Rino Hunted
Level 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
A preflop raising war between Giacomo Maisto (utg+1) and Rino Mathis (big blind) was in an advanced stage when we got there - the presumably five-bet from Mathis was 7,300, and Maisto had just gone all in for 19,850. Mathis cleared his throat when the amount of the shove was ascertained. He poured himself a glass of water and stared at the felt for a while. Eventually he called.

Mathis was reduced to just 1,700, which went in from the small blind next hand to a cutoff raise from Andrzej Siemieniak. "Why didn't I look at your stack?" lamented Siemieniak with a giggle; he called anyway and was still giggling as Mathis busted out.
