Matt Warburton

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Action folded to Daniel Koloszar, who moved all in for 39,000 from middle position. The player in the small blind got the count but opted to fold before [Removed:553] quickly called in the big blind.

Daniel Koloszar: K♥J♦ All in
[Removed:553]: A♠8♦

Simon commented that he didn't want to use his 'one-time' against his friend, gracefully handing over his chips.
