No Roum to Manoeuvre
Level 10
: 600/1,200, 100 ante
Mikhail Lakhitov raised in late position and it folded around to Alexander Roumeliotis in the big blind, who reraised. Lakhitov shoved for what later transpired to be 112,400, Roumeliotis called, and they were on their backs.
Lakhitov:
Roumeliotis:
Board:
Roumeliotis was grinning wildly the whole time the board was being dealt, and at the end of it he enquired, "You got me covered?" It took the best part of five minutes and for some reason two members of the floor staff to assess the two stacks, but eventually it was decided that Roumeliotis had change - around 6,000 of it, or less than five big blinds. We suspect that he is not long for this tournament.
Lakhitov meanwhile is doing rather better, on 230,000.
