Players Bring Twitter to The Table
Vladimir Geshkenbein and Kevin Vandersmissen have had a running battle all day long both at the table on the micro-blogging site Twitter.
At the start of the day Geshkenbein tweeted a rather un-PC comment directed at Vandersmissen which mentioned taking him "to valuetown." Just after the dinner break Vandersmissen made a comment of his own, referring to Geskenbein's drinking at the table, also mentioning "valuetown."
In the hand Vandersmissen raised to 160,000 on the button and only Geshkenbein, in the big blind, called. The flop was met with checks from both players but Geshkenbein bet 150,000 when the arrived on the turn. Vandersmissen made the call and both players saw the fall on the river. Geshkenbein bet 650,000 and Vandersmissen got out of the way and folded his hand.
"Taken to valuetown," said Geshkenbein with a wry smile on his usually serious face.
Geshkenbein climbs to 3,800,000 whilst Vandersmissen drops to 5,100,000
