Gelencser Hits the River, Expedites His Own Table Break

[user46298]

The limits being at 2k/4k now, every pot which gets to the river involves large towers of orange 1k and blue 500 chips, and stacks which are meant to be secure around average (just under 40k) turn into dangerously short ones in just a few hands.

Enough players have busted to break another table, and Peter Gelencser just helped the process along. He was betting against a short stacked opponent on the turn in Omaha hi-lo with a board reading {10-Spades}

- there was 12k in front of each player on this card, but it wasn't clear who'd threebet whom.

The river brought the {Q-Hearts}

, and a bet from Gelencser which put his opponent all-in. Call - and muck - as Gelencser showed {10-Hearts}

for the rivered house.

"Good river," sighed the lilac-shirted bustee, "Nice hand." He left in a most gentlemanly fashion, while his chips bumped the young victor in the hand to over 50k.
