Richard Robinson doubles up A-A called all in behind a shove from Rene Freyman with A-J, 500,000 pot, leaving him with 20k.

Then Freyman is all in a couple of hands later and predicably 3 other plays call the 20k and check it down.  Funnily the German Freyman was standing up but when 4 clubs were on the board he smiled and sat back down in his chair before the river action had finished.  Everyone laughed and the German went up to 80k.

Yann Dion who is Celine Dion's brother (seriously) pushes A-K off on the button and chip leader Sneteri Vlikowski insta calls with A5 ss in the small blind to make a 600,000 pot

Q-3-A-4-8 and Yann's Heart must go on, no worries over it being River Deep, Mountain high etc etc

Are you sure someones not pulling your leg about Yann being celines brother?

It is ALWAYS possible, me being gullible and prone to taking things at face value.


Nice to believe it though, we all need to believe in poker miracles

I've heard this too actually. Celine's husband is a big poker freak remember, someone said he's putting him to a few tournaments around Europe.

I hope its true too,yh celine husband rene angelli is a massive poker freak so could be true
