There's a Hero in All of Us
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Armando Mesina raised to 12,000 in the cutoff and Michael Hindi defended from the big blind. The flop came Q♣7♣2♠ and both players checked to the 5♥ on the turn.
Hindi led out with a large bet of 38,000 and Mesina shoved all in for 133,000. Hindi went into the "blender" as he described it for over two minutes. He eventually flicked in a call and Mesina tapped the table as the cards were tabled.
Armando Mesina: 6♦5♦
Michael Hindi: J♣5♣
Both players turned a pair but it was Hindi with the better kicker and a flush draw. The Q♥ on the river was not enough to save Mesina who was eliminated just shy of the bubble.
