Not Many Showdowns
As we rapidly approach the bubble, the number of showdowns has dropped dramatically, with most pots being settled preflop or with a simple continuation-bet on the flop.
One hand that I though was going to go all the way was when a player from middle position raised to 9,000 and Elky, next to act, called him. The rest of the table folded, leaving the pair to see the flop.
The initial raiser bet 6,000 and Mr Grospellier called.
Turn:
The player in middle position now checks, and the Team PokerStars Pro checks behind.
River:
Again, the player in middle position checks but Elky does not want to give him a free showdown, so spoils matters by betting 33,000, an amount that his opponent refused to call and resulted in both players' cards hitting the muck
