Another man was placed in arrest after the follow-ups made by the Berlin authorities following the March 6 heist during a poker tournament at the Grand Hyatt Hotel. The German police has Mohammed Abou-C in custody with suspicions of initiating the attack.

The 31-year old suspect was arrested a day after a warrant was issued against him. Abou-C was cornered and handcuffed while he was driving around the capital. He is the sixth suspect put behind bars linked to the poker robbery. Back in March, four individuals who participated in the raid was arrested with another individual who organized the attack was also apprehended.

According to the prosecutor holding the case, Abou-C was responsible for pointing to the other accomplices where the money was placed. It is the critical information he gave to the other robbers which somehow lead to the crime.

Despite the arrests in the past months, the police are still in the dark in trying to recover the money. Up to now, only 4,000 euros have been recovered of the missing poker prize money. Most likely, more arrests will follow so authorities can also trace if not recover where the money had gone.

Looking at the bright side, poker organizers have beefed up security in all poker tournaments. This guarantees more protection for players and another mess like the Berlin poker tournament is less likely to happen.

Phil Ivey might really be the best in the world. He knows Jennifer Harman‘s range, he knows his jacks might be in trouble against her pre-flop range, he awaits the board, calls the turn to catch the 2barrel and folds the river. Excellent.

Here’s a comment I fully agree with from the youtube page;

Harman/Ivey is fairly standard. she raises and cbets with AK, KQ + the obvious big pair, but he beats some of her range, and a call on the turn stops a 2 barrel and sets up river check/steal or check/value raise if she was light.
Its Howard “Prof” Lederer that amuses me. WTF is he doing calling an EP raise + a call with A rag? Not enough equity to make it profitable against a 8 handed EP range and if he thinks hes going to make up for it by outplaying those two postflop, he’s delusional.

Dario plays the players, not the chips. He plays the position, he plays the hands, he doesn’t mind the size of the pots – he just wants to take the pots down. We’ve seen that in High Stakes Poker, Dario Minieri LOVES to move those chips!

Poker tells form an integral part of the poker strategy as they can be used by players to discern their opponents’ frame of mind, and thus gain extra information about their card hand. This can be used to gauge whether they have a strong hand with good cards or a weak hand, whether they have any specific trump cards that may give them an edge over others and so on and so forth. Poker tells can manifest in the form of physical responses to a new hand, clues, behavioral patterns, mannerisms and characteristic gestures. There are some common rules to the manners in which people behave which can help to “read” opponents. However it is important to remember that these assumptions are not always applicable and professionals in the field often master the art of giving false signals and purposely regarding in specific ways to fool their opponents. In this article we shall discuss two of the most common poker tells.

Anxious, nervous behavior is one of the most prominent tells in poker. People become nervous when they expect a bad hand or receive a set of cards that are less than favorable. .  This is perhaps less obvious when playing in an online casino, such as online casino King Solomons for example. Anxiety at a bad hand can manifest in a number of tangible ways such as the throat becoming dry, the heart rate increasing significantly, the pupils of the eyes becoming dilated and a constant twitching of various body muscles. Many a time players react to a specific hand by responding to them in subtle, yet noticeable physical ways. If the chest expands outwards in a grand manner it is often because the player has been dealt an impressive hand yet if the chest heaves in and out it can be because the player has received cards that might compromise his or her position. The pitch of the voice too is indicative of the level of anxiety being experienced by the individual. A suddenly high-pitched voice is an indicator of increased alarm and tenseness. Many expert players often fake anxiousness to appear nervous and bothered.
