Gary Otake Busts One
Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
The player under the gun opened to 5,000 and the action fell to Gary Otake in the small blind. He raised to 16,000. Mike Dentale was in the big blind and looked like he had a tough decision.
He took about 40 seconds and eventually said, "fold."
Even after that he seemed reluctant to give the hand up. The original raiser went all in for about 35,000 and Otake called. Otake was in the lead with pocket kings against pocket queens.
Dentale said he folded pocket tens and was calling for a ten as the board ran out. Otake's kings stayed ahead and even improved with a king on the river. Otake earned the elimination right before the players headed to another 15-minute break.
