Frazer Shows Testicular Fortitude

[user4144]

More drama than a Lost finale now as the action thickens on Table Gus Hansen. In fact, it was the Great Dane himself who set the first firework, his opening raise of 3,200 from early position being reraised to 6,000 by Alain Roy on the button. But whilst the aforementioned were holding sparklers, small blind Ian Frazer came armed with a Catherine wheel and swiftly pushed his entire stack of circa 40,000 across the line.

With all media drawing closer to the table, the decision was on Hansen whose mulling made Droopy like Speedy Gonzales. But after emerging from the think tank, Hansen declared "this is probably stupid" and made the fold.

And although Roy deliberated in near similar fashion, he found a call and flipped {A-Clubs}

. A semi-relieved Frazer tabled {6-Hearts}

.

A board of {3-Spades}

favoured a jubilant Frazer, whilst a battered and bruised Roy could but shake his head dismissively and brace himself for a day of nurturing a depleted stack of 20,000.
