Shuffle-up and deal

May 8th, 2010 by pierre

It is 15:00 and the tournament director announces the “Shuffle-Up and Deal”.

100 players are registered so far but we still see players in the queue to pay the €10,000  buy-in.

Sorel Mizzi is seated at  table 11 and he has some enjoyable company including Vikash Dhorasoo, Rui Cao and Leonard Truche.

Like usual, Sorel Mizzi plays a lot of pots at the beginning of the tournament. I already heard him raising 3 times preflop and speaking in French. “Relance,  Trois cents!!” which means “Raise, 30o!”.

We know that the Canadian loves France and the French language. Everybody appreciates his efforts to speak the local tongue.
