The players decided to take a small break but they are already back in their seats.
Jimmy Kebe is slowly turning into Jimmy KGB. Kebe just impersonated Teddy KGB, one of the main characters from the movie Rounders, as he splashed the pot twice.
Both of the times there was a raise from the button from Julien Robert and Kebe proceeded with the words ''all in'' before splashing all his chips over the table and telling Robert in a very Teddy KGBish accent ''You have nothing my friend''.
