Lady Saves Suarez

[user4144]

As the action folded around to the small blind, Neil Suarez made it 18,000, leaving the decision on Ganesh Bathmanathan in the big blind.

There was a touch of confusion as Bathamanathan pushed in 30,000 - perhaps intending to raise more - but Jack Effel was on hand to ensure that it was a legal raise. With the big blind at 6,000, Suarez's raise was 12,000, and Bathamanathan's additional 12,000 was a min-raise, and thus above board.

After Suarez made the call, we saw a {10-Clubs}

flop, at which point Suarez pushed all in for a total of 56,500.

"I really don't know what I'm supposed to do here," confessed Bathmanathan, but in the end he called, inquiring "Do you have a ten, you got any of that?" before finally showing {8-Hearts}

. Suarez revealed {Q-Diamonds}

.

"No queen, no queen!" commanded Bathmanathan, perhaps unaware that a deuce was destructive too. The {7-Clubs}

was picture free, but the river wasn't, the {Q-Spades}

prising a collective roar from the crowd, and leaving a distraught Bathmanathan with his hands on his head.

Suarez, meanwhile, was elated, and quickly switched to his 'business' face: "What did I tell you about the bubble?" he said with an oomph. "Now I'm f***ing staying until tomorrow and I'll take more of your chips then."
