Dobson's Choice

Although the rate of play on Andreas Hagen's table has slowed down somewhat, there is still the odd big clash going on. Both Sunny Chattha and Tony Dobson have taken back a little of the chip profits made by the inebriated but gregarious Hagen - the latter betting out on the river of a 4d-Ts-Ks-6h-8d board after calling a preflop raise, a flop c-bet and they'd both checked the turn.
"That was bad playing by me," Hagen offers as he passes on the river.

Then Julien Legros, hitherto pretty quiet, takes his turn preflop raising to 31k (the blinds are 5k/10k ante 2k). Tony Dobson calls in the cutoff. The flop comes Jd-6c-Qd. Legros leads out for 47k, and both players look at each other's stacks. A good think later, and Dobson raises his slightly shorter-stacked opponent all-in. He sort of shrugs eventually and calls: Kings for the French tournament pro, Fives for Dobson. The river actually brought a King for good measure and Legros out of nowhere now has around 400k while it is Dobson in critical chip condition.
