"God I Love Poker" - Gwinner's Sick Five-Bet | 2008 PokerStars.com EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo

Antonio Esfandiari opened the action with a raise to 3,400 which was flat-called by a player in late position. Henrik Gwinner then squeezed both players, making it another 10,200 to go. Esfandiari folded before the player in late position who, after flat-calling the previous bet, decided to now reraise the action again, increasing the bet amount by an additional 20,000 in chips.

"Wow," said Gwinner before going into the tank. Both players were deep-stacked, and with over 30,000 in the pot already, it was a tournament make-or-break decision for the T6 Poker representative.

After several minutes of deep thought to build the suspense, Gwinner gathered his stacks of chips together and slid them into the middle in declaration that he was all in! "God I Love Poker!" came the cry from Esfandiari, as the media contingent swarmed the table in anticipation.

This five-bet pre-flop was an additional 55,000 to his opponent and represented the majority of his stack. He thought for a moment, shrugged and reluctantly tossed his cards into the muck.

Gwinner then flipped over his hand - a jaw-dropping {A-Diamonds}

- much to the disgust of his opponent and the shock of the rest of the table.

A world-class, and somewhat sick, move by Gwinner has elevated his stack to around 125,000 in chips!
