Some antics at table #94 attracted our attention, as well as the dealer saying, “all-in, call, call, call”. The action was pre-flop and involved Anderson F., Raphaël Ohayon, Krzystof Birecki, and Steven Brenie-Sinclair. The players were turning over their hole cards when we arrived at the table.

Raphaël:
Krzystof:
Anderson:
Stebven:

Anderson, a regular player at Playground, known for his antics at the tables, was up and chanting, “I’m ready to gamble!”, obviously pleased to have the only pair in the group. Not to mention the amount of aces, kings and queens already out among the other three opponent’s hands.

The flop came out , Anderson’s pocket seven’s holding for now. The on the turn didn’t change much. But then the river hit ; making the sevens to the worst hand out there. Flush for Krzystof, Aces & eights + King kicker for Steven, who picked up the side pot.

The river had Anderson whipping out his cell phone to check the odds of this happening. At the end of the hand, no bounty was exchanged since the winner (Raphaël) had the shortest stack coming into the hand. Anderson, who covered everybody was reduced to 5,000 chips and was seen leaving the tournament hall a few minutes later; obviously knocked out.

The players are taking a short break, and we’ll get a leaderboard up. Late registration will close with the end of the break.
