Video Discussion - Very Dirty Tricks

Angle shooting, cheating, foul play - call it what you want but this is a pretty dirty trick. These tactics helped the player in question win an EPT title and we want to know what you think.

Angle shooting usually pushes the boundaries of fair play and in many cases can be seen as cheating. In this instance it really leaves a sour taste in your mouth.

Eventual 2011 EPT Grand Final Madrid winner, Ivan Freitez, gets very creative with his understanding of English to extract chips from his opponent on the final table bubble.

The trick

He measures out chips for a call on the river and then announces 'raise' as he puts these chips in the middle. He then sits there looking gormless before he 'panics', claiming he meant
'call' because "no speak English".

All this with a full house, making it look like he didn't want to raise so he'll get a call out of his opponent.

Opponent warned of angle shoot

This was the third time he had employed this tactic during the tournament. Interestingly, the Tournament Director, Thomas Kremser, says to Freitez:

"I think this is exactly the same situation we have had already in this tournament, you did exactly the same move when you had the nuts", before turning to his opponent, Eugene Yanayt, and announcing: "I shall share this information with you"
