The Most Exciting (Bog Standard) Hand at WPT Venice

Table Two is where it is all happening here at the Casino Di Venezia. Giovanni Rizzo and Arnaud Mattern seem to be passing the conductors baton to each other as they take turns to create all of the fuss and furore. The laughter coming from the table is incessant and in the following hand it just erupted causing the whole room to converge onto the table.

Christopher Creus raises to 1,300 and Magda Barczak tells the table she is fed up before three-betting to 3,150. Rizzo and Mattern start laughing but Creus is in no mood for fun and frolics as he pumps the action up to 8,450. Back to the fed up Creus and she moves all-in for 45,000 and Creus immediately calls. While all of this is happening there is a crescendo of laughter building to the tempo of Rizzo the conductor. Barczak turns over [Ad] [Ah] and everyone bursts out laughing and starts shouting. Poor old Creus turns over [As] [Ks] and as thirty people mob the table he has a look that says what is everyone going so mad about.

The board runs out [Qh] [9c] [6c] [2h] [6d] and the table is going crazy.

"What is all that about?" Asks a very calm looking Zimnan Ziyard.

"Absolutely nothing," we tell him.

Barczak ~ 100,000
Creus ~ 80,000
