Field of Shattered Dreams
It would appear as though Gabe Constner's dreams of bracelet gold are coming to an abrupt end as he loses yet another big pot, this time to Deepak Bhatti.
It was a curious affair in the end, and one which commenced with Bhatti three-betting Costner's initial button raise of 375,000 to 1,275,000 - a near half his stack - and Costner making the call.
On the flop, Bhatti, with his arms folded, tapped the armrest with a finger to signify a check and open the door for Costner, who fired out a bet of 850,000. Bhatti moved all in for not too much more, but it was just about enough to ellicit a disgruntled, and reluctant fold from Costner.
From chip daddy, to chip sonny, he is now down to around two million within just three or four hands.
