Amnon Filippi was in deep trouble but found a double-up to find himself in slightly less trouble.
The action folded to him on the button and he moved all in for 825. "You're stack could do damage to mine still," said the big blind, "but I call anyway."
Before either player drew, Filippi said to his opponent, "Take three and be my hero!"
The big blind didn't oblige as he drew one card along with Filippi.
Filippi won the hand with as his opponent drew a pair.
Edit: Filippi busted as we were writing this post.
In a blind battle Garry Gates just got his money all in pre draw against George Lind. Lind quickly drew one after which Gates tanked for around ten seconds before deciding to also draw one card. Both four-card hands got tabled.
George Lind
Garry Gates
Lind squeezed his card and said Gates was a favorite to win. Gates turned over the and won the hand, since Lind had caught a .
"Which card do you throw away," Gates asked Lind who said he had tossed another . It seemed as though all the tens were almost gone, because Gates also claimed to have broken his -hand.
Not long after this hand Lind busted and Gates is looking really healthy with his stack right around 9,000.
Dan Smith raised to 600 from under the gun and was called by the small blind before Michael Mizrachi three-bet to 3,000 out of the big blind.
Smith and the big blind called before all three drew one card. The small blind checked and Mizrachi went to go to his stack when Smith piped up, "20-75."
"20-75?" responded Mizrachi. he then paused for a moment before going back to his stack where he picked up, and threw, 2,100 in to the pot.
Smith was getting great odds on the call, but he probably knew that Mizrachi knew that. After a minute he called and the small blind folded.
