Doctor For Mr Black

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Andy Black makes it 1,200 pre-flop and the button makes it 3,600 total from a stack of 8,000. Back round to Andy and he calls quickly; he then moves all in on the {3-Clubs}

flop. "I don't like that," Andy says as he is insta-called. {K-Diamonds}

for Andy and {Q-Hearts}

for his opponent. No miracle king on the turn or river, and Andy is left calling for a doctor as he feels he has completely lost the plot.
