British pro Roland de Wolfe and German Pokerstrategist Tobias ‘Pokernoob’ Reinkemeier played out a bizarre hand at the EPT Barcelona.
On a A
10
7 9 4 board, de Wolfe made a river bet, only to be called by ‘Pokernoob’. De Wolfe flashed the K, (presumably holding a busted flush draw), and declared king high. Pokernoob stares blankly at him, and asks him to show both. But de Wolfe refuses, and places his hand into the muck.
A jubilant Pokernoob then flips over Q 6 (another busted flush draw) and looks to rake in the pot. An astounded de Wolfe tries to force his hand out of the muck, but Pokernoob insists de Wolfe had to show both of his cards to claim the pot (as he made the call).
The floor personnel was called in and the 300k pot was handed to Reinkemeier, as de Wolfe had not displayed both of his cards on showdown, prior to putting them in the muck. Both players have since been eliminated from the tournament, with the final table already set. Here is the rather baffling clip, you can fast forward to 1:30 when they start speaking in English.
