Back and Forth
There hasn't been a lot of action during the last few hands. The players have been playing 88 hands so far in this long heads-up match.
In hand 77, on a flop, Dietrich Fast bets 585,000, and John Gale raises enough to put him all in. Fast snap-folds and drops to 3,400,000.
The next few hands are a succession of raise-and-folds preflop, but Fast takes a lot of time to play those small pots. In hand 85, Gale even calls the clock on Fast preflop soon after the players got their cards. This triggers a small discussion between the two players.
There still no action going on until hand 88, when Fast opens to 260,000 and Gale calls to see a flop. Both check and the turn is the . Gale bets 400,000. Fast calls. On the river, Gale fires 850,000 and gets a quick call from Fast. But Fast mucks even quicker when he sees Gale's for two pairs.
Fast has 3,300,000.
Gale leads with 7,400,000.
