Swiderski Gives the Table a Physics Lesson, Then One in Poker
While the previous hand at this table was taking place, Rania Nasreddine dropped her can of Coke on the floor.
"Can somebody open this for me? I'm wearing cashmere," Nasreddine said.
"If you do this, it fixes it," tablemate Kacper Swiderski said as he grabbed the can and began spinning it around.
Nasreddine then gave Swiderski her phone and he began filming her trying to open it. "Should I take the cashmere off," Nasreddine said as she pulled the tab. She successfully managed to open it without any spilling. "Yay Poland!" she yelled out.
"Can you explain the physics of how that works?" Barny Boatman asked.
"Something about the pressure inside and outside the can," Swiderski replied.
"You learn something new every day. And they say poker players only know about crypto and bad beats," Nasreddine added.
Antonio Buonanno raised to 1,600 under the gun and everyone at the table except Boatman called. The flop came 4♠7♠6♥ and action checked to Sergiy Dudka who bet 4,000 in the cutoff.
Only Swiderski called and the 5♥ fell on the turn. Swiderski bet 3,500 and Dudka called. The river was the 4♦ and Swiderski bet 8,000.
Dudka folded this time and Swiderski slammed down J♠10♠ for a bluff to win the pot.
