Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Several players are enjoying a beer as the tournament moves into the last hour of a long day for the survivors. One player in Brasilia seems to have started enjoying himself a little earlier that most and is a little worse for wear. Every now and then he can be heard to shout, “You've gotta have heart.” as he wins another pot.

We witnessed a recent hand where he called a raise and four players called to see a king high flop and he bet out, pointing to each player as they folded in turn and the pot was pushed to him.

On the next hand he asked how much the big blind was and on hearing it was 400 he announced a bet of 1,400. The player to his left went all in for 12,000 and when it got back to him he called with {a-Spades}{j-Clubs} and was against {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}. The cards ran out {2-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{j-Spades} and on seeing the river card he gave out another whoop of, “You’ve gotta have heart.”

As the busted player walked past he got his wallet out and tried to offer him $200 but was refused.

He would only tell PokerNews that his name was Bartlett (He’s wearing a Bartlett Construction T-Shirt) and with his chips stacked in a haphazard jumble we could only guess how much he has.
