Selin Makes the Squeeze

[user46298]

Patrik Selin just moved all-in preflop on the small blind, for around 35,000, with three potential opponents who all took their time in deciding they didn't want to risk that much after all.... First off, big blind Josh Gould gave it a bit of a dwell, then passed to cutoff Jason Ho - another pass - then finally there was just button Peter Gould to get through. He'd already committed what looked like 8,500, and genuinely looked like he was ready to give somebody a spin...but it turned out that somebody was more likely Ho and not the shoving Selin, and he too passed. Not a bad pot with no flop - like when cats sit on the top of a fence and win territory by just staring at each other instead of actually fighting.

Incidentally, the TV set is firing on all cylinders, with some extremely bright spotlights which swing around crazily after every hand is played. Out into the audience, swooping over the table, round and round the carpet and walls like the inside of a pub disco on Saturday night. They come in dazzling white, blue and red, and when the latter two are played together over the table, it looks like the finalists have all been pulled over for speeding by the cops.
