Interesting Developments at Table 3

Ramsey Belmaaza was spotted with a significantly smaller stack than last check and James Pillon was apt to tell the story of how it happened.

He said that Colin Bernard limped, three other players came along before Belmaaza raised. Only Bernard called from there. The flop was low 2x3x6x. The exact details of the hand were somewhat haphazardly told by the table while another hand was going on. But the it seemed as though Belmaaza had check-called 200,000 on the turn and 300,000 on the river after a low turn and river card.

Belmaaza had called Bernard down with king-high, while Bernard had that beat with ace-high to give Bernard an unintentional big pot.

Meanwhile while the retelling was happening, there was action in the current ongoing hand where Pillon ended up all in against Wayne Obrien.

James Pillon: 10?10? All in
Wayne Obrien: Q?Q?

The flop came 10?6?8? to some audible "wow' reactions as Obrien was suddenly close to being out the door. The turn was the 4? and the river the 4? to end his run and give Pillon a big pot.
