Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Andy Gelfand limps in for $300 and is raised to $1400 by Kim Pangun. Harry Ali moves all in for $5825, but Andy does not see it and announces "call", thinking he is calling Kim's $1400. He is made to call the extra $5525 and Kim moves in for another $1275.

Andy reluctantly calls and rolls over {K-Clubs}

, but is up against Andy's {A-Hearts}

and Harry's {K-Hearts}

.

The flop comes {9-Spades}

and Andy can hardly contain his excitement, jumping out of his seat screaming "COME ON!!"

The Turn {2-Hearts}

and River

bring no change, and Kim and Harry are left in amazement while Andy scoops in the 20k pot - taking his total to $26,000.

Dan Alspach has some of the most colorful shirts ever seen in any poker room and he always has the visor to match. Today he also has a chipstack, so we expect Dan, his shirt, his visor and his chips to be around for awhile.
