We Got Action

Felipe Sansonetti

We pick up the action on the turn in what was brewing as a massive multi-way pot at a very tough table. The board showed {8-Spades} {Q-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {10-Spades}, and there was about 8,000 already in the middle of the table. First to act was Annette Obrestad, and she led out with a bet. Following that, a player raised, Felipe Sansonetti reraised, and Eric Mutrie put in a fourth raise. That was enough to fold the first two bettors, but Sansonetti quickly moved all in.

That sent Mutrie deep into the tank, and he would take several minutes of careful consideration before deciding on his course of action. He eyed up his own stack, then the chips in the pot, moving onward across the table to his opponent's stack. He stared at the board, then up at the ceiling. After a few more shakes of his head, he finally, and reluctantly released his hand, open-mucking {10-?} {10-?}. Everyone at the table seemed to know what Sansonetti was holding, and he did indeed table the {8-Diamonds} {8-Hearts}, flopping all four eights. He dragged in a sizable pot without confrontation, moving up dangerously close to the 40,000-chip mark here in the early going.
