Ahuja Wins Preflop

KaelaineMinton

Niveau 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

There were no cards face-up on the table, but there were 22,000 chips in front of Tibor Nagygyorgy in middle position. Ankit Ahuja was on the button, having already put around 7,500 into the pot. Ahuja had all of his time extension cards on the table and went all in, in what can be assumed to be a five-bet jam. Nagygyorgy in his turn threw all his time extensions to the dealer as well, thinking about his decision for a good while.

Eventually, Nagygyorgy let his hand go, surrendering the very sizable preflop pot to Ahuja. Nagygyorgy then asked his neighbor Parker Talbot ''what the book said,'' to which Talbot responded ''**** if I know!'' after which the table burst out in laughter.

Obara showed that he had rivered two pair with . Tomovic frustratingly showed his that was good until the river. He tossed the cards face-up in the middle and took his leave.

Top 5 Casino Movies You Must Watch

MattHansen

Niveau 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

There has been no shortage of movies over the decades portraying the glamor, grit, and decadence of the casino world, from high-stakes nosebleeds to underground games.

Some of the movies that provide the most honest, hilarious, or entertaining looks at the gambling world include Ocean's Eleven (2001), Owning Mahowny (2003), The Cooler (2003), The Hangover (2009), Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998) and Uncut Gems (2019).

But none of these great movies made PokerNews' list of the five best casino movies of all time.

Note: This list deliberately does not include any poker movies, so don't get angry when you don't see classics Rounders and Mississippi Grind. PokerNews already made a list of the five best poker movies of all time.
