[user252447]

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

The most talkative table in the tournament at the moment is the one involving Willie Tann, Miltiadis Kyriakides and Fatima Moreira de Melo. A running joke involving passing around a packet of nuts has been keeping them occupied until a big hand broke out between Tann and Kyriakides.

Tann opened for 3,000 and Kyriakides, sat to his immediate left, made the call prompting a chuckle from Tann. “You nutters, I’m out of here.” said de Melo, but the big blind made the call. The flop was and Tann bet 4,000. Kyriakides made the call which led to chuckles from the table as they watched the dynamic play out, but the big blind was having no more of it and mucked his hand.

The turn card was the and Tann continued, betting 10,000. Once more Kyriakides called and with him calling for a jack on the river and Tann yelling for a black card the final appeared.

Tann then started probing Kyriakides on what he wanted him to do but he claimed not to care as, “Now I have a hand.” “I’ve got a better hand than you. “ was Tann’s response.

Tann cut out chips from each of his stacks announcing, “Rainbow bet, every colour.” and it amounted to 54,000. “I have queens.” Kyriakides told him. “Queen of hearts?” Tann asked but Kyriakides shook his head and finally mucked in disgust saying, “I know what you have. Ace-jack of hearts.” Tann never showed.

Tann opened the next pot for 3,600 and Kyriakides immediately threw out a raise of 8,000. Back around to Tann it went who began, “You have position on me. Position is important.” “It used to be.” Said Kyriakides and Tann shot back, “Position is still important in sex.”

“What was that?” de Melo wanted to know. Tann mucked his hand and repeated it for the demure Dutch player.
