Mahfooth Can't Find a Fold with Eights
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
The button was all in for his last 12,300 and was at risk to Wasim Mahfooth, who called from the cutoff. During his decision time, Mahfooth was in the tank, debating whether to call or fold.
"I have snowmen, I like snowmen, I am from Michigan," said Mahfooth.
"You can fold eights," the button replied.
In the end, Mahfooth called.
Button: A♣J♦
Wasim Mahfooth: 8♦8♠
Mahfooth did indeed have pocket eights, and they held out to scoop the spot and secure the KO following the Q♠3♣6♥K♥6♣ runout.
"I'm from Michigan, I can't fold snowmen" repeated Mahfooth.
