On a flop, Maximilian Seidel bet 6,500. He was up against Armando Collado Lanuza and Roman Korenev. Both made the call and the three went on to see the land on the turn.
Koronev checked to Seidel and the German went all in for 30,500 total. Lanuza asked how much it was and then counted it out the chips for a call but didn't call yet. He smiled to Koronev and then started talking.
"Don't ask me about the time, please", he asked the rest of the table. "I try to be the whizzkid here, don't odds and so but I can't do it", he continued.
Eventually he went all in as well and Koronev quickly folded.
Armand Collado Lanuza:
Maximilian Seidel:
The Nicaraguan had a flush draw and a gutshot and needed a hit to bust out Seidel. The river was the and he made his straight.
"Yes good, sorry my friend", Lanuza said while standing up to celebrate his win in this hand.
"Aah come on", Seidel complained as he stood up from the table and left.
Lanuza meanwhile was enjoying his at the table as he just ordered a whisky. "Wishky is coming, straight is coming, this is going well", he laughed.

He could quickly muck his hand, as Amyot showed for the winner.
