Goomahs Clipped

Attilio Bitando was in the small blind and he moved all in for his short stack, with Mike Sandler quickly calling and tabling .

Bitando held only and when he saw that his bluff had been picked off he quietly asked the dealer to "gimme a straight."

The flop came down and Bitando caught a lifeline of sorts by pairing his five, but he would still need help to survive this brush with the brink. When the arrived on the turn Bitando softly said "three" while awaiting the river, still searching for that straight (who can blame the 85-year old for a bit of forgetfulness, especially on an empty stomach).
