We joined the action in a very big pot with Cate Hall, Jose Alberto Lopez Gonzalez andFrancisco Jose Garcia Martin all heavily invested and a pot of 450,000 in the middle already.
Hall, sitting in the big blind, bet 280,000 and was called by Francisco Jose Garcia Martin. But Jose Alberto Lopez Gonzalez raised all-in to 1.075million and that forced both players to fold.
"I was so close to checking, too." Hall said. "I managed to bet the exact worst amount."
Ever self-effacing, despite losing that pot, both Hall and Martin still have plenty of chips to push for a final table place.
