The Seven Deadly Sins: Pride
Level 22
: 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante
Julien Claudepierre raised to 45,000 from the cut off and Thomas Finneran three bet on the button making it 105,000 to play. Claudepierre quietly announced that he was all-in and after several minutes of deliberation Finneran folded.
In the very next hand Julien Claudepierre raised again to 45,000 and Thomas Finneran again three bet to 105,000. Claudepierre once again quietly announced he was all in and Finneran had a much tougher decision than the one before him.
Was pride going to play a part? Would Finneran be forced to call just to show everyone that he was no push over? In the end Finneran did not succumb to the the deadly sin and he very professionally folded his hand.
