Apostolidis' Speech!
The action started with Atanas Malinov raising to 500 from under the gun. Ioannis Apostolidis then bumped it up to 5,000 before the decision fell back on Malinov. He four bet to 11,800 only to watch Apostolidis move all in for 55,100 in chips.
A minute or so passed before Apostolidis started speaking out.
��This is the biggest bluff you��ve ever seen!�� said Apostolidis. ��I know you cannot call! But it��s a bluff,�� he added.
��Why can��t I call?�� asked Malinov.
��Because it��s too much. You��re not stupid,�� replied Apostolidis.
��I want you to call so then I can go home and think about how stupid I was,�� added Apostolidis.
Another minute passed before Apostolidis was at it again.
��What do you have?�� asked Apostolidis.
��Queens,�� replied Malinov.
��You don��t have queens because if I did I would��ve called in five seconds,�� said Apostolidis. ��You have sevens,�� he added.
Finally Sam Greenwoon called for the clock and the tournament director came over and started the 60-second countdown.
��I have to see,�� said Malinov, rolling over his 
moments later.
Apostolidis then tabled his 
and watched as the board ran out 
to see him double to over 100,000 in chips.
