Finger of Fate

Martin Finger
Martin Finger

Martin Finger has rocketed up to the top of the pack after he won a substantial pot on the river in a three way fight against Chris Moorman and Bernard Samaha.

The board was reading {3-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{J-Clubs} and it had been checked to Samaha who'd bet 8,700 on the river into a pot of nearly 20,000. Finger dwelt up and then made the call and it looked for a moment as if Moorman might make the overcall but instead he released his hand.

Samaha sighed unhappily and, slightly frustrated, showed {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for the missed double gutshot and straight flush draw, but perhaps it was a blessing as Finger showed {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} having a lot of Samaha's outs covered.

Finger is up to 105,000, Moorman is on 36,000 while Samaha dropped to 12,500.
