Eiler Have What He's Having
Michael Eiler raised and got himself called by both Daniel Negreanu in the small blind and Kirill Zapletin in the big. Onwards and flopwards.
Flop:
All three players checked. They got to see a turn card for free.
Turn:
Negreanu checked, but this time Zapletin bet 240,000. Over to original raiser Eiler - who now raised all in. Negreanu quickly got out of the way, but there commenced a long tank from Zapletin. He massaged his temples for some time. Perhaps he could do with borrowing Negreanu's masseuse for a while.
Eventually he folded, and told Eiler, "Nice bluff," ("Naiz blerf," it sounded like in his rather good Russian accent). The expression on his face was sourer than a lemon floating in a tub of yoghurt.
"It was no bluff," Eiler told him, after a pause. "You'll see on TV."
Zapletin, still looking most unhappy, told him that he'd folded pocket jacks.
