Naalden Picks One Up

Yes, as you might have guessed, we're back, the players belts a little looser than before after a sumptuous buffet here at the Alpine Palace. Salvatore Cundari's double through wasn't the first slice of action, however. After Vos had snapped up the opening hand (he has a habit of doing this), there was a tense exchange between Marc Naalden and Simon Borg which went as follows:

With Naalden making it 30,000 to go from the hijack, Borg made the call from the button. On the {J-Spades}{6-Hearts}{10-Hearts} flop, Naalden continue bet for 35,000 and, after a brief pause, was called by Borg who slid in the necessary chips.

The next card down was the {9-Clubs}. Naalden sniffed and cleared his throat before meekly announcing all-in. Borg didn't look happy, and soon let go of his hand.
