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 Q72 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: 65All in
Michael Hindi: J5

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.
