Filippi Jiggles While Wice Suffers

Amnon Filippi, reduced to 11,000, shoved from the button after it folded around to him. He jiggled a little, in an I'm-all-in kind of way. The small blind swiftly folded, but big blind Alex Wice, even shorter than Filippi on just 4,000 or so, seemed to be on the verge of some sort of breakdown.

"What's your name?" he insisted, clearly very wound up. "What's with the shaking?"

Filippi told him his name and while Wice rolled his eyes at the ceiling and underwent some sort of dreadful internal confusion, tablemate Chris Bjorin cheerfully asked Filippi, "Who's that guy in Vegas who always gets your name wrong?" Filippi told him, "Walter. He called me Aaron for years."

Wice was still suffering. "I am not a favourite against a random hand, put it that way," he said. "I just wanna see how much of a clown you are." Eventually Steven van Zadelhoff called the clock, and after a little while Wice folded, quickly flashing a {4-?} at Filippi. Filippi showed him a surprisingly premium {10-Hearts} {10-Clubs}.

By the by, if you're wondering where all the chips on that table went, Chris Bjorin looks to be chip leader right now on 165,000. His neighbour Owen Crowe is also doing rather well on around 100,000.
