The Trash Talking Continues Between the Brits
Tomas Szwarcberg three-bet to 450,000 preflop and was called by Rodrigo Garrido Portaleoni, who then check-folded the Q?8?6? flop to a bet.
Shortly after, Iaron Lightbourne raised to 225,000 and fellow Brit Abdullah Al-Shanti three-bet to 625,000 in the small blind. Lightbourne clicked it back to 1,175,000 and then called the clock on his opponent after a mere 45 seconds. "Best I can do for you mate," Lightbourne grinned.
Al-Shanti was given more time before the extra 30 seconds kicked in and he then mucked, exposing an ace first.
"Show me both and I will show mine," Lightbourne said. Al-Shanti exposed the A?7? and was shown the K?K? by Lightbourne.
They went back and forth with more banter and Lightbourne was all smiles after further boosting his stack.
Jason James and Stephen Song were enjoying the show from up close and could barely stop laughing.
