I may have mentioned this previously on this thread, although I genuinely cant remember, but more importantly I cant be bothered to go back and look tbh.
When I played the WSOP Seniors, we started with only 4 on our table. Gradually the table fills up and the last to sit down is a guy in seat 8 who is chatting in french to a young lad standing behind him. In his first hand he 4 bets what appeared to be blind and got the required folds. I didnt recognise him, but the radar was on thats for sure, and i made up my mind to avoid a clash with him if possible.
the very next hand I get
on his big blind and I raise obv. he looks at me, smiles and calls. the flop comes 8 high, so and he checks, I bet 800 or similar and he folds. 1-0 me.
Towards the end of level 2, this happened.
Blinds are 50/100.
utg raises in seat 3 to 300.
It folds to seat 7 who raises to 1100.
Seat 8 (the french speaker) calls.
It folds back to the raiser who 5 bets to 2500
Seat 7 shoves.
Seat 8 shoves
Seat 3 calls. so we have a 3 way all in on level 2.
Seat 3 has
Seat 7 has
Seat 8 has
The flop comes
. Seat 8 looks annoyingly smug and knocks them both out with the worst hand and is the chip leader in the room. At the end of level 4 he was out, having called every single raise and donked the lot!!!!! -
Now I get to see who he is as his name is on the leaderboard. He is a Belgian guy called Pierre Neuville.
I Hendon Mob him and this is what I see :-

I chat with him about APAT Belgium and the event I played in Namur and he smiles and says ahh Namur, as if he has some young lady shacked up there.
And of course now he is in the final 27 on the ME in Las Vegas, having been the chip leader going into day 6.
It"s a funny old game.
