Talal Shakerchi (yes, I promise that is a real name) has just been eliminated by
Neil Channing equipped with a cool, subtle performance that could earn him a Oscar nomination. I expect there was some pre-flop action, but when I joined the action, the board read
and Neil had bet out 2,600 following a check from Talal.
Talal then doubled the bet to 5,600 and sat back in his chair, consequently provoking Neil to pensively exude a "hmm" sound as if perplexed by the move. He then paused for a moment, before flicking in all of his chips in with
for 11,100 more, perhaps hoping that his bet looked like a flush draw of some kind.
In the end, it was all rather academic as Talal had
for a nasty set over set encounter that sees him go hurtling towards the rail in disgruntlement.
