"I Buy Him Pizza and He Goes All In on Me"

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
David Brown
David Brown

David Brown bet 4,800 into two opponents, and both Greg Wilson and Joe Leisure called on the {6-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{10-Spades} flop. Leisure checked the {5-Diamonds} turn, and Brown bet 12,500. Greg Wilson put it all in, and Leisure folded. Wilson moved to turn his cards over, knowing he barely had more than the bet, just 5,400 more.

"Hold on, don't show your cards," Brown said. "I got caught with my hand in the cookie jar."

After about 30 seconds, he mucked.

"Thank you for the pizza," Wilson said with a grin as he dragged the pot.

"I buy him pizza and he goes all in on me," Brown said.

Steve Galey forced a fold from Kou Vang.

Kou Vang was on the button, and he called 7,500 from Steve Galey after {5-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{10-Diamonds} flopped. Vang called another 13,000 on the {10-Clubs} turn, and a {3-Diamonds} hit the river. Galey carefully counted out his stack before announcing he was all in. The dealer gave Vang a count: 48,700. Vang thought for about three minutes before dropping his cards into the muck.

"Nice hand," he said. "Big bluff," he added with a smile.
