Marcel Bjerkmann

WPT Venice Day 3
The media have everything crossed in the hope that Marcel Bjerkmann somehow manages to find his way to the final table. The Norwegian is on another planet out there and is entertainment personified. His current ire is aimed solely at Andrea Dato, but it seems nobody is escaping his wrath at the moment. Here are a few pearlers from Bjerkmann in just the last fifteen minutes.

Bjerkmann raises to 12,000 in first position and James Akenhead moves all-in. Bjerkmann decides that his [5s] [3d] open is not strong enough to call the all-in and folds face up.

Andrea Dato raises on the button and Bjerkmann defends his big blind. The action is checked all the way to the river on a board of [Ad] [Qh] [5d] [As] [2c] and at the end of the action Bjerkmann says, "man you are so bad. Just horrible." before flashing [8s] [4h]. Dato picks up the pot with [5h] [4c].

Then Gianluca Trebbi raises to 11,000, Andrea Dato three-bets to 25,000, Trebbi four-bets to 63,000 and Bjerkmann (who is not involved in the hand) bursts out laughing before saying, "how do you like that?" To Dato. Dato folds his hand and Bjerkmann is still laughing loudly into the face of the Italian. Dato turns around and looks at Bjerkmann and says, "lets play 50/100, me and you."

"Don’t talk to me!" Shouts Bjerkmann.

Dato ~ 745,000
Bjerkmann ~ 240,000
