"That's How We Do It in Europe!!!"
One of the biggest stacks in the room belongs to Gabe Walls, who recently tried to bully a German player named Steven Thomsen out of a pot preflop but to no avail.
Walls opened to 900 from middle position, a player called in the cutoff and our German friend three-bet to 3,750 with the button. The blinds folded and as ESPN cameras rushed to the table, Walls made a huge raise moving all in. The player in the cutoff released, but Thomsen called all in for 16,075 more.
Walls: (Weeeeee)
Thomsen:
The flop:
"That's a fun flop," Walls said with a smile.
Thomsen stood up in frustration as the turned, keeping him alive. There were two aces in the deck that could win Thomsen the pot.
Lightning struck in the form of the , and Thomsen went crazy.
"Yeahhhhhhh!!!" he shouted. "That's how we do it in Europe!!!"
Thomsen was warned for excessive celebration, but he had reason to shout after the suck and re-suck doubled him to over 40,000 chips.
Oh, and don't worry about Walls. He's still atop our leader board with 162,500 to his name.
