to be telling myself, as I head out the door - Andy you've done it again..."
Tablemate Jarred Solomon piped up then, laughing, "You're a crazy M**F** Andy, one crazy M**F**." I think that was taken as a compliment
Rob Akery (button - largest stack) =
Adam Junglen (UTG - middle stack) =
John Winchcombe (mid position - shortest stack) =
The board was about as harmless as it gets for Junglen, who scooped up what I'd imagine was a circa 80,000 pot. Akery, meanwhile, drops to 21,000, whilst Winchcombe drops out.
The fell on fifth street and Garza fired once more, slowly, yet deliberately placing an orange chip and two yellows (7,000) out in front of him. Sointula wasted no time making the call, and Garza insta-mucked.
Sointula was forced to turn over his cards anyway and revealed .
Hellmuth, not one to sit out of a debate, called across the room:
"Devilfish! Can we ask you a question?"
"Yeah," said Ulliott, sauntering over to the table. Hellmuth explained the mistake, the ruling, and Zolotow's odd desire for further inquiry about the general UK rule regarding this situation. He said nothing different to the floorman.
"Can we get a high ranking floorman?" Zolotow politely requested again.
"I asked the Devilfish!" remonstrated Hellmuth.
"Devilfish is not a floorman," pointed out Zolotow.
At this point their collective attention wandered back to the £10,000 tournament they have in hand, however.
Vayo: "That was me in that hand and I was getting 2-1."
Hellmuth: "2-1?"
Vayo: "In fact it was better than 2-1, I was getting 17-7."
Hellmuth: "Really, do you want to have a bet?"
The dispute continued for a moment until Matusow chipped in.
Matusow: "Kid, are you trying to have a rational conversation with Phil Hellmuth? That's like trying to talk to the rail on Full Tilt."
Sherkhan, "I don't mind if you hit a king, good luck." And the pair shook hands. The and sent Hellmuth to the rail and Matusow shouted out, "Who busted you? Sherkhan?"
At that point, due to Hellmuth's earlier rants, about three or four people said, "The worst player in the world?" To which Sherkhan replied, "I'm trying to prove I'm only the second worst." It was the second tournament Farnood had eliminated Hellmuth from, following the latter's exit in the H.O.R.S.E. tournament a few days ago.
Hellmuth left, followed by the entourage of cameras with little histrionics, though not without complaining he had hardly won a pot all day.
Moorman raising in late position may not be something people view with too much credibility, but this time when big blind Joe Beevers reraised to 7,200, it was met with a tower of red 5,000 chips immediately shooting out of Moorman's bigger stack to cover Beevers'. In spite of this, Beevers requested the 7,200 be taken in by the dealer revealing - yes - he'd be calling all in.
He eventually went for it - a further 21,000 all in with , racing Moorman's .
The came out first on the flop, followed by and Beevers is up to a healthier 60,000 while Moorman took his change from the all-in countdown and thumped it back on his stack with a silent frown.
