Jed Turnbull put Ali Ahmed to a huge decision just now, unafraid to commit a stack of 1,700,000 against the only player who could bust him. There was a bet of 255,000 in front of button Ali; Turnbull had simply pressed the red button and moved all in.
Ahmed took a long time to make his decision, questioning the silent Ali, apologising to the table for taking so long. Turnbull remained impassive, swivelling slightly in his chair as his opponent asked, "Want to go for a flip?"
When Ahmed folded, Turnbull said, "I might show you this once," and flipped up ![]()
.
