In Every Fight, There Must Be a Winner And a Loeser
We've officially got a short stack now.
Andrew Pantling was under the gun, and he opened to 8,300. Manig Loeser three-bet to 24,100 from the button, but the action wasn't done yet. From the big blind, Vincent Dalet (spurred on by a growing contingent of French birds du rail) pushed his last 97,000 into the middle on a four-bet shove. Pantling quickly folded, but Loeser had a morose look on his face as the dealer broke down the all in. When he learned the amount, Loeser reluctantly called with a slightly covering stack.
Showdown
Loeser:
Dalet:
The door card was a queen, and the pause seemed eternal before the dealer rolled out the full flop. Dalet shot from his chair and pumped his fist at the sight of his ace. The turn and river changed nothing, and Dalet's double was secure. He's pushed himself well over 200,000 thanks to that pot, while Loeser is all the way down to just 28,000.
