Altergott’s Dinner Break Routine
Level 7
: 400/800, 100 ante
Igor Kurganov opened from early position for 1,800 and was three-bet from the small blind by Max Altergott to 4,800. Kurganov eyed up his man and raised to 12,200. Altergot folded his hands with a smile saying, “A present for you.”
Kurganov then mentioned that he had seen Altergott meditating at the dinner break. Vicky Coren Mitchell was mildly astonished saying she didn’t think anyone was more unlike her than Altergott. She then wanted to know if everyone else had something to eat at the break before revealing how she had spent her 75 minutes.
“Two glasses of wine and spaghetti. I’m buzzing and I’ll be asleep by the end of the level.” she told the table.
