Muursepp Slam-Dunks Off a Few Chips
Well over 10,000 in chips had amassed in the middle of the table by the river of the board when we joined the action. PokerStars Sponsored Player Martin Muursepp, one of only two Estonians playing today, and by the by a former NBA basketball player, bet 2,500. Young British up-and-comer Javed Abrahams thought about it before raising to 10,000 - and thus elicited an almost instantaneous fold from Muursepp, who dropped below his starting stack to 27,000. Abrahams conversely edged back above his starting stack, on a shade over 30,000.
