Stefanopolous' Over-bet Shove Gets Through
Level 2
: 75/150, 0 ante
Georgios Stefanopolous has helped himself to some of Antonio Venneri's chips after he forced his Italian opponent to fold to his huge over-bet.
We joined the action on a board reading and saw Venneri bet 3,100 into a 5,300 pot. Without much pause for thought, Stefanopolous announced loudly, "I am all-in," and moved his 34,750 stack into the middle.
After his huge bet Stefanopolous sat with his hands behind his head, before switching to a different position that looked very similar to Phil Hellmuth's trademark pose.
Two minutes were long enough for Venerri to decide he was beat and he folded his hand; Venneri turned over the as he did so.
