This hand just happened on the WPT final table at the bellagio.
i just had a convo with a mate to think what Van Alstyne could actually have here...
obviously i don't know but id like to see what people think he has...
James Van Alstyne is on the button and Claus Nielsen raises in 2nd position to $385,000.
Van Alstyne and Joe Bartholdi both call and the flop comes
Bartholdi bets $600,000 and Nielsen folds. Van Alstyne raises to $1,600,000 and Bartholdi calls.
The turn is the
and Bartholdi checks. Van Alstyne bets $1,400,000 and Bartholdi again calls.
The river is the
and Bartholdi checks again. Van Alstyne checks behind him and Bartholdi turns over
for two pair. Van Alstyne mucks his hand
i reckon i could narrow it down to his exact hand, but you will never find out until the TV coverage, how annoying!
