In a strange play that drew quite a bit of discussion at Green #12, Mickey Appleman moved all in for his last 8,000. He was called by Tony G and overcalled by Robert Mizrachi.
Appleman stood pat; Tony G drew one; and then Mizrachi also stood pat. The two live players, Tony G and Mizrachi, checked the action after the draw. Mizrachi showed J-5-4-3-2 to take the pot and eliminate Appleman.
After the hand was completed, Mizrachi, Tony G, Mike Matusow and David Benyamine got into an animated discussion about every player's decision on the draw. Matusow thought that Appleman made a bad decision to stay pat with what had to be a jack, due to the fact that his raise was called and over-called. Benyamine took issue with Mizrachi's comment that he couldn't bet his hand, no matter what he drew. All players agreed that Tony G had no choice but to check to Mizrachi after Mizrachi stood pat as last to act. If he had bet into Mizrachi, Mizrachi most certainly would have had to fold a jack.
Mizrachi defended his decision to stay pat and then check after the draw. "I'm not making any more money on the hand," he said.
"Are you crazy?" Benyamine responded. "What if you draw into the wheel, and Tony makes number two?"
The discussion continued long after Appleman departed.
