Bryant's Scary Shove

Brentharrington

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

The board read and Jessie Bryant shoved all in. His opponent struggled with the decision.

"Oh, it's just me and him," he said, "I can talk about it then?" He questioned the dealer.

"Top pair and a straight draw," he said.

Bryant's bet would have put him all in and at risk, so eventually his opponent decided to muck.
