Zawadzki Bests the 'Most Interesting Man in Poker'

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante

Action was picked up when Chris Richardson raised his action from the small blind and it folded around to Mikolaj Zawadzki in late position.

"Can I see how many chips you are playing with sir? " Zawadzki asked and Richardson then comically placed all his chips on the felt in singles.

"Ok ok I am satisfied, you are most interesting man in poker, I call," Zawadzki responded as he threw out the call.

The flop was {8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{q-Spades} and Richardson bet 6,500 and Zawadzki called.

The turn came the {2-Diamonds} and Zawadzki called a bet of 8,000 from Richardson.

But on the {k-Hearts} river, Richardson checked, to which Zawadzki bet 22,000. This sent Richardson deep into the tank, as he only had around 26,000 left in his stack. After nearly two minutes he picked up two black chips and pretended they were Oreos to reenact a scene from the movie Rounders, either for comic relief or some new strategy no one knew.

"If I fold will you show? " He eventually asked.

"I let you pick one," Zawadzki said with a smile. Richardson just laughed and after another few moments he tossed in his cards face-up, showing {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}. Zawadzki then offered his cards for him to expose one but he refused, much to the dismay of the table.
