Gorodetskiy Sings the Blues
The first player to act checked the flop and EPT Berlin finalist Ilya Gorodetskiy checked behind. The turn was the and this time Gorodetskiy's opponent bet out 1,100. Gorodetskiy made the call. They saw a river and this time the bet from Mr. Opponent was 5,300. Gorodetskiy dwelled up for a long, long time, and eventually folded, leaving his stack at 36,000.
While Gorodetskiy was dwelling up, we had time to go and examine the post-it note stuck to the table in front of a stack of chips and an empty seat. The post-it note said "david singer" on it.
Gorodetskiy told us that Singer had played two hands at their table. He was particularly amused by one where Singer bet out on a board with three clubs on it and had called a raise from an opponent whom Gorodetskiy described as (imagine awesome Russian accent), "Crazy." Singer check-called a bet on the offsuit {qx] river, and discovered that his pocket sevens were good to put him up to around 35,000.
The other hand which Singer played amused Gorodetskiy rather less, as it was a three-bet to Gorodetskiy's own raise. Singer took the pot and headed back to the other tournament he's playing today.
