"Mama mia," he said as a {7-Spades}

With blinds on 600 and 1,200 with a running ante of 100, a short-stacked Marc Veldhoven decided to make his move, pushing in his final 7,200, in addition to a Bounty Bar that was resting on his stack, with {K-Diamonds}

. Unfortunately for him, Joey Buhmann was salivating in the big blind with {Q-Clubs}

, and had no trouble surviving a harmless {5-Clubs}

board.

As Veldhoven donated his Bounty Bar to his assassin, Buhman commented, "It's not the real thing."
