The Silent Fist Pump

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

It's understandable that a player would want to celebrate after doubling-up, especially near to the money. In Europe we frown upon the over and loud celebration as it's just not cricket (sorry to those who don't understand the cultural reference).

Anthony Picault just doubled-up through Toni Pettersson and had so much pent up energy that he removed himself from the table and started to fist pump. What was refreshing though was that he did so in complete silence.

The Frenchman opened to 11,000 from the cut-off and then four-bet all-in for 86,300 when Pettersson three-bet to 25,000 from the button. Pettersson called with {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts} but lost out to his opponent's {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} that went on to make a full house.
