The tasting menu was offered by the house this afternoon! The replay is served to you on a platter.
We came back from lunch leisurely, ready to resume our day… but the Expresso Million has this magic: they often come when we least expect them. The last seven-figure jackpot was no exception to the rule this Thursday, since it was at coffee time, at exactly 1:33 p.m., that our golden table made its fourth appearance of the month of November, on a Nitro at €250. And we imagine that for Tasty Tomato, SusoTips et nemets1the digestion phase was quickly forgotten, because it was not time to take a nap…
The first named begins with a fanfare, with a pattern that announces the color: he sends the box on the first hand, without being paid, before winning the second, going all-in on the third, and winning again the fourth. But the situation changed on the sixth hand, at the end of which Tasty Tomato offered SusoTips a double-up. nemets1 won his first chips two moves later, before a first turn on hand #10, about which we didn't understand much, from the preflop fold of SusoTips to the BB call of Tasty Tomato. The latter finally wins on the river and leaves nemets1 crippled. He eliminates it on the next hand, this time finding the magic card on the turn… nemets1 therefore fell to 3rd place, still collecting €80,000 for his efforts.
The duel then begins with a slight advantage in chips for our tasty tomato, and is mainly played with all-ins unpaid preflop and rare moves played postflop. After 9 hands of heads-up, the situation will finally settle: Tasty Tomato puts his 5.3 blinds into play with a legitimate hand, and is followed by an equally well-founded combo from SusoTips, who covers his opponent. Despite a huge draw on the turn, Tasty Tomato finds none of its many outsand therefore finished second, consoling himself with €120,000. SusoTips, which we only knew from recent paid places in our tournaments low-stakesleaves with a check for €800,000. So, shall we have a Michelin star for dinner?
