Tuomas and the “Cowboys”…

Eurobet player, Tuomas Pellinen just got all his chips in the middle.

Having been dealt “Cowboys”, there was a caller. As with every poker story, there is always a twist. The Finn ran into “Bullets” and his tournament life was on the line. The flopped bricked out. The turn bricked out. Could the river possibly help? Not this time, another blank sends Tuomas to the rail. It’s unlucky, he’s managed to play solid poker the past few days and was just a victim of the cruel game. He tells me he’s now going to enjoy the next few days in Monte Carlo. It’s glorious weather outside, so it’s not been a wasted trip.
