"[...] That Was One Of The Most Absurd Hands I Ever Played"

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante
Murariu involved in min-raising war
Murariu involved in min-raising war

We missed the pre flop action but saw very well what happened post flop. Jason Lavallee and Dan Murariu were once again at it, and again Lavallee would come out on top.

Lavallee checked the {A-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{2-Spades} flop, and called after Murariu bet 600. Lavallee checked once more on the {J-Spades}-turn and Murariu bet again 600. Lavallee made it 1,200 and Murariu raised to 1,800. This still was a no-limit hold'em tournament, but these two were min-raising like crazy. Lavallee called and the river came the {A-Spades}.

Lavallee bet out 600 and Murariu raised to 1,200. Lavallee was done min-raising and tossed in two 5,000 chips to make it 10,600. Murariu called but wouldn't get those chips back. Lavallee showed {K-Spades}{J-Clubs} for a rivered flush. Murariu mucked his {Q-Spades}{3-Spades} and licked his wounds.

All through the hand both Lavallee and Greenwood almost couldn't hold a straight face, constantly grinning. Lavallee finally did really laugh after the river, almost excusing himself; "I never laugh after I win a hand, but that was one of the most absurd hands I ever played". Murariu, who still has a reasonable stack left, was grinning himself after playing a rather bizar hand.
