Adriaan Schaap opened from the button for 500 and Antonio Esfandiari called in the big blind. Before the flop was dealt Schapp splashed the rest of his chips in for a total of 1,200. A flop of low cards came and as Schapp had acted out of turn it was action on Esfandiari but the bet would stand. Esfandiari checked and folded as Schaap flipped over saying, “My first hand of the day.”
It still left him very short though so it was unclear what his other hands had been.
It's all very friendly at table 13 where Dominik Nitsche, Elliot Smith, Jason Wheeler, Peter Gould, Jason Duval, Eduard Abbasov
and Gil Morgensztern are sharing a table.
"We're playing the show one card game," said Jason Wheeler, "and also the deuce-seven game, show seven-deuce and you get €100 from every other player."
"What happens when someone else joins the table?" someone asked Wheeler.
"We'll convince them!" replied the American laughing, "or we'll eliminate them."
At that point Wheeler began to get involved in a substantial pot against Abbasov. Wheeler had bet 2,500 on a board only for Abbasov to raise to 5,000. Wheeler made the call to see the on the turn and checked.
Abbasov bet 6,000 and Wheeler quickly check-raised all in for about 25,000. The Russian player tanked for a few minutes before finally calling with . The on the river made Abbasov quads and he knocked out Wheeler.
The 'show one card' and 'deuce-seven' games will continue on this table but they'll have to do without one of their more enthusiastic fans.
Antonio Esfandiari has lost €1,900 to Salman Behbehani playing Lodden thinks with Nick Maimone playing the role of Lodden. On the last one the question was the percentage of winning poker players which Behbehani with a guess of 3%. Esfandiari was shocked declaring he thought it was higher as he was an optimist. Maimone too thought it might be higher but he’d read that number somewhere.
The next Lodden thinks question was the percentage of people in the tournament who believed in God. This sparked a debate on what was meant by God, and as they tried to define what God really was your reporter quietly moved away.
