Bassat Shows The Goods

Nível 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Andrew Bassat, one of Australia's most successful entrepreneurs, just found himself in a raising war with poker legend Erik Seidel. When we arrived on the scene Seidel had 17,500 out in front of him, but the action was on him as Bassat had shoved on him.

Seidel, seated on the button, seemed quite pained by his decision and ultimately he folded.

Bassat threw his cards forward face down, but in the end he couldn't resist.

Bassat showed and said, "It was quite obvious, wasn't it?"

Seidel smiled and tapped the table in defeat, as he just saved himself from potentially busting out.

Another Double for Les

[user153638]

Nível 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

It's been a fortuitous level for Jason Les, who began it with approximately 10,000 and now has five times that.

Les doubled straight away in Level 11, and he just notched another after getting it in as a huge underdog. It happened when Shao Liu raised to 4,000 from early position and Les three-bet jammed for 25,800 from the button. Both blinds folded and the Liu hit the tank until a clock was called, which inspired him to toss in the chips.

Les:
Liu:

Les was dominated and began to get out of his chair after the flop came down . However, the dealer then burned and turned the to give him a set. Les smiled and sat back down while the rest of the table reacted in shock.

"How do you do it?" one asked as the dealer completed the board with the on the river.
