De WSOP Big One is momenteel aan de gang
Het toernooi waarbij de winnaar de grootste geldprijs ooit kan winnen is gisteren van start gegaan. In ieder geval zijn er momenteel al 11 spelers uitgeschakeld en heeft Mikhail Smirnov een move gemaakt die geen mens hem gaat nadoen. Hij had een four of a kind en foldde zijn hand tegen John Morgan. Hij zal nu voor de rest van zijn leven getekend zijn als de man die Quads foldde. Er werd hem nog gevraagd of hij de aankomende nacht wel zou kunnen slapen. Hij antwoordde hierop; Natuurlijk zal ik gewoon kunnen slapen. Ik had het gevoel dat ik achterstond en dan fold ik mijn hand. Zoals John Morgan speelde moest hij wel een straight flush hebben. John Morgan zelf wou zijn kaarten niet laten zien. Hij vond dat hij anders geen respect toonde voor zijn tegenstander.
