Matt Warburton

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Pierre Calamusa found himself all in against Abderrahim Ineflas preflop, with Calamusa at risk and photographers stood in sight to capture the moment.

Pierre Calamusa: K♠J♣
Abderrahim Ineflas: K♣8♣

The flop was 10♣4♥2♣. At this point, Ineflas had picked up a flush draw and Calamusa stood up in anticipation of what was to come, seemingly ready to leave the table.

The turn came the 4♦ and the river was the 7♠. Ineflas faded his flush draw and Calamusa held with king high. He sat back down in disbelief as he scooped over the chips for the double up.
