Anthony Schifilliti Calls Off, Catches, Cashes In

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

A flop of {9-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} hit the felt and a short-stacked player moved all in for his last 21,700.

Anthony Schifilliti went into the tank for a minute or so, telling the table "I have the top pair here..." while contemplting his decision.

Eventually, able to afford the loss with a much bigger stack, Schifilliti decided to call his opponent down and tabled {6-Clubs}{9-Clubs}. Although he did indeed hold top pair, so did the player at risk, and his {J-Hearts}{9-Hearts} put him put in front with the better kicker.

Turn: {6-Diamonds}

Just like that, Schifilliti surged into the lead with two pair, and the {7-Hearts} on the river kept him there. With the win, he pushed over 200,000 to late on Day 1b.
