Table 8 Erupts Into Action
As we rapidly approach the money bubble it appears that the players over on Table 8 are looking to pick up as many chips as possible whilst others simply try to fold to the money.
Three consecutive hands all created decent sized pots, here's how they went down.
Hand 1
On a board reading Team PokerStars Pro Luca Pagano checked to Vladimir Geshkenbein who made a bet of 38,000 into the pot that contained around 50,000 chips already. Pagano tanked for well over a minute before finally folding. Geshkenbein gave a wry smile as if he was going to show his hand but he mucked instead.
Hand 2
Andreas Wiese opened to 7,500 from middle position and only Jack Powell on the button called, thosugh Roland Norietis shaped to call before folding. The flop came down , Wiese bet 11,500 and Powell called. The turn brought the into play and both players checked. Finally, the river was the and Wiese sprung into action and bet 16,000 sending Powell into deep thought, so deep the lights in the tournament area dimmed for a brief moment, which Powell took as a sign and folded.
Hand 3
Wiese opened another pot to 7,500, Geshkenbein made it 18,000 to play only to see the player next to act, Iulian Ruxandescu, raise again to 40,200. The action folded back to Wiese who double checked his card and moved all in, prompting very quick folds from both of his active opponents.
