Fireworks Fizzle Out

Mikkelsen - roughly same chips as before
Mikkelsen - roughly same chips as before
Over on the feature table, where it's actually very soothing to be a railer, with the squashy benches to sit on and the relative hush and the bright lights making it very warm and pleasant, an enormous pot erupted.

Matthew Woodward made it a minimum-raise 120,000 and Grayson Physioc called, as did Dag Martin Mikkelsen on the button and Steven Silverman in the big blind. Four-way to the flop.

Flop: {4-Hearts} {J-Clubs} {4-Clubs}

It checked all the way around to Mikkelsen, who bet 225,000. Silverman passed, but Woodward announced all in for a total of 1,800,000 and pushed his whole stack across the line. Physioc got out of their way, and back to Mikkelsen, who looked Woodward dead in the eye, or would have done had Woodward not been staring intently at the felt. "I call," he said most decisively, and all the railers stood up for some reason.

But...

Woodward: {Q-Spades} {J-Spades}
Mikkelsen: {Q-Diamonds} {J-Hearts}

Turn: {2-Clubs}
River: {7-Hearts}

Choppity chop.

In fact, there have now been three chopped all-in pots since we got back from dinner - {A-?} {K-?} versus {A-?} {K-?} for Alem Shah and Pieter de Korver, and {A-?} {J-?} versus {A-?} {J-?} for Steven Silverman and Daniel Zink. It's as though the poker gods want us to stay here in the Le Sporting Club forever.
