Randal Flowers raised to 850 from the cutoff and after Stephen Chidwick had folded his button it was on Dominik Nitsche in the small blind.
"Hey, I think Dom is about to three-bet me," Flowers said as he looked over at your truly who scribbled away.
Nitsche did indeed three-bet and made it 2,500 to go while both players kept joking around. Flowers casually put in a four-bet to 5,650 and the action was now back on Nitsche.
Flowers stared Nitsche right in the eyes for several second and cracked up saying, "You know you have beautiful eyes."
Nitsche burst out in laughter but moved all in after he regained his composure. Flowers made the call for 22,750 total and the showdown went as following.
Nitsche:
Flowers:
The board ran out and Flowers was left behind with just 2,600 chips.
"Hey Neil," Flowers yelled to events manager Neil Johnson, "When does the £2k turbo start?"
Johnson responded that the £2,000 turbo event starts at eight o'clock while Flowers moved all in. The two-time WPT winner did not get called and the same thing happened when he shoved two hands later. Flowers is still in it but he will need a few double ups in order to give himself a chance to make Day 2.
"This is pretty tilting," the short stack eventually sighed. It might seem like Flowers just jokes around but he's obviously here to get some good results. Meanwhile Nitsche is in great shape with around 48,000 chips.
