Docherty Ungrateful For Chouity's Favor

David Salituro

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Heads-up on a board of J♣7♣A♠2♣, David Docherty bet 11,000 from the button and Nicolas Chouity called in the cutoff.

The river was the 10♠ and Docherty moved all in. Chouity, with around 25,000 remaining, tanked for several minutes before calling off his last chips.

Docherty turned over A♣10♦ for two pair and Chouity threw A♦3♥ into the muck. Docherty, who had been using Chouity's phone charger, made sure to return it before the 2010 champion of this event made his exit.

"Never feels right when you bust the guy whose charger you've been using," tablemate Martin Zamani observed.

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Jerome Sgorrano three-bet to 11,600 in the small blind and Boris Kuzmanovic called on the button.

The flop came J♣3♥3♦ and Sgorrano bet 11,100. Kuzmanovic called and the Q♣ fell on the turn.

Sgorrano slowed down and checked, and Kuzmanovic bet 17,000. Sgorrano called to the 6♥ river, where Kuzmanovic moved all in. Sgorrano snap-called for 40,000.

Kuzmanovic turned over Q♠J♠ for two pair and Sgorrano shot out of his seat with such force that he knocked all of his things hanging from his chair onto the floor. He threw A♠J♥ into the muck and quickly left the table, leaving behind his neck pillow as his former tablemates called him back to get it.
