Apter Pushes Williams Off a Monster
With 17,700 already in the pot and a board on the felt, Brett Apter had bet 13,500 from the big blind, and Steven Williams had raised to 27,100. Apter tanked for a minute, then jammed, putting Williams at risk for his last 46,500.
"Nuts versus second nuts, eh?" Williams asked Apter. "Unless you went crazy with the eight-seven of spades..."
Williams tanked for a minute longer, then said, "I have to fold."
"You can see one," Apter offered after Williams mucked, "But I don't know if it'll help you."
Williams turned over the from Apter's hand, and said, "Oh wow, I had the winner, I had the queen-high flush."
Apter nodded and said, "I had jack-ten of spades," without revealing the other card, and raked in the pot.
Ernest "Smitty" Smith, who had a seat at this action-packed table, no longer occupies said seat, and has been eliminated from the tournament.
