Meidla Wants Quaade's Apple
Lauri Meidla has just added more than 20,000 chips to his stack without having to go to showdown. He raised to 4,000 from under the gun and the action folded to Roberto Romanello on the button and he made the call. Next to act was Thomas Quaade in the small blind and he raised to 16,000 only to see Meidla move all in for 88,300. Romanello folded and Quaade went into the tank.
It must have been quite a deep tank as he spent more than four minute in it. "You want my apple don't you?" he asked Quaade, referring to the red apple he has in front of him. "You promised me that apple," chimed in Sam El Sayed.
Eventually Meidla asked if he could call time and one of the floor staff came over but before they could give instructions Romanello said sarcastically, "Right, you now how eight minutes to make your decision!" The official 60 second countdown began and within a matter of seconds Quaade folded.
