SantaClaus Folds to Shove; Doubles After
Hand 1
Josef Snejberg raised from under the gun and picked up two callers in small blind SantaClaus and big blind Fabrice Halleux. On the flop, the action checked to Snejberg and he bet 1.1 million. SantaClaus check-raised to 2.5 million and Halleux quickly folded before Snejberg checked the stack of his opponent and called.
Both checked the on the turn and SantaClaus also checked the river. Snejberg moved all in for effective 6.5 million and SantaClaus said "flush beats me, the rest not." Some swear words in German followed and he eventually folded. Gerald Karlic joked "show a black card" over to Snejberg, who double-checked his cards and sent them into the muck.
Hand 2
Karlic opened to 1.1 million and SantaClaus moved all in for 6.525 million in the cutoff. Karlic asked for a brief count and called.

The flop didn't change anything just yet, but SantaClaus got there with the turn. A blank river kept the German in the lead and he doubled.
