Men are interesting beings and differ in many ways to women. Not only are we deemed less sensitive, but we also have a seemingly unrelenting sex drive, perhaps driven by one of the major assets that separate the genders, the male testicles. However, it is these hanging spheres that can often be a major burden to men, and poker players especially so, as they can often be made available for others for a good, firm kicking.

One player who has experienced this form of physical abuse today is Scandinavian player and early pace setter Johan Berquist. After Jaques Zaicik raised it up from the small blind, Johan re-raised from the big. Dwelling momentarily, Jaques announced call and turned his hand over, seemingly ignorant to the fact that Johan still had two stacks of chips in front of him.

With the Tournament Director called over, it was decided that Jaques' hand, which was A-7 suited, incidentally, would be alive, but not be in a position to bet. On this note, play continued and a J-5-2 rainbow Flop was dealt. With Jaques' actions frozen, play moved straight to Johan who pushed all-in for what looked like a fair amount of chips.

Without hesitation and to the surprise of everyone at the table, and any onlooker for that matter, Jaques announced call without hesitation as if he was simply refusing to be pushed around or taken advantage of. However, he was in need of divine Poker God assistance as Johan had Pocket Sixes, and seemed quite happy with his current situation.

Unfortunately, poker is a very cruel game, and those Scandinavian love balls did indeed receive a wallop in the form of a gut-wrenching Seven that hit the Turn. Jaques banged the table and screamed "Yes" as if he'd just won the lottery as Johan shook his head in disbelief. A harmless later and Jaques was left to rake in a chunky pot as the organisers broke the table. Johan, meanwhile, could only slip out of view and weep on the rail.

I think everyone agreed that this was a truly bizarre moment. "He missed his Flop ans still called," observed one startled player. "He's been making mistakes all day," said another. From my perspective, it seemed like a very odd call indeed. I'm no expert by any means, but there are very few hands he's beating there and the chip stacks weren't really such that Johan would be messing around with rags. I don't think anyone thought Johan had a weaker hand than A-7.

without knowing stack sizes and history between the two we cannot say its a bad call. Who's to say that they hadn't tussled blind v blind several times today and the big blind had showed him a couple of moves to show he's been outplayed. Say the bb had reraised with KQs or QTs and had the extra information of knowing he only had A7 and couldn't possibly call a push? The guy was gonna push on almost any flop not containing an ace or a 7 so I reckon he had already decided he was calling any flop before it even came down.

David 'The Dragon' Pham we think is our chipleader with around 1.2 million after busting a player with A-6 against A-J on an A-9-6-x board. Emil Timberg is in second place, with about 1.1 million and Christopher Klodnicki looks to be part of the million club after just doubling through Diego Perez with Jacks versus Tens in a 1 million chip pot.
