Jorstad Gets a Shove Through
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Terence Reid opened the pot for 200,000 before Pierre De Almeida re-raised to 700,000. Action folded around to Espen Jorstad on the button who shoved for around 4,500,000.
Reid quickly folded, but De Almeida went into the tank for several minutes. As he was pondering his decision, the table began filling out bio sheets in preparation for a move to one of the secondary feature tables.
"He's playing Mario Kart," a tablemate said about Karim Rebei.
"He likes Mario, too," Rebei said about Jorstad and the Mario figurine he uses as a card protector, a joke which elicited a smile from the all-in player.
De Almeida eventually folded as Jorstad took in the pot.
