We Don't Need No Break Time

Melanie Weisner

Wow, two massive hands lasted well into the break, and in the case of one, was in danger of spilling over into the next round. Conveniently the hands took place on adjacent tables, so we got them both.

Hand 1 - Sander Lylloff V. Alex Keating

We arrived just at the start of the break to witness Lylloff checking a {4-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {6-Clubs} flop in the big blind and Keating betting 4,000 from the cutoff. Lylloff dwelled up for a long time before raising to 10,500; Keating called.

Both players checked the {K-Spades} turn (although bear in mind that all this happened very slowly, as Lylloff seems to like taking his time), and then Lylloff checked the {2-Clubs} river too. Keating dwelled up too this time before betting 14,500 with around 30,000 behind. Lylloff now check-raised to 40,000.

Keating removed his sunglasses and rubbed his eyes, and thence commenced the serious tanking. "If you knock out four people today do I still get the �100?" he asked Lylloff. We have no idea what this was referring to. He continued to dwell. "You can go on break if you want, I don't wanna waste your time," he continued. "I have a pretty good hand. Not great though." Keating pretended to fold to see what kind of reaction he might get from Lylloff, but there was nothing.

Eventually Lylloff called the clock. "You can't call clock on break!" laughed Keating, but there it was. Eventually he folded, saying he'd had pocket kings. Lylloff told him he'd had one pair, but declined to show, even when Keating offered to pay to see. Later on, another player told Keating he'd seen the {J-Clubs} in Lylloff's possession, but this is unconfirmed...


Hand 2 - Melanie Weisner V. Shaun Deeb

So meanwhile on the next table Deeb and Weisner had got as far as the river of a {Q-Clubs} {7-Spades} {10-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {4-Spades} board. Weisner had bet 7,900 and after a long period of expressionless tankage, Deeb raised to 35,000 with 23,000 behind.

Now it was Weisner's turn to dwell up, randomly stacking chips as the break clock ticked down. Eventually, with two minutes left on the clock, the TD came by and told her she had until 30 seconds to make a decision. She continued to tank. "Will you show me if I fold?" she asked eventually, a sure sign of imminent folding in our blogging experience. And duly, with the other players arriving back at the table and just seconds to go, she passed. Disappointingly, no-one showed anything.
