Cherif Gets Excited After Rockets Hold
Level 24
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
All of a sudden a shout of celebration went up from Table 4, and Fehmi Cherif was up out his chair shouting "Yes!".
The reason became clear after his A♠A♦ had secured a full double-up versus Luca Martin's Q♣Q♦ on the 10♣6♣3♥3♠2♦ runout.
Cherif continued to celebrate exuberantly, prompting the tournament director to ask him to calm down.
"No my friend, people play poker like robots, not me, I'm here to enjoy my time. I'm just a fish in the middle of the sharks, poker needs more players like me.", his monologue causing much mirth at the table.
Eventually Cherif was persuaded to retake his seat, as he went about stacking his chips.
