"No Gamble, No Future"
In one of the final hands of the day, it was Paul Berende who limped in for 600 at a table that has seen crazy action all day. Jin Yong and Marcel Goldenbelt also limped along before Marco Rodrigues made it 10,000 straight. Back on Berende, he limp-reraised and slid a large tower of T-5,000 chips forward.
Yong and Goldenbelt quickly got out of the way but Rodrigues had a different plan.
"Gamble." he said, determined, and instantly flicked in a calling chip. The call was for his entire stack of 59,025.
Marco Rodrigues:
Paul Berende:
Berende was in a commanding spot to claim a massive overnight chip lead but fate would tell a different story as the flop came . The "oohs", "aahs" and "that's so sick" at the table increased in volume as the dealer revealed the on the turn to give Rodrigues quads, making the river inconsequential.
"It's a Chinese thing," Yong lectured after the hand. "No gamble, no future!"
