In the early stages of the third day of the race at the PokerStars Open in Namur there were a couple of quite sensational hands: if the first is a pure and simple Cooler, the spot that involved Clay and Chergui is hands in the hair. One of the most cruel blows to be suffered at the poker table
Over the years, at the poker table, everything has been seen: but probably the worst type of hand (to be undergoing) is the one in which luck matters to 99.99%. An example is the clash between Clay and Chergui staged at the PokerStars Open in Namur. Here’s what happened
Quiet but not too much

Once the bubble is broken out, do the players enter a more “quiet” mode? Not really: on the one hand there is the security not to close the main event “in negative”. In the event of early elimination, a consolation prize arrives which makes the departure less bitter. On the other hand, however, there is the bulk of the work. The stage game is certainly more complicated: sometimes we don’t have too many room for maneuver e We must hope to be on the right side of a coinflip. At the same time we must avoid potentially dangerous hands. For example, a defense of the large darkness that transforms a marginal hand into a large dish in which we do not know well where and how we are compared to the opponent.

These are classic situations in which players accept their destiny in a more or less peaceful way

In Namur the darkness are 6,000/12,000 with 12,000 of doors and Dean Clay decides that the time has come to put all the chips in the middle. Its Push for 400,000 pieces finds the Anass Chergui call. The two present themselves at the showdown with the same cards: a♦ K♣ For English Clay against a♠ K♦ of the Dutch. The flop is frightening since they come to♣ 5♣ 2♣ between the amazement of the crowd. In jargon, for Clay it is a freeroll: cannot lose his hand; Evil that goes is a split but it can still win. Ideal situation. The turn is a q♥ But that 9♣ At River changes everything. It is bad to lose a mega pot like this but poker is also this
