Peter Turmezey Climber of the Day

Young Peter Turmezey returned today with a stack just below what he'd started with on Day One, but has grown it six fold during the three levels they've played today. I noticed one of the camera crews asking his name as seven towers of green 25 chips were colored up at the last break, one saying, "How did you get hold of all these," in the tone one might use towards a cat up a tree. He might not speak English as his first language, and be a quiet force at the table, but he doesn't look like he lacks confidence or the stacks to back that up with action.

Just now he saw a flop with his neighbor Kim-Andre Torsvik of {A-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {K-Spades}, having called a preflop raise on the button. Check to Turmezey - out shoots his hand with 8,000 in it, making a bet which was quickly reraised all in by his shorter-stacked neighbor. He let it go sharpish.

Turmezey's left hand side neighbor is Mike Matusow, who chuckled, saying, "You know, you're allowed to check behind when you know he's hit. And then fold. I know they tell you to always continuation bet..."

A little conversation followed between a jovial Matusow and others on the table who talked blithely about the young players in the hand while they sort of sat there. To finish it off, Matusow commented:

"You know when you threw that 8K bet in there on the flop? That bet said, 'F**k!'"
