Poker Inception (Marco Labate in front watching and playing poker)
Level 12: 1,000/1,500 (1,500)
Entries: 252/799
Watching poker and playing poker doesn’t have to be mutually exclusive. Over at Table 13, Marco Labate spent most of the day watching poker episodes on his phone.
We just witnessed him increase his stack significantly while watching other people play poker on his phone.
We arrived at his table with 10k in the middle on the turn and the board reading A♠Q♠T♥4♠.
After his opponent, Federico Constantini checked, Labate bet 5k and Constantini check-raised to 12k. Labate called.
The river fell A♥ and again Constantini checked. Now Labate pulled out the big guns and bet all his chips – roughly 25k. Labate contemplated his actions, but eventually let go of his hand.
Marco Labate – 59,000
Federico Constantini – 30,000
