Black Gets Payday Shove Through
Level 8
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Christopher Black came armed with an extra incentive for anyone who called his 25,000 shove from the button.
Black placed five T-5,000 chips on top of a Payday candy bar and pushed both into the middle.
However, the treat consisting of peanuts rolled over a nougat-like sweet caramel center was not enough, and Black couldn't find a caller.
