Argyros Crippled, Douglas Doubles
Level 16
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
We arrived in time to see a crowd of players gathering around Table 17. David Douglas was all in for his last 75,000 and action was on Billy Argyros. After a few moments of pondering, Argyros asked someone at the table for a coin, remarking that he would call the all in if a coin flip resulted in tails.
Argyros flipped the coin and then quickly realized the coin from Macau had symbols that did not represent heads or tails, thus rendering his earlier statement irrelevant. In the end, however, he opted to call only to find that his hand was crushed.
Argyros: 
Douglas: 
The board ran out clean as it fell 
, allowing Douglas to score the double. Argyros, on the other hand, was left crippled with just around 4,000.
