A Sick Table
A relatively straightforward one involved experienced German player Benjamin Kang (2nd in the European Poker Masters last October), who raised up to 3,000 on a flop of . Folded around to Polish player Piotr Lopusiewicz, the Pole re-raised all-in with around 8k. Into the tank went Mr Kang for an eternity, constantly questioning the Pole's motives. After six minutes Ben Grundy reminded Kang that he had taken six minutes! Finally, after seven minutes, he folded imploring the victor to show his cards. He did, , to which Kang shot up from his chair, Phil Hellmuth style, exclaiming in clear English swear words!
Not long after, a board showing 789JK had three players betting, cautiously, with 99, 10 10 and JJ. Grundy's tens prevailed.
A sick table indeed. To make things worse for Slade, our next visit saw his very decent 22k stack decimated. Benjamin Kang seems to be the player to have benefitted.
