Big Name Makes Big Pass

. Nirmalananthan had bet 2,700, raised to 6,275 fairly quickly by Rosen. He thought for a while, as seems fair when eventually coming to the decision to pass 
face up.This elicited more than one raised eyebrow around the table, and a comment from Jean-Robert Bellande along the lines of, "I thought I might have been able to take that one on the flop!" I therefore propose some slow play occurred earlier.
Immediately after the hand, Rosen and tablemate Bryn Kenney (who wins today's Bling prize for an enormous cross so glittery I can only look at it for five seconds at a time) stood away from the table fervently discussing something or other. A lot of players know each other here today, and I imagine the break, in a few minutes, is going to be even more full of those ubiquitous huddles of behoodied players intensely discussing hands for the 20 minutes they could be in the (rare as hen's teeth) London sun.
